November 27, 2011, 4:54 pmOur feelings keep being pulled around by people outside, yet there is no end to this.

Being filled with the energy of heaven and earth, to experience that for oneself is our practice. As this practice and concentration becomes riper, whatever comes up, we do not get moved around the slightest.
