We already have everything we need.  We cling to our identities of jealousy, anger, and addictions.  They are like clouds blocking the sun, all the time our warmth and brilliance is right there.  We don’t need to change, just be who you are, just look at yourself differently.

With the season changing to spring, we must take time to notice the constancy of inner devotion.  No matter how much is going on outside of oneself, one still reaffirms what is in one’s heart.  Only when we know such constancy will we know that we are succeeding.

Intellectual knowledge exists in and of the brain, which is part of the physical body.  However, insight is a function of the spirit that never goes away, you have the opportunity to cultivate it in an ongoing fashion.  Refined over time insight becomes pure, constant, and unwavering.

Having no fear means not being constrained by things.  Playing a unique tune in life, you stand aloof of all things.  Having no distress means errant thoughts do not arise. If you have no fear or distress, you can accomplish things that are beyond the perception and reach of others. 

Quote: We are responsible for the way we think and feel.
