Liberate yourself from concepts and see the truth with your own eyes. — It exists HERE and NOW; it requires only one thing to see it: openness, freedom — the freedom to be open and not tethered by any ideas, concepts, etc. ... When our mind is tranquil, there will be an occasional pause to its feverish activities, there will be a let-go, and it is only then in the interval between two thoughts that a flash of UNDERSTANDING — understanding, which is not thought — can take place.

We create our own reality. By that, I mean that we create our own happiness or dissatisfaction. The world isn't responsible for our fate. It is up to us to take what comes our way and mold it into something that works for ourselves.

Eh, I thought the thread was to write our own thoughts on the topic. That was just mine. Didn't really think I was simply paraphrasing you.

Too much in life is taken up by worry and bills and politics and blah blah,a steady and slow moment on a river bank alone looking up at the stars will make u laugh and find how silly all the other present "worries" are.
