Spiritual Understanding

"For those of you who strive for spiritual understanding, some-times it is the striving that gets in your way. What you need to do is to relax into the truth and not take every little piece and examine it separately because when you examine truth separately, you don’t get the whole picture, and sometimes it appears that what you’ve got in your hand is not truth. Using your mind, in a relaxed trusting way, will lift you up into knowledge and wisdom. You don’t have to know why the birds fly south, all you have to know is that they do. No guilt if you don’t understand why.

You know, some of you are healing emotional pain. You can look at any aspect of your life and you can heal it, not by taking it apart but by detaching from it and saying, ‘Alright. That was then, this is now. I do not have to relive that pain. I do not have to find out why I have that pain. I can look at it, recognize it, and let it go.’ Now I am not saying don’t go to therapy… What I am saying is: look at it, understand it, and then let it go.”
