The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.”

“Not being tense but ready.
Not thinking but not dreaming.
Not being set but flexible.

It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.”

Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”
