One of my best purification practices has been allowing people to rest in whatever story, conclusion, or idea their egos have chosen to attach to. Rather than overexplaining my perspective, I am getting better at letting perception belong to the perceiver and truth belong to me.

Cats aren't uncaring, they're literally so affectionate they domesticated themselves, learned to mimic human babies, and vibrate if they like you. They definitely care, they're just brats with high expectations to be spoiled, which they deserve

we can start with thanking our bodies for things it can do and has done for us: cuts in the flesh that have closed; going from one floor to the one above; smiling; feeling; forming muscle; carrying a scent; being huggable, kissable, loveable; how it gives us warmth in the cold .

Let the mind do its work; you have only to be sure you are not that. If you feel that you are getting lost with the mind, remember that consciousness is always there prior to mind.

You can *be* yourself, but you can’t think about being yourself.

Whatever you think of yourself will only ever be a caricature of what you really are.

So to truly be yourself, without distortion from a false self image, you must become empty of yourself.

You must float along in the dark.

The body itself is a thought.

When a cat wraps around your arm and bites you and starts doing bunny kicks that’s a sign of great respect in their culture

Creative block gets worse when the "me" gets involved.

Is what I am doing valuable? Are people going to like it?

Ignore that.

True creation comes from that silent place before any "me" story.

Let it flow freely without self.

Ramana Maharshi said to me, "The only spiritual life you need is not to react." To be calm is the greatest asset in the world. When you are perfectly calm, time stops. There is no time, karma stops, samskaras stop. Everything becomes null and void.

There is no deepening;
you are deep enough already.

There is no completing;
you are already complete.

There is no freeing from;
you are already free.

You don't have to try to be what you already are.

The Tao is always present within you. You can use it any way you want.

Lao Tzu

[Andy @everyday_awaken]

The body can expose spiritual bypassing more than any book.

I have called it peace when it was probably numbness.

I have called it discipline when I was overriding exhaustion.

The body is not a lower thing in value - a mere vehicle for the soul.

It is the way the spirit expresses itself: the tight jaw, the tired eyes, the stomach that transmits the gut-feeling before the mind can ruminate a conclusion.

Embodied life is not a distraction from Spirit.

Rather it is the artwork of Soul.

Rest when needed. Eat, celebrate, enjoy your embodied life.

It is holy too.
