This fits loosely into the thread because of The Appeal posted earlier.
I have no opinion on it.

-I am here. You are here with me. The miracle, trust in your strength to see it. Trust yourself in the strength of the miracle to take over when you feel you want to choose.
-Find the confidence to build your life the way you want.
-Share your spiritual imprint and complete the moment with love.
-Feel Free "yourself " from worries and live the true joy of life.
-The durability of a feeling transforms through practice not through planning.
-The secret is to trust. Take the first step. The time is now.

Martin Wells ‘Sitting In the Stillness’ Interview by Iain McNay.

Martin Wells ‘Sitting In the Stillness’ Interview by Iain McNay.
Martin is author of the book ‘Sitting In the Stillness’ and works as a psychotherapist in the British NHS. In his late teens he started to be drawn to Eastern philosophy and meditation. He began reading Jung avidly and started on an unconscious search to change his core belief. After years of practising as a therapist and meditation teacher he was becoming increasingly jaded when he went to a lecture by Jean-Marc Mantel. Almost immediately he had the experience of everything falling away, of all his searching coming to an end, and a feeling of peace and fulfilment and stillness. This experience started a completely new way of relating to life, and his work.

Ive bumped this as in our insane world this is sanity.
We are not the identification with the story of me.
All the challenges of this world are brought about by ego saying
"This should not be" I have to protest --march -- do the right thing without even realising that the opposition march, is marching for exactly the same reasons -- self identification with a group. I me and mine.
We are right , they are wrong.

then, when you have tired of creating & destroying,

Let go all the way

re membering, real izing in silence

the unspeakable truth beyond dreams

"Gate Gate Pāragate Pārasamgate Bodhi Svāhā"

(literally "Gone gone, gone beyond, gone utterly beyond, Enlightenment hail!")

- From Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya, can be translated as "The

of the Perfection of Wisdom".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Sutra

transcending the infinity of space, forms and time

Let go of attachments,

Let go of identification with body and mind,

Arrive Home without travelling,

Realize Freedom without thinking,

Awaken to Reality without doing

Yes

So much so that, in essence, there was no letting go to begin with.

Possessions possess, Neti neti
