Lighting the potential: beauty, love, service
Existence has circumstances that end, but purpose has no end. Life's events—beauty, service, love—ignite the inborn potential. The work is to turn intelligence inward, be still, and let thought fall away so presence can be realised.
'Love alone communicates; devices only accelerate entertainment.'
'Death is like deep dreamless sleep—no subject, no object — nothing to fear.'
