ADVICE

Allow Your Heart To Break

  • Do not armor your heart against suffering; turning away from pain prevents freedom and disconnects you from spirit.
  • Allow your heart to break while holding a larger awareness so compassion can arise without collapse.
ADVICE

See Multiple Levels Simultaneously

  • Practice perceiving multiple levels at once so ordinary people become also the divine in your awareness.
  • Keep your mind spacious so you respond appropriately without imprisoning others in reduced roles.
ANECDOTE

Burma Meditation Discipline

  • Ram Dass recounts strict breath-focused meditation in a Burmese monastery and the teacher's precise corrections on noting rising or falling breaths.
  • The intensive practice exposed mind patterns like fantasies and taught returning to simple awareness repeatedly.
