Like waves, life is an interval. There is no point in resisting because like a drop of water arriving at the edge of a waterfall, there is nowhere to go but over. It is pointless to resist when it is time.

You spend your entire life fearing something that is inevitable. This fear forces you to swim against the tide and in turn causes stress throughout your life.

You understand that swimming against the tide will soon wear you out, and you will grow tired. After you grow tired of swimming, the tide will take you wherever it pleases.

Accepting the tide or current allows you to become peaceful.

Life will continue to exist with or without you. It will exist when you think about it and when you do not. Swim with the stream, and you are now at rest.

When you allow life to take its course, you will realize that life is a pretty incredible thing. There is no reason to fear death.

It is only important to remember that it will come. When you fear death, you allow yourself to be controlled.

Understanding on a deep level what is here and now, enjoying that moment knowing that the next great moment will come.

When the next moment comes, you can be confident that you will exist wonderfully in that moment as well.

The fear of death is completely absurd. Because if you’re dead, you’ve got nothing to worry about, so you’ll be alright. – Alan Watts

That suddenly brings you here. See there’s no road to here cause you’re already there. If you ask me, ‘How am I going to get here?’ All I can say is it’s the wrong question. Because the very fact that you’re wanting to attain it is the only thing preventing you from getting there. You already have it.

To the degree that you go with a stream, you’re flowing with it, but to the degree you resist the stream, then you notice that the current is rushing past you and fighting with you. Go over that waterfall when it comes, just as you go over any other waterfall. Just as you go on with day to day. Just as you go to sleep at night.
