Live Without it

You Can Live Without It

The phenomenal world is much more fascinating and juicy when we stop
grasping…wanting…craving. This is because the mind is present, the sense wide
open, and the conceptual mind relaxed. We make tremendous space in our mind when
we let go of this “can’t live without” desperation. And, when we discover the
richness and contentment within our own mind, we find an answer to the lifelong
question, “Where do I find satisfaction and contentment?”
