If you realized how beautiful you are, you would fall at your own feet.
What we really believe is what we manifest. What we believe, we see.
It is easy to be swept away by some overwhelming feeling, so it’s helpful to remember that any stressful feeling is like a compassionate alarm clock that says, “You’re caught in the dream.” Depression, pain, and fear are gifts that say, “Sweetheart, take a look at your thinking right now. You’re living in a story that isn’t true for you.
Isn’t it marvelous to discover that you’re the one you’ve been waiting for? That you are your own freedom?
Life is so simple: We walk; we sit; we lie horizontal. That’s about it. Everything else is a story about what’s going on while we’re doing it.
You’re just suffering from the belief that there’s something missing from your life. In reality, you always have what you need.
The world is your perception of it. Inside and outside always match – they’re reflections of each other. The world is a mirror image of your mind.
You’re either attaching to your thoughts or inquiring. There’s no other choice.
If you think he’s supposed to be different from what he is, you don’t love him. In that moment you love who he’s going to be when you’re through manipulating him. He is a throwaway until he matches your image of him.
I don’t know what’s best for me or you or the world. I don’t try to impose my will on you or on anyone else. I don’t want to change you or improve you or convert you or help you or heal you. I just welcome things as they come and go. That’s true love. The best way of leading people is to let them find their own way.
There’s only one thing harder than accepting this, and that is not accepting it.
I’ve always been just me, but I was the last to know that it was all right.
Because if it hurts, it’s your thinking that’s hurting you.
Everyone is doing his job. No one is more valuable than another. The things in the world that we think are so terrible are actually great teachers. There’s no mistake, and there’s nothing lacking. We’re always going to get what we need, not what we think we need. Then we come to see that what we need is not only what we have, it’s what we want. Then we come to want only what is. That way we always succeed, whatever happens.
And when people die, it’s so wonderful that they never come back to tell you.
God’s will and your will are the same, whether you notice it or not. There’s no mistake in the universe. It’s not possible to have the concept “mistake” unless you’re comparing what is with what isn’t. Without the story in your mind, it’s all perfect. No mistake.
No one will ever understand you. Realizing this is freedom. No one will ever understand you – not once, not ever. Even at our most understanding, we can only understand our story of who you are. There’s no understanding here except your own.
Love the world as your self; then you can care for all things.
Dying is everything they were looking for in life.
Whenever you mentally oppose what is, you’re going to experience sadness and apparent separation. There’s no sadness without a story. What is is. You are it.
