You cannot feel someone else’s Being except through your own.
- This is the beginning of the realization of oneness, which is love.
- At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is.
- Being in touch with your inner body creates a clear space of no-mind within which the relationship can flower.
After the initial euphoria has passed, there is so much unhappiness, so much pain in intimate relationships.
- They do not cause pain and unhappiness. They bring out the pain and unhappiness that is already in you.
True relationship becomes possible only when there is an awareness of Being.
- Coming from Being, you will perceive another person’s body and mind as just a screen, behind which you can feel their true reality, as you feel yours.
- So, when confronted with someone else’s suffering or unconscious behavior, stay present and in touch with Being.
- Thus you are able to look beyond the form and feel the other person’s radiant and pure Being through your own.
At the level of Being, all suffering is recognized as an illusion. Suffering is due to identification with form.
- Miracles of healing sometimes occur through this realization, by awakening Being-consciousness in other – if they are ready.
- To have deep empathy for the suffering of another being certainly requires a high degree of consciousness but represents only one side of compassion. It is not complete.
- True compassion goes beyond empathy or sympathy.
- It does not happen until sadness merges with joy,

Be the observing presence behind your thoughts and emotions.
- The art of inner-body awareness demonstrates the meaning of presence.
- As soon as you are able to access the power of the Now, and thereby break through your conditioned past, you will have a choice.
Unity between the observer and the observed: A different way of looking causes the observed phenomena to behave differently.
- Don’t confuse cause and effect.
- Your primary task is not to seek salvation through creating a better world, but to awaken out of identification with form.
You become the “light of the world,” an emanation of pure consciousness.
- And so you eliminate suffering on the level of cause.
- You eliminate unconsciousness from the world.
- Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate, whether they are conscious of it or not.
