It’s why the old proverb says, “When student is ready, the teacher appears.”
“By that stage of my growth, I could see that the practice of surrender was actually done in two, very distinct steps: first, you let go of the personal reactions of like and dislike that form inside your mind and heart; and second, with the resultant sense of clarity, you simply look to see what is being asked of you by the situation unfolding in front of you. What would you be doing if you weren’t being influenced by the reactions of like or dislike? Following that deeper guidance will take your life in a very different direction from where your preferences would have led you. That is the clearest I can explain my surrender experiment, and it became the foundation of both my spiritual and worldly life.”

Exclusion of artificial sweeteners from the diet is an absolute must for better health.”

“Alas,” said the mouse, “the world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when at last I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into.” “You only need to change your direction,” said the cat, and ate it up.”

“On registering at her center she evaluates a patient’s starting level by how many times he or she can stand up and sit down from a straight-backed chair in 30 seconds. The average is standing up nine to 14 times. More is obviously better. Less than nine times needs work.”
