Peace is the power
that leads all things home.

In peace, one finds directness.
In peace, one finds surety.
In peace, one finds rest.
In peace, one is strength.

Peace comes from not-knowing
at the level of mind.

In not-knowing,
there is no worry.
There is no fear.
There is no judgment.

There is only sweet surrender
to wisdom you can trust,
because you are not attached
to imagined knowing
that keeps you living
with the mind of distrust.

Silence is stillness
and stillness is silence.

Silence is a state of mind
on which chatter has no effect.
This is not because silence has learned
not to be affected by chatter.
Silence has never been affected.
It is perfectly still.

Silence is not an achievement.
It simply is,
and it is always.

Go there, to silence,
and be still in peace.

Stillness is the one answer
you can ongoingly return yourself to.

In stillness, there are no attachments.
In stillness, there is no upset or fear.
In stillness, there are no stories.
In stillness, there is only peace.

God is but love.
When you are but love,
you are God’s reflection manifest.

But love
is not many things.
Seek out those things that are not
but love,
and be done with them,
because they are not the reflection
you choose to be.

Direct experience of joy
requires direct experience of release.

One cannot hold to
habitual mental activity
and know the joy of peace.

One can only know the joy of peace
by choosing to release
that which obstructs it.

Practicing what I teach
is choosing to release.

In true desire to awaken,
question everything.

When you hear yourself say, “I like …”,
question, “Who likes?”
Is it the unlimited
or limited self who speaks now?

When you say, “I believe …”,
question, “Who believes?”
Is it the unlimited
or limited self who speaks now?

Attachments are an activity of mind.
Mind is the limited and definable self.
What are you?

Attachments are an activity of the mind.
They are nothing in reality.
Without mind, there are no attachments;
there is only freedom.

Watch the mind for your attachments,
that which you think you need
in order to be happy.

Say to yourself,
“This attachment is an activity of mind.”
Then rest the mind,
and release the attachment
with the Heart.

Surrender is a mental act.
The true Self need not surrender.
It is the flow of perfection
and perfect Love.

Surrender is a mental act,
because the mind is an obstruction.

The mind can be useful
as the servant of God,
but that is because it allows itself
to be used by perfection.
