n。　One　needs　to　recollect　oneself　and　return　within。　In　our　way　it’s　a　bination　of　meditation　and　lifestyle。　The　contemplative　life　goes　on　inside　of　oneself。　One　can　do　the　same　thing　with　or　without　recollection。　Contemplation　is　the　most　important　aspect　of　introspection。　It　isn’t　necessary　to　sit　still　all　day　and　watch　one’s　breath。　Every　move；　every　thought；　every　word　can　give　rise　to　understanding　oneself。

This　kind　of　work　on　oneself　will　bring　about　deep　inner　security；　which　is　rooted　in　reality。　Most　people　are　wishing　and　hoping　for　this　kind　of　security；　but　are　not　even　able　to　voice　their　longing。　Living　in　a　myth；　constantly　hoping　or　being　afraid　is　opposed　to　having　inner　strength。　The　feeling　of　security　arises　when　one　sees　reality　inside　of　oneself　and　thereby　the　reality　in　everyone　else　and　es　to　terms　with　it。

The　contemplative　life　is　often　lived　heavy…handedly。　A　certain　lack　of　joy　is　pensated　for　by　being　outgoing。　This　doesn’t　work。　One　should　cultivate　certain　light…heartedness；　but　stay　within　oneself。　There’s　nothing　to　be　worried　or　fearful　about；　nothing　that　is　too　difficult。　So　we　need　a　light…hearted　approach　to　our　own　difficulties　and　those　of　everyone　else；　but　not　exuberance　and　outpouring。　Rather　a　constant　inwardness；　which　contains　a　bit　of　amusement。　This　works　best。　If　one　has　a　sense　of　humor　about　oneself；　it　is　much　easier　to　love　oneself　properly。　It’s　also　much　easier　to　love　everybody　else。
