Inner Journey: LEARN TO LET GO
“To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.”
— Lao Tzu
How do we take something away? As we cultivate higher awareness, we begin to see just how much we have added things that really aren’t there to our picture of reality. Our beliefs, concepts and emotions all add layers of meaning to physical reality, but that meaning exists for us only – it has no objective existence. For example, the word ‘mother’ has a complicated network of meaning for each of us.
Become aware of how your beliefs and emotions colour your perception of different events in your life. See if you can begin to step out of your fabrications to experience the truth and spaciousness of what is.
“When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. … Forgive yourself and move on.”
— Bernie S. Siegel

A Note from the Universe
Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that you always have options.
That your power has remained intact.
And that everything, up until now, has just been practice for the really, really good stuff.

Just like mom makes. I recommend cooking the day before you want to eat it. It is a time-consuming recipe and the taste gets even better after 24 hours in the refrigerator. For extra spice, add a splash of hot sauce.

The Universe
“The universe is represented in an atom, in a moment of time.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
I think I quote Emerson more than any other single person. I like the way he expresses himself so succinctly, yet so profoundly. Great scientists have said this same thing, it is the whole theme of the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know?” When you think of it this way, every atom is precious, every moment is precious.
