"To realize unconditional peace consider this:
The very nature of the world
is duality.
Life and death,
happiness and unhappiness,
attraction and repulsion.
There cannot be one
without the other.
The very nature of the ego
is to seek only one side
of the equation.
The ego wants life
and not death,
wants happiness
and not unhappiness,
attraction and not repulsion.
So as the very nature of the world is duality;
you cannot have one opposite without the other.
And as the very nature of the ego
is to seek pleasure over pain,
you cannot expect it to be different.
But if you accept both.
If you accept that the world
will always exist as a dichotomy
And that the ego,
will always seek only one side
of this dichotomy.
If you accept that both are existing
exactly as they are supposed to,
and that both are incongruent
with one another,
Then what happens?
What happens
is you transcend both.
You relax into a deeper truth.
You realize
what is beyond the world
beyond the ego,
as attention itself.
The nature of which
is oneness.
Peace,
without there being an opposite to peace.
Love
without there being an opposite to love.
Bliss
without there being an opposite to bliss.
The world continues,
the ego continues,
and you rest in the underlying current
of the whole experience
which is conscious bliss.
It is not about changing your world,
nor is it about changing the ego.
It is about allowing both
and experiencing what is unde
eath.
You awaken to the bliss
that is lighting up the whole show
in the first place.
Blessings,
Kip"

Dear Keith and Maura, Do you think it means anything if a guy you like at work happens to give you his cell phone number out of the blue, or if you ask that guy – joking around – if he can give you a ride home from work and he has a big grin on his face? I work at a grocery store ...

How Could This Be About Me?
Dear Keith and Maura, I just found your website and podcasts yesterday and they totally resonate with me. I am a very active youthful 55. I was widowed suddenly at 32 with 2 babies. My soulmate died and I was lost and devastated. I banged around for 10 years raising my boys, working and trying to find a similar loving relationship as I had. I met losers, liars, cheaters, alcoholics, and abusers.
