What if we didn't need the newest gizmo... the highest high?

slowly, deeply, and consciously?

without chasing after it?
What if happiness is something we CHOOSE...
regardless of our circumstances?

Beyond mind, there is an awareness that is intrinsic,
that is not given to you by the outside, and is not an idea -
and there is no experiment up to now
that has found any center in the brain
which corresponds to awareness.
The whole work of meditation is
to make you aware of all that is "mind"
and disidentify yourself from it.
That very separation is the
greatest revolution that can happen to man.
Now you can do and act on only that
which makes you more joyous, fulfills you,
gives you contentment, makes your life a work of art, a beauty.
But this is possible only if the master in you is awake.
- Osho

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant.
