To Some Degree We All Find Life

We're Constantly Waking Up To What We're About, What We're Really Doing In Our Lives. And The Fact Is, That's Painful. But There's No Possibility Of Freedom Without This Pain.

There Is A Foundation For Our Lives, A Place In Which Our Life Rests. That Place Is Nothing But The Present Moment, As We See, Hear, Experience What Is. If We Do Not Return To That Place, We Live Our Lives Out Of Our Heads. We Blame Others; We Complain; We Feel Sorry For Ourselves. All Of These Symptoms Show That We're Stuck In Our Thoughts. We're Out Of Touch With The Open Space That Is Always Right Here.

If I Were To Tell You That Your Life Is Already Perfect, Whole, And Complete Just As It Is, You Would Think I Was Crazy. Nobody Believes His Or Her Life Is Perfect. And Yet There Is Something Within Each Of Us That Basically Knows We Are Boundless, Limitless.

Awareness Is Our True Self; It's What We Are. So We Don't Have To Try To Develop Awareness; We Simply Need To Notice How We Block Awareness With Our Thoughts, Our Fantasies, Our Opinions, And Our Judgments. We're Either In Awareness, Which Is Our Natural State, Or We're Doing Something Else.

Practice Has To Be A Process Of Endless Disappointment. We Have To See That Everything We Demand (and Even Get) Eventually Disappoints Us. This Discovery Is Our Teacher.
