We are stuck in the same patterns of grasping and fixating, which cause the same thoughts and reactions to occur over and over again.  When we see this, even just for a second, explore these patterns and relax, we will naturally discover the knack of stopping these reoccurrences.

When you feel in the zone or that life is going right, the feeling is not something you can formulate or possess, and if you try to find it, you cannot.  The way it comes to you is by being open and focused on what you are doing and then, as if from nowhere, the feeling comes.

Whether the form is a person or a star, the process is the same.  First, the subtle energy exists. Next it becomes manifest and takes on life.  After a time, the life passes away, but the subtle energy goes on, either returning to the subtle realm, where it remains, or once again attaching to manifest things.

When a relationship or a business is in a period of abundance and prosperity, great caution should be taken to prevent disharmony and overdoing.  People become used to an easy situation, but they have a tendency to neglect the natural law of cause and effect.

Quote: To break a habit, you have to be aware of it, motivated to change, and have a strategy to replace it.
