Camano Island, WA (USA) - March 2007

Here to "be" what you mean deep. Being a teacher, worker, painter, engineer, etc., is secondary. Say "I Am ..." without adding more. That "I Am" is the Being to whom I refer.
Yes ... in this mode of life (in the material world) things keep changing. The present moment becomes constant. It transforms our body, the emotions within us are like the surface of the sea, the circumstances are constantly changing, interpersonal relationships are constantly changing, our minds constantly projecting images, visit the past, imagine the future.

All this happens in the present moment ... where everything is transformed.

If you are fully aware of the present moment and are able to notice all the things I listed first, then experiments lightness, ease, simplicity in everything you do.

If you start to feel some signs of unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and the going gets tough, it means that six out of the present moment. He returned immediately!

This does not mean ignore your "problems" and not solve them. Quite the contrary.

Are in the Now:

Forgiveness does not mean to say "I forgive you" but it is the knowledge that nothing you have done or what you have done to others, has never damaged in any way the essence of your or his true self.

Definitely hurt your pride, hurt you. Or remember with regret and repentance for what you did to someone else and you have a guilty feeling inside. Well, everything belongs to the world of forms in which everything is transformed. It does not belong to what we are, to shape the world without which we belong. Not only can forgive you trying to see the positive side of the other. This "forgiveness" is just another label to attach to the situation, we feel better thinking that "I have forgiven."

You do not need to forgive. Given the fact that whatever happened, he never touched the depths of our true self, the action of forgiveness has already happened ...

Forgiveness is: to allow them to be what it is.

Gratitude: gratitude is not shown saying "thank you". However, it is a feeling and does not depend on the outcome of things, it depends on circumstances such as we have. Gratitude arises in the same way that emerges forgiveness. At a time when we forgive ourselves and the world around us to be as it is, there we feel gratitude. Gratitude is the key to abundance. The abundance is the result.

Every action consecrated herself (without wanting to get any other purpose that the very purpose of the action) is itself flooded with gratitude. Try it yourself! Pay attention to your every move, rather than what you get with that movement and you will not need further explanation! ...

Gratitude is: what is forgiveness, which in turn allows you to be what it is.

Peace: Who is the one who does not seek peace? ... I think all right? In the same way they are out of gratitude and forgiveness, peace also comes out.

I've heard many (including myself) "if only this or that happen then I would be really at peace."

Peace and joy seem to be related to the other but there is a subtle difference: we can not be happy if something goes "wrong" in our life situation, but we can be at peace. If we consider the world of form with his stirring, watching, then we feel a peace that comes from the depths of our being. That peace has talked a lit two thousand years ago: "... the peace that passes all human understanding ..."

Peace comes from: Gratitude, which in turn is what is forgiveness, which in turn allows you to be what it is.

Love: I'amore is disinterested, so do not look for the fruit of action. The result comes as a result of love and the fruit grows on its own.

Interpersonal relationships based on superficial, ie impermanent world, are usually between two egos, and as two masks, you know. They can not know the true "I" of the other.

When you feel you are above or below someone else, that's a question of your false identity, false ego, ego.

When you look at each other from within your being, then you can truly love. You know that whatever you have done is originated from unconsciousness of others, inability to decide for the other as guided by the false ego and not from the Being who he is.

Love is Peace is surrounded from the gratitude that forgiveness is "allow things and circumstances being what they are, as they are."

Happiness: Are you happy without a reason outside.

They are happier because they get something material? ... What seems happy after having a nice present or have achieved a desired goal is actually part of the continuous cycle of "incavolature" and enjoyments that are "normal" in the world of impermanent forms.

Happiness arises from within, is what comes to us when we are doing a pleasant activity that we do it for free. In doing that thing to flood us with happiness in our action.

Happiness is: Love is itself surrounded by the peace that comes from gratitude, forgiveness that allows things to be as they are now!

Take action to resolve what would you change, but after that everything is as it is now allowed.

It is better to act motivated by gratitude, forgiveness, peace, love, happiness is not out of anger, discontent, complaining, feeling a victim.

Look at things, observed in, let me inside and it is, and then changes the outside ... so simple.

A hug.
