In the midst of your busyness, you secretly long for a simpler life – one that reflects a slower pace, where you are able to relax, breathe and enjoy some peace of mind. You fantasize about getting away from it all or leaving your responsibilities behind. Rather than retreating to a cabin in the woods or moving ...

What I think an awakening really involves is a re-examination of our common sense. We've got all sorts of ideas built into us which seem unquestioned, obvious. And our speech reflects them; its commonest phrases. Face the facts. As if they were outside you. As if life were something they simply encountered as a foreigner. Face ...

Time feels real, always there, uncompromisingly moving forward. Time has flow, runs like a river. Time has direction, always advances. Time has order, one thing after another.

It is important to take time to cultivate your inner World. Your inner World is the foundation from where you create your life, it is connected to your soul and spirit’s deepest desires and purpose.
