Some children are afraid to die because their parents are afraid to die. My own children have come to understand that it’s totally okay with me if they die. They don’t have to live for my sake.
The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious.
To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don’t know anything finer than that.
And as long as we believe what we believe-until that is questioned-there’s no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.
There’s no one who can teach you except yourself. Each of us needs to look at what our belief system really consists of. Look at the concepts that come across your mind and just notice what you believe.
For me, if somebody tells me to go away, that is an opportunity: for me to give the person a better life, to realize where not to be, and to see what could be even better than being with that person I love.
Mind is everything. There’s nothing that it’s not.
My happiness isn’t dependent on anyone else’s.
When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That’s the only freedom.
Thinking that what you want equals what’s best for you is a dead end.
Mind changes, and as a result, the world changes. A clear mind heals everything that needs to be healed.
I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.
Nothing belongs to me. Everything comes and goes. Serenity is an open door.
Trauma is nothing more than being stuck in what you believe.
I realized that it’s insane to oppose it. When I argue with reality, I lose-but only 100% of the time. How do I know that the wind should blow? It’s blowing!
It’s not the darkness that people fear; it’s what they imagine into the darkness.
Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without condition.
Sleep just gives the ego a little time out. It has to stay strong in order to be something that it isn’t.
When I believed my thoughts I suffered.
How do you react when you think you need people’s love? Do you become a slave for their approval?
