You see most people seek safety and comfort in the outer world. Believing that if only they achieve that or had this relationship worked out maybe things would have been different and they would attain the safety and comfort that they seek.

“If the mind wants to comprehend reality it will have to come out of the past and the future” – Osho
We spent some time discussing in our noonday meditation sessions on Tuesday what does it really mean to pray audaciously. We open the call with the quote above from Osho to really bring us present to the NOW moment. You see we cannot really begin to understand anything, and I mean anything at all, until we allow ourselves to release the baggage, burdens or thoughts that keep us bound to the past of future.
