Self become ego

True Self is being the "I am."  Ego-self is doing what you think you need and want, and doing what you think you ought to do as a compulsion whose authority is outside the Self.   True Self is without this or that as part of its being.  False or ego-self is sustained by dependency on this or that of the world that appears indispensable rather than mere appearance and impermanence.

Miracle and mystery of reality

Mysticism is recognizing and living in awareness of reality as both miracle and mystery.

The Greatest Choice

Either the world is illusion or the true self is illusion.  Choose.

EXPECTATIONS

Expectations are the measure of how far we are from loving.

ECSTASY

Transcendence is immanence become self-aware.  The Self that transcends, i.e., raises itself to itself as Consciousness, is beyond all of its appearances of self.  It is ecstatic, from the Greek, "ek-stasis," meaning "to stand outside of."  So the Self in transcendence stands outside itself, outside those appearances which are only its manifestations.  There is nothing wrong or undesireable about these manifestations, unless we see them as more ourselves than that Self which is the Source of all appearances.

Symmetry of Suffering

Anxiety is cancer of the mind.  Cancer is the anxiety of the body.

Inner Mirror

Consciousness is the face of our souls.
