"To be loved like that makes all the difference. It does not lessen the terror of the fall, but it gives a new perspective on what that terror means. I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, the one thing powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity." Paul Auster (Moon Palace)

As we sit at the wall of the ego

As we sit at the wall of the ego, and say the mantra, listen to the mantra, hearing the word to the best of our ability, and returning to the word faithfully day by day, this very simple, childlike work, inner work that we come to love, this very simple, childlike work has a transformative effect. It is changing the way the wall is. It changes our ego doesn’t destroy the ego, because we need an ego. But it transforms the way this part of our psyche, the ego, operates.
