This is the moment of embarking. All auspicious signs are in place. In the beginning, all things are hopeful. We prepare ourselves to start anew. Though we may be intent on the magnificent journey ahead, all things are contained in this first moment: our optimism, our faith, our resolution.

There is only silence. It's beyond explanation.
It's a mystery.
The finite can never comprehend the infinite.
There are no explanations.
All is well. Consciousness is bliss, love, not as we know it, a million times stronger and that's our real nature. Be your Self.

Do your work then step back.
The only path to serenity.
Can you love people and lead them
without imposing your will?
Can you step back from your own mind
and thus understand all things?

Thinking and talking about the Integral Way
are not the same as practicing it.
If you wish to embody the Tao, stop chattering
and start practicing it.
Relax your body and quiet your senses.
Return your mind to its original clarity.
Forget about being separated from others.

Man can be lonely in the midst of others. But the one who is open to the world, the one who knows how to stay brotherly, the one who is supportive of others, that one, even lonely, is never alone.

In dwelling, live close to the ground,
In thinking, keep to the simple,
In conflict, be fair and generous,
In governing, don’t try to control,
In work, do what you enjoy,
In family life, be completely present.

The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others,
the happier he is.
The more he gives to others,
the wealthier he is.
By not dominating, the Master leads.

Failure is an opportunity.
If you blame someone else,
there is no end to the blame.
Therefore the Master
fulfills her own obligations
and corrects her own mistakes.
She does what she needs to do
and demands nothing of others.
