yes

Without imagination there is no world. Your conviction that you are conscious of a world is the world. The world you perceive is made of consciousness; what you call matter is consciousness itself. 

You are the space in which it moves, the time in which it lasts, the love that gives it life. 

Cut off imagination and attachment and what remains?

Discover yourself.


—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

The way to arrive and remain within “the force field of the Holy Spirit”, which is one way of describing consciousness – is both very simple and very hard: you’ve got to remain in love, with a foundational yes to every moment. 

You can’t risk walking around with a negative, resentful, gossipy, critical mind, because then you won’t be in the force field. You will not be a usable instrument. 

That’s why Jesus asked us to love. 
It’s that urgent. 
It’s that crucial.


—Richard Rohr
