Enter with me then now into that place of peace. Those of you that yet believe you are but a body, then begin there. Begin by allowing the body to relax and know that that’s not something you can try to do. You need only allow it. And as the body relaxes, let your attention recede from the things that you believe are around you. Give up your need to keep an eye on the world. Give up a need to believe that there is something to accomplish and somewhere to go. Let it sink into the depth of your own being. Not looking to see what’s there, but surrendering. Let the breath flow through the body as though something else were breathing it for you. Relax even the activity of the brain, as though it were just another muscle that you could allow to relax. And as you rest and surrender into that inexplicable place of being, the mystery of your existence far beyond what the body could ever touch and know, far beyond what the human emotions are capable of containing, far beyond every thought and every belief and every experience you’ve ever known, there rests the shimmering brilliance of the light of your self. Abide in that. Surrender into that. Know only that. - The Early Years, Choose To See
