“You should always try to meditate in a place where you will be safe and as undisturbed as possible, but keep in mind that in any meditation practice, a crucial component is to allow—even welcome—changes to the outside environment without interrupting the meditation. Simply observe, experience, and allow things to be as they are.”

“Every Religion is Right Religion (Unscriptured Holiness Sonnet) Islam* is not the right religion, *peace is. Christianity** is no right religion, **kindness is. Judaism is not the right religion, equality is. Sanatana isn't right religion, nonsectarianism is. All scriptures are blasphemy, when peddled as exclusive, infallible handbook to divinity. Literature that demands rejection of backbone, is a lot of things but not material of sanctity. Every religion is right religion, or none are; Claiming exclusive rightness all breed cowards. Every faith is an attempt at divine, or none are; Claiming monopoly of truth faith forfeits regard. By saying your religion is the only right religion, you only prove, your religion is the wrong religion. Religion as an excuse for separation is always wrong, till you transcend religion, all faith is delusion.”

“The mental perspective to hold here is that you accept and allow the dog to bark and the car to drive by, without entertaining the desire for things to be any different than they are.”

“We can compare our attention to light: If we focus our concentration on something, we might say that we are “shining a spotlight” on it. When we practice open awareness, rather than shining a spotlight on one particular thing, we might say that we allow our awareness to “shine” in all directions around us, like the glow of a candle flame.”

“When we simply notice and allow things to be as they are, we naturally disengage from the impulses that would try to control or change things. This is not a practice in passivity or ignorance—quite the opposite. This is a practice in opening your mind and allowing yourself to receive all the information you possibly can before making any moves or taking any action. Notice the word allow. We do not force ourselves to pick up on sensory input; the awareness expands naturally from a practice of calm, relaxed allowing.”
