“You, just as you are, and your life here, right now, are all there is and all you need to know. You don't have to do anything special. Mostly, you have to be open to meeting face to face, and even dancing with, the truth that pertains to your life right now. You have to find a way to collect your fractured pieces, examine them, and the accept them as part of who you are. Spiritual practice is about transformation, but it's also, and more importantly, about working with what is.” KnowsWayNeedsFacesSpiritualAcceptingPracticePiecesSpecialRight NowTransformationWho You AreDancingMeetingsFace To FaceSpiritual Practice Author:angel Kyodo Williams

“The most difficult thing for spiritual seekers to do is to stop struggling, striving, seeking, and searching. Why? Because in the absence of struggle you don't know who you are; you lose your boundaries, you lose your separateness, you lose your specialness, you lose the dream you have lived all your life. Eventually you lose everything that your mind has created and awaken to who you truly are: the fullness of freedom, unbound by any identifications, identities, or boundaries.” KnowsLifeMindDreamSpiritualDifficultLosesFreedomStruggleIdentityWho You AreStriveSeekingAbsenceBoundariesFullnessSeekersDifficult ThingsIdentificationDreams You HaveSeparatenessSpecialnessUnbound Author:Adyashanti
“You are an individual, and you came here on your own as a child, and you will die on your own.

“Ego is neither positive nor negative. Those are simply concepts that create more boundaries. Ego is just ego, and the disaster of it all is that you, as a spiritual seeker, have been conditioned to think of the ego as bad, as an enemy, as something to be destroyed. This simply strengthens the ego. In fact, such conclusions arise from the ego itself. Pay no attention to them. Don't go to war with yourself; simply inquire into who you are.” ThinkingHas BeensWarFactsSpiritualPayAttentionEnemyEgoConceptsNegativeWho You AreDisasterBoundariesAriseConclusionDestroyedSeekersWar With Yourself Author:Adyashanti
