Thomas Merton wrote: “All through the Verba Seniorum [Latin for Words of the Elders] we find a repeated insistence on the primacy of love over everything else in the spiritual life: over knowledge, gnosis, asceticism, contemplation, solitude, prayer. Love in fact is the spiritual life, and without it all the other exercises of the spirit, however lofty, are emptied of content and become mere illusions. The more lofty they are, the more dangerous the illusion.”

The mind is always looking for resolution , for an answer, for a conclusion.  But freedom is not found in resolution. Liberation is remembered moment to moment, in the simple realisation to remain open, even in the midst of not knowing. Stop pretending you know.  Stop assuming.  Stop manipulating.  Stop projecting.  Stop thinking you know someone better than they already know them self.  Let it be.  Exactly what it is.  Let them be.  Exactly who they are.  Who made you god…  Anyway?   How does your real energy shift?  Flowing free?  Foundational?  Human kind…human being  Or stuck in airy fairy wiffle waffle compete compare control business suites ?  Competing. Mind attached.  Comparing. Mind attached.  Contesting. Mind attached.  Controlling.
