“The emergence and blossoming of understanding, love, and intelligence has nothing to do with any tradition, no matter how ancient or impressive-it has nothing to do with time. It happens on its own when a human being questions, wonders, inquires, listens, and looks without getting stuck in fear, pleasure, and pain. When self-concern is quiet, in abeyance, heaven and earth are open.” LoveHumansLooksSelfMatterHappensEarthPainHeavenUnderstandingHuman BeingsPleasureWonderQuietConcernTraditionAncientStuckImpressiveHeaven And EarthEmergencePain And PleasureAhimsaBlossomingUnderstanding Love Author:Toni Packer
“Sitting quietly, doing nothing, not knowing what is next and not concerned with what was or what may be next, a new mind is operating that is not connected with the conditioned past and yet perceives and understands the whole mechanism of conditioning. It is the unmasking of the self that is nothing but masks - images, memories of past experiences, fears, hopes, and the ceaseless demand to be something or become somebody.” MindMaySelfWholePastNextMemoriesKnowingDemandSittingConcernedConnectedPerceiveMaskMechanismNot KnowingDoing NothingConditioningPast ExperiencesUnmaskingSitting Quietly Book:The Work of This Moment Source: The Work of This Moment
