Self-cultivation takes us just as we are with our confusion and our sanity, it gives us time alone with ourselves.  In time it teaches us to accept who we are, as we are, an unconditional friendliness with ourselves, a simple direct relationship with the way we are.

Both imagination and dreams are similar activities.  In dreams there is a total suspension of rationality, and consciousness, so there is little or no direction possible.  Imagination is a tool we can use to make our lives better, different, and creative.  By cooperating with it, we can achieve things “we never dreamed possible”.

When we are all in harmony with the natural laws we flourish together and, being content with the way things are, brings us constant energy.  View all things with compassion, while practicing humility, this brings you energy and wisdom and this will help you find peace.

In difficult times, if you are unable to exert influence because the fundamentals are all wrong and fruitful activity is rendered impossible, do not accept dazzling offers to take part in public activity.  Hide your work and withdraw into seclusion and wait for the times to change.

Quote: Imagination can create bridges, dreams can deceive.
