Some Mini Statements

STILLNESS becomes
MOVEMENT –
becomes STILLNESS –
becomes . . .

T’AI CHI CHIH is a useful complement to sitting meditation. Stillness is a natural completion for T’ai Chi Chih practice.

Everything you do is your contribution to Collective-BEING.

The way we carry ourselves, the way in which we move – walking, mowing the lawn, talking, etc. – indicates our current state of personal integration (integrity).

See in a focused way,
this game of ‘becoming’
we Play.

People develop at their own unique rates, each one living an individualized and transforming perspective as “me.”

The non-Integral one takes, while appearing to give, being driven by habitual tendencies – everything is self-motivated.

When true giving is experienced, at that moment, Success and Prosperity are known.

Above and within the activities
of yin-yang …

Pride can provide a certain kind of motivational force. Acting with pride can be useful in many respects, yet is Finally non-useful.

Can pride and Wisdom occupy the same space?

Recognizing potential opportunities for fulfilled creative expression is not possible unless one’s mind is calm. When led by emotionalism (doubt, fear, elation, etc.) little if anything worthwhile can materialize for the individual, because this person is unstable in the way of Integral living.

I recognize that everything that I am prompted to write, by direct inspiration, is something that I need to realize more fully in Self.

Sometimes when hearing another express a ‘spiritual statement’, we wonder if it is the result of their enlightened realization or another’s, though we may recognize that the words are authentically inspired conveyers of the Real.
