“When the insistence of the self genuinely and most gently comes apart, then there’s a wonderful vibrancy that replaces the old insistence of the self. Then there’s a tenderness, the most wonderful colourfulness within that replaces the old.”

* Classic VOD

• The death of the self: what dies is personal insistence
• The energy of achievement no longer exists; all motion to do is stilled
• The mind is purely wonderful; want or need in the heart distorts it
• Tender okayness purifies the heart; cleanness is the absence of want
• Awareness completely relaxed within; pure intimacy and tenderness of being
• The split of consciousness; the crippling use of a teaching; inner conflict
• Freedom of consciousness and the line-up of ducks
