Today there is so little time for meditation and so much agitation ‘agitation in the air’ that simply developing peace of mind, inner honesty, and self-trust becomes a big task.

Any progress we can make in this direction is important, for it helps us know what we are doing in the most fundamental way.

If we begin with mindfulness and move beyond just watching, we can come in contact with awareness beyond doer and watcher.

This awareness is flexible and penetrating, uplifting and protecting.

It leads invariably in wholesome directions. As we stop spinning the web of mind, we can protect intelligence and energy from loss and discover mind’s magical operations.
