Closing the Book, Taking Away the Name
At the end of the day, the book will close on the stories. At the end of the day, we won't take any of our belongings with us. And so, while most of the world looks outside for their happiness, for their salvation, for their peace, the right questions turn us around to say that there's only one place that we can look and that is in the direction of where the looking is coming from.
An Open Window
We are like the space between an open window. Is the space between the open window inside or is it outside? We tend to think that we have our own private universe inside of us. But on the inner planes, everything is open. Part of the spiritual life is turning your life inside out, so that the inside is visible. Because if we live just looking to the external, we hide inside, we hide parts of ourselves.
Biting Off More Than You Can Chew
The dark night is long when it comes for those who find themselves walking it. But for those who carry a flame within, the encroaching darkness becomes the very canvas on which their light paints its emergence.
None But The One
If you perceive the source of yourself you will perceive it in everything else. And, if you perceive the source in everything else you will perceive it in yourself.
Touching Eternity
Awakening is just seeing what is, just as it is. And seeing that everything we need is not outside of ourselves. Awakening is waking up to this very moment, realising that all of our seeking pulls us away from what simply is. It is to wake up in this moment and see that this moment holds everything. With everything being here, there's nothing left to look for. And then we can get on with our lives, with happiness, with peace.
Receiving the Gift of Life
If we want to rehabilitate our minds, our bodies, our families, and our friends, it first begins with opening our hearts. Because all of those things that are so painful close the door of our hearts. And as long as the door of our heart is closed, we cannot find the compassion, the forgiveness, the acceptance to transform the suffering. As long as we close our hearts, we deny that suffering and thus live in it, unknown to ourselves.
What You Are Searching For Is Right Here
When you feel one thing, you feel the capacity to feel all things. When you hear one sound, you hear all sounds. It's tied to the original sound, the dawning of time and space, the dawning of the universe. When you close your eyes and look, you go back to that place as well.
Big Sky Mind
Many masters, many traditions, have proclaimed: This is it. Right in front of us. If you look for the divine up in the clouds, you would look too high. If you would look for God in holy visions, you would look too far. For all you need to do is look inside of your heart.
The Alliance of the Medicines
The Alliance is a gathering of understanding for us to do our job, to learn about the tribes, about the alliances that are already in place, the alliances with the medicines, the churches, the traditions, the schools that have been here before us, that have walked these paths. We're not the only ones to walk this way. And if we walk well in the ceremony space, and if we walk and work well with the medicine, it is because the path has been paved by others before us.
We Are Each Children
God bless the children. Let us see that we are each children in the eyes of the Mother, in the eyes of the Father—the Holy Mother, the Eternal Father.
