How can I fear the unknown? I myself am the unknown. Shall I fear this Being, this Nowness that I am?

People often see just two options -- attachment and rejection. The third option, detachment, is often missed by the mind, which tends to think dualistically. Letting go is the answer.

The sages have said that you are the nondual Self. If you believe them, then stand up, now, and take charge of Your kingdom: Life, the universe, Reality. Let go of your petty personal concerns, and be what you really are.

True spirituality

True spirituality is not all love and light - it undermines the ego, takes you out of your comfort zone. Don't be afraid, for you will return with a new vision, with love and light coming from within you, instead of having to seek it elsewhere.

Psychological time is what divides 'now' from 'now', fragments you into pieces. No matter when you see the clock it's always Now, yet you desire something in the future, and feel relieved when you get it. If you never desired, the relief would always be with you.

Total self-absorption leads to total freedom from self. Be with yourself, accept yourself, re-absorb the self into the Self. You are not 'something else' you can see, like the body or the mind. You are your Self only.

People are always asking "What's next, what's next?" Next is nonexistent. Get rid of this question, and all your other questions are answered.

Love is a concept talked about a lot in spirituality. It seems people are trying to achieve love, or seeking love. But -- is love a difficult thing? Is it rare or uncommon? If so, why?
