All structures are unstable!

As I was walking with a friend through a beautiful nature reserve near Malibu in California, we came upon the ruins of what had been once a country house, destroyed by a fire several decades ago.

As we approached the property, long overgrown with trees and all kinds of magnificent plants, there was a sign by the side of the trail put there by the park authorities.

It read: Danger. All structures are unstable.

I said to my friend, “That’s a profound sutra [sacred scripture].” And we stood there in awe. Once you realize and accept that all structures (forms) are unstable, even the seemingly solid material ones, peace arises within you.

This is because the recognition of the impermanence of all forms awakens you to the dimension of the formless within yourself, that which is beyond death.

-         Excerpt from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.

*****

At #SuswasaSpace, we don’t just talk about peace, we help you experience it.
Through gentle micro-practices, you learn to recognize that even in the middle of your busy life, presence is always available.

And in presence, you find your calm. You find your center.
You find what doesn’t shift, even when everything else does.
