you’re not who you think you are
Gently I weep for my mind,
caught in its illusion of ownership.
Mind, you’re not who you think you are.
You’re dancing over a pit. Soon you’ll fall through,
and these things you’ve valued and collected will
be left behind. My sweet dear, do you
understand this, and if you do,
how does your food
taste?

As good a man
as I have ever known or am likely to
was killed on this day two years ago. Please
read about his monumental life,
and please send him
your love.
Prayers for the dead
are on the same footing as gifts for the living.
The angel goes in to the dead with a tray of light, bearing a cloth of light,
and says, ‘This is a gift for you from your brother so-and-so,
from your relative so-and-so.” And he delights in
it just as a living man rejoices
in a gift.

maintaining quiet awareness
Maintaining
quiet awareness from
moment to moment, you’ll see
that your enlightenment is not separate
from the ordinary world but one with it.
It doesn’t come from some distance to
get to you and it doesn’t go away
when you stop attending to it.
Make awareness continuous,
though, and it will
surround
you.

channel your energy toward the light
Don’t
think you can attain
total awareness and whole enlightenment
without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania.
Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life
energy toward the light. Without the discipline
to practice them, you will tumble
constantly backward into
darkness.
Here is
the great secret:
Just as high awareness
of the subtle truth is gained through
virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines,
so also is it maintained through these
things. Highly evolved beings
know and respect the
truth of this.
