Self-Mastery
Is the only true government
Government is self-government.
Self-government is the only government that can govern the world. The power of being present inside projects a place where there are no divisions, no conflicts, no boundaries between yourself and the others. Where suffering is, your blindness is its very cause, and where conflicts are, your suffering is their very root, (your healing is their healing and your Integrity will be the salvation of the world.)
Pain can only exist in time
When pain comes, don’ t try to interpret it, don’ t try to change it, or to go beyond or to be free of it. Just be totally aware of it. Pain can only exist in time. If you observe the pain very attentively, the boundaries of time will come to an end. To be aware or attentive means to look or to listen without any interpretation, without any judgement or criticism, that means to look without all the conditionings of the one who is in pain without his fears, his anxieties, his worries, and enter into a totally different vision-dimension.
You believe that planning is life
You only believe in the external world and constantly fill your mind with an ocean of data -‘memories and imagination’. You believe that planning is life. When you are convinced that you did something yesterday, that something happened, and you remember it, it is impossible to believe that nothing really happened and that everything is happening now, here , in this instant.
The past and the future are the same. One is as imaginary as the other
How is it possible to believe that the world is being created now, that there has never been a moment before nor after Now? The pattern you have inside made of thoughts, habits, likes and dislikes is creating your entire past and future…now…in the immensity of the moment….. Our belief system, believing in planning, eludes us that we are meeting and doing the things that we keep stored in our time-organized memory.
The thought that past and future are the same thing
and that both are the projection of this instant,
is a powerful thought capable of suggesting to us
every step of the way what to do …how to act…
