We regard loneliness as being alone, as a heartache, something we choose not to invite in. We desire to escape it and find someone to keep us company. Rest in the middle, then we can have a relationship with loneliness, a relaxed relationship that turns our fearful patterns around.
We are not a single character throughout our lives. We change and grow like a flower; our identities unfold and bloom. Like a flower, when we open up our beauty is revealed in our center and like a flower, our special qualities come from our inner source.
When you have no enemy, you will always be victorious. Never underestimate your enemy. Underestimating your enemy is thinking that he is evil, thus you become an enemy yourself. When two forces oppose each other, victory will always go to the one that knows how to yield.
Joy rests on firmness and strength within, manifesting itself outwardly as yielding and gentle. This joyful mood is infectious, and therefore brings success. Truth and strength must dwell in the heart, gentleness reveals itself with social intercourse.
Quote: Truth fears nothing but concealment.
