I am willing to walk toward, and then through, whatever may be seen in the moment as being greater than myself.
One way to measure your own fears is to count the number of personal questions you’ve allowed others to answer for you.
No truly conscious human being sabotages himself – it’s impossible, because it’s contrary to Nature.
Chasing after a pleasure to ease a pain is like running after a breeze to cool you down.
The strength of any weakness within us is the degree to which it is feared.
Love is effortless attention.
Our greatest strength isn’t our ability to imagine brighter days ahead, it is that we are empowered-in every present moment-to effortlessly dismiss any dark thought or feeling that, left unattended, diminishes our happiness.
Listening to your own mind gives you “good reasons” why you should be fearful over unexpected events is just like being friends with someone who thinks it’s funny to find new ways to hurt you!
Disappointment, discouragement, and despair are nothing but the bitter fruit of an unfulfilled expectation allowed to live beyond its time.
You must learn to stop thinking in terms of beginnings and endings, successes and failures, and begin to treat everything in your life as a learning experience instead of a proving one.
Be still; quietly remember the presence of and within yourself, and you will know, without thinking, that while all around you everything changes, within you lives something unchanging.
Don’t believe what the spiritual sharks and clever carnival hustlers tell you about fearless living – they lie.
All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.
On the other side of resistance is the flow.
What world is there for us where our essential nature – and its right to live free – is one and the same?
Walk lightly through life.
It isn’t something of which most of us are aware, but we human beings are ‘marked’ with a certain strange feature, and that is: We want to change.
Every truth ever discovered, each new spiritual light that will ever burn bright has already been seeded in our consciousness.
The path to the inwardly enriched life is not hidden from the man or woman who longs to walk upon it.
If we’re interested in spiritual things, we gradually realize that what we really need is to understand this nature that seems to be a bottomless basket, because there is no peace in it.
