CONFIDENCE
Confidence and ease do not come from control. It is impossible to cover all potentialities and control every external conditions. In addition, having preconceived ideas about situations limits our natural, intuitive responsiveness to uncertainty. Confidence comes from the ability to meet, accept, embrace, and respond to the unexpected in a harmless way. The development of…

GOODWILL HAS SETTLED IN YOUR HEART
When friction in the mind over what is happening is relinquished, everything becomes simple. Tensions get released, quarrels are not started, hard speech is not uttered, grunges do not arise, and resentment does not shrink the heart. No tight belly, no tunnel vision, no rounded shoulders, no burning stomach. You sleep well and are at…

FROM IGNORANCE TO KNOWLEDGE TO KNOWLEDGELESSNESS
There is an unlocated realm beyond awareness of objects that can’t be grasped. Centerlessness.

LOVING WISDOM
Love contains neither judgment nor attachment. It just springs out of the inner pure nature of being. No reason asked. You can just sit there in its presence. Come as you are: smiling or cantankerous. It will accept you the way you are, whether you want it or not. No different. Not categorizing anything into…

NO PHOENIX
Nothing else matters more than your own freedom. You must be willing to die for it. You won’t like to read that. You must be willing to be unspeakable: lose your name, your physical boundaries, your projects, and your stories. Nothing is really yours, and it never was. Mere bubbles of dream.What you are is…

LOVE BECOMES INEVITABLE
Every day, I witness the power of love that can express itself as forgiveness for oneself or others, generosity, kindness, goodwill, or simply as surrendering to what is—the absence of rejection, of pushing away, of resistance. Giving away without expecting anything in return, regardless of the recipient. It can be trained and cultivated until it…

PERMISSION TO EVAPORATE
Allow yourself to put the burden of your self-generated identity down. Realize that urgencies are a matter of perspective. Time depends on the clinging and on your perception of it. You are not obliged to be someone today. Lay down your status, your skills, your knowledge, your goals, your dreams, and your aspirations. Allow yourself…

THE ENTRANCE DOOR TO FREEDOM
Have you ever wondered what pushes you to act as you do? What are the forces that propel you to get the next thing done, to acquire the next object, to want to modify, change, improve, develop, to rush into, to dream about, to envisage, and to plan?Are you aware enough to feel the energetic…

CORRUPTED
A delivered mind, freed from greed, hate, and delusion, can’t be corrupted since it is no longer stirred up by praise or blame. There is neither an appeal for fame nor a fear of being rejected. Most of the time, there is not even such labeling and classification. It just sees the conditionality very clearly:There…

THE COURAGEOUS HEART
Free from selfhood, everywhere is your home, anytime is the right time, and everyone is your own heart. You have all the names. The struggle for self-entertainment is over. That’s the end of the self-inflicted enslavement. Pain doesn’t come from the outside or from others; mere imaginary enemies. It originates right in your own heart.…

THE MOTHER OF THE WORLDS
My life is no longer mine. I give it to all of you—the whole process of aliveness. Detached from all appearances, it lives itself. You are reborn exactly for that—to organize your own death while still alive. Wise Thanatonaut, I strived for relinquishment. Blissful abandonment to egolessness, where pains are a mere memory of this…

THE HANDFUL
Developing wisdom: an invitation to contemplate how much the maintenance of your life depends on the life of others and on external ressources. As in the past and as will it be in the future. You are interrelated and can’t live on “your own”.
