Taking your time.

Whatever the global spiritual industry will tell you, there are no short cuts to awakening. You must release the emotional relationship to your old story so that it no longer influences the experience of life in this moment. This is a long, beautiful but often difficult process as we meet time and time again the conditions of our unhappiness. We must be brave and dedicated and prepared to go past any and every uncomfortable feeling we will experience. This is why true disciples are as rare as hairs on the palm of your hand, but if we let go a little there is a little peace, if we let go a lot there is a lot of peace and if we let go completely, complete peace. Complete peace arising in a mind no longer fighting with the world and everything in it, but a mind now in harmony with itself and so the universe it is part of. This is the pure Dhamma path. A gradual path so that nothing is missed or overlooked, and a process of loving awareness so that you will be happy and then share that happiness with all beings.

May all beings be happy.
