Thank you for taking the time to read this when you could be mindlessly consuming propaganda.

We live in a time of incredible change and opportunity! It's so sad to see so many of the old systems corrupted and broken. But there is a new spirit being born among us, and it's so inspiring!

🕊 We will certainly stumble and fall many times along the way. It is in a strong commitment that we get up again. It is common to fall into judgement. It can be easy to love some people, especially those who like us or treat us well. But it takes a great commitment to love those who reject us. This commitment will lead us to challenge our beliefs about our judgments and lack of compassion. We must commit to love beyond our own selfish interests of what it will bring us. This is how we will become happy beyond our current paradigm of beliefs. In time we become committed to love for the sheer joy of expressing love. This becomes our commitment.

🕊 Awareness is essential because it is the state of consciousness that allows us to distinguish between the facts and the truth, between the story and the lies in our mind. Know who and what you are and do not get caught up in self-important images of yourself. These self-important images in our minds distort our sense of who we are. False images can lead us to low self-esteem and self-confidence, or they can lead us to be self-centered. If you have an image of who you are, remember that you are not that image in your mind. You are the one who creates and observes the image. Self-awareness that you are not any of the images in your mind is essential to becoming free of self-importance.

🕊 By challenging our own beliefs we can dissolve the lies that cause our suffering. Challenging our own beliefs takes courage because it means the end of our illusion of safety. When other people challenge our own beliefs, we are usually quick to defend them. We defend them even if they cause us suffering. We learn not to defend what we believe, and then to challenge those very beliefs ourselves. In this way we are able to separate truth from illusion.

🕊 Have the discipline to deal with your own mind without someone else motivating you with carrots and sticks. Exercise your own will at the command of your heart, not at the command of an external authority figure. This often means going against the fearful opinions in our minds that tempt us with illusions of punishment and reward. We must also have the discipline to follow our own heart, even when tempted by another person's opinion. This way of living requires disciplined practice.
