To be here, all you have to do is let go of who you think you are. That's all! And then you realize, I'm here. Here is where thoughts aren't believed. Every time you come here, you are nothing.

Whatever you resist you become. If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering.

Adyashanti
We are birthed into sangha, into sacred community. It is called the world.
Adyashanti
Have you noticed, with whatever quality of love you have experienced, that when true love arises, it opens up both your mind and emotions? It's an openness to whatever is happening.
Adyashanti
