The Way of Liberation: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

All is well, and more well than can be imagined.

We should come to know that there is more Reality and sacredness in a blade of grass than in all of our thoughts and ideas about Reality.

To look within and not find yourself as a self is the beginning of finding yourself as a presence (being).

Realization does not guarantee this revolution; it simply makes it possible.

Suffering is how Life tells you that you are resisting or misperceiving what is real and true.

Suffering occurs when you believe in a thought that is at odds with what is, what was, or what may be.

Contemplation is the art of holding a word or a phrase patiently in the silence and stillness of awareness until it begins to disclose deeper and deeper meanings and understandings.

Inquiry is the art of questioning all of one’s assumptions, beliefs, and interpretations as a means of opening up space in the mind for intuitive wisdom to arise. Once space is opened up, simply rest the question in the stillness of conscious being.

The sacred dimension is not something that you can know through words and ideas any more than you can learn what an apple pie tastes like by eating the recipe.
