Sentient being, mother, film producer, talent manager.🌊. NAFO, FELLA, SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦,
Go deeper.
Beneath the surface of thought,
beneath the waves of emotion,
there is something untouched—
something vast and quiet.

That’s where peace lives
The peace beyond thought
is the peace of simply being.

When the war with life ceases, what is left is extraordinary simplicity. There is nothing left to manage, no position to defend, no image to maintain. The heart opens not as a gesture of effort but as a natural flowering. It opens because there is no longer any reason to remain closed....1/

There is a secret voice
An Intelligence,
Heard only in silence
When the agitated self
Has quietened
It is the voice of wisdom
And profound guidance
An intelligence beyond knowledge
That transcends time
That reaches into eternity
Know inner silence
And you will surely hear it.

What is the difference between looking at the world from the perspective of infinite being and looking at it from the finite mind?
It’s the difference between seeing with the mind and seeing through the mind. 1/

The ‘now’ is not merely a moment on the horizontal line of time, but a portal where time and eternity intersect – the doorway through which the separate self is divested of its borrowed limitations and stands revealed as what it has always been.
From finite to the infinite.

What changes is not real, what is real does not change.
Now, what is it in you that does not change?
As long as there is food there is a body and mind.
When the food is stopped, the body dies and the mind dissolves.
But does the observer perish?

Surrender is not weakness, but the ultimate act of courage.
It is an active meeting of life as it is, beyond the mind’s grasping for control and certainty.

Allow any moment to be completely as it is.
Then this moment is sacred.

To rest in the mystery is to live without the false security of conclusions...It is to discover that uncertainty is not a threat, but a doorway. 1/

In reality time and space exist in you, you do not exist in them.
They are modes of perception...
THe mind creates time and space and takes its own creation for reality.
All is here and now, but we do not see it.

When we refuse to let the world harden us — when we choose kindness in the face of cruelty, or laughter in the middle of grief — we are doing something radical. We are proving that humanity still exists.

As fear arises, do nothing
As agitation comes, meet it with stillness
Whatever visitor knocks on the door, welcome it with love, soon it will leave.

At some point, the invitation comes to stop. To stop trying to become and simply allow ourselves to be. Not to abandon the natural movement of growth, but to rest within what already is.1/

See that you are the ever-present background of your always-changing experience. And by ‘ever-present’, I do not mean always-present; I mean eternally present....
For the mind, there is time; for awareness, there is eternity...1/

To live without a center is to live without resistance. It is to live as openness. It is to allow life to move through you like breath — not your breath, but the breath of the infinite.1/

Life is living itself through you. The breath is breathing itself. The impulse to move, to choose, to speak, to create--all of it arises spontaneously out of the vastness of being. 1/

You have enclosed yourself in time and space, squeezed yourself into the span of a lifetime and the volume of a body and thus created the innumerable conflicts of life and death. pleasure and pain, hope and fear.
You cannot be rid of problems without abandoning illusions.

As you go deeper and deeper,
all things — fate, karma, destiny,
cause and effect — dissolve
into one motionless wave.

There is nothing you can do
about anything.
Yet the dance continues,
and you must keep dancing.

The experience of simply being lies in the background of all experience, irrespective of its content, but it also pervades the foreground of experience – your thoughts, feelings, sensations and so on – so it is not necessary to have any agenda whatsoever with the content of your experience.1/

The great danger is to stand motionless on the bank ever in wait for the perfect moment to dive in as the river of your life rushes by.

Suffering arises because the mind, which has been created by the Life Force, is now attempting to direct the Life Force
See Your mistake.
You don’t need to fix Your Life.
You need only get out of Your own Way.
Be Still… Relax.
Realize that Life is already moving “you”.

Consciousness is non-localized.
Consciousness is formless.
Consciousness is all forms.
The misconception of Consciousness being localized--arises with the thought "I am the body-mind".
Identity is just a mask.
Fears and desires perpetuate this illusion.
Slow down.
Awaken....

We spend so much of our lives trying to turn away from sorrow, from the lament that seems to drag us down into the darkness of our humanity. But what if these are not enemies at all? What if grief, sorrow, and despair are doorways — messengers of the soul, inviting us to go deeper?1/

Solitude is in the mind. One might be in the thick of the world and yet maintain perfect serenity of mind; such a person is always in solitude.
Another may stay in the forest but still be unable to control his mind. 1/
