Today we’ll focus on stillness. As the world becomes increasingly noisy and turbulent in so many ways, we must remember that at the center of our very being, stillness and steadiness always exist.

We’ll look at what both Edgar Cayce and Tibetan Buddhist master Chogyam Trungpa had to...

Today’s material focuses on the triune formula given in the Cayce readings, that the spirit is the life, the mind is the builder, the physical is the result.

Thich Nhat Hanh says that “God is on earth, inside every living being. What we call the divine is none other than the energy of awakening, of peace, of understanding, and of love, which is to be found, not only in every human being, but in every species on earth.” Separateness is an illusion.
