“There are no enemies. There are challenges to our creativity. The greatest enemy is the self. Self-defeating activity and self-animosity occur when we do not accept ourselves. We instinctively reject self- confirmed continuity. We will oppose our own success and accomplishment just to break with steadiness. That break is the assertion of ego: and attempt at marking and possessing something in Time and Space. This self-animosity distracts us from the real gift of human life: the capacity to confront and experience self in relationship to the Unknown Infinity of our self.
This Meditation conquers that state of self-animosity and gives you the ability for constant consciousness in support of core self.”
