Through forgiveness, Love is found.

Through Love, forgiveness is found.

Empty of all things, you are the source of both.

I cannot turn this awareness off. I cannot push it, pull it, eat it, burn it, tickle it, change it, frighten it, surprise it, cut it, turn up before it, arrive after it, seduce it, cover it in marmalade, drop it, pick it up, fall over it, slap it with a banana, hurry it along, measure it, define it, fold it, hold it or roll it down a hill. I can do nothing with it, but nothing happens without it.

You are Everybody and Everything at all times, even in that state where time neither inhales nor exhales.

In my humble experience, it can be said that karma is the definition of the individual. Once the head drops into the heart, and you step out of the individual experience, even for a moment, you see there is no individual, so there is no karma.

Your mind is dividing you into many parts or identities. One identity is called 'I'm not sure'. Another is 'my difficulty.' There is also the identity which 'knows my difficulty'. On top of these, you say, 'another part of my ego.' How many parts of you are there? I understand this way of thinking, but it will pass. Each of these identities is a thought. All thoughts come and go. The mind is making a commentary to keep you standing at the crossroads, wondering which way to go.
