How do I respond to the needs of this situation, of this moment?

The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.

Most of the time it is not you who speaks when you say or think “I” but some aspect of that mental construct, the egoic self.

is utterly impossible. So there is no such thing as “my life,” and I don’t have a life. I am life. I and life are one. It cannot be otherwise.

Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself.

The deeper emotions are not really emotions at all but states of Being. Emotions exist within the realm of opposites. States of Being can be obscured, but they have no opposite. They emanate from within you as the love, joy, and peace that are aspects of your true nature.

Your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose. Inner purpose concerns Being and is primary. Outer purpose concerns doing and is secondary.

Have an agreement with your partner that whenever either of you says or does something that triggers the other person’s pain-body, you will immediately mention it.

Right action is action that is appropriate to the whole.
