“I cannot tell you any
spiritual truth that deep within you don’t know already. All I can do
is remind you of what you have forgotten”
“The mind is a superb
instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very
destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use
your mind wrongly-you usually don’t use it at all. It uses you.”
“all the things that truly
matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace – arise from
beyond the mind”
“All true artists, whether
they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner
stillness”
“Emotion arises at the place
where mind and body meet. It is the body’s reaction to your mind – or
you might say, a reflection of your mind in the body”
“It wasn’t through the mind,
through thinking, that the miracle that is life on earth or your body
were created and are being sustained”
“You may not yet be able to
bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but
it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you
can become aware.”
“Love, joy, and peace cannot
flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance”
“Pleasure is always derived
from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within”
“Pain is inevitable as long as
you are identified with your mind”
“Nobody’s life is entirely
free of pain and sorrow. Isn’t it a question of learning to live with
them rather than trying to avoid them?
The greater part of human pain
is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs
your life.
The pain that you create now
is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious
resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some
form of judgment. On the emotional level, it is some form of
negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of
resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how
strongly you are identified with your mind.”
“Where there is anger, there
is always pain underneath”
“The psychological condition
of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It
comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension,
dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of
something that might happen, not of something that is happening
now.”
“an emotion is the body’s
reaction to your mind”
“Power over others is weakness
disguised as strength. True power if within, and it is available to
you now”
“The most common ego
identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social
status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance,
special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief
systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial, religious,
and other collective identifications. None of these is you.”
“Death is a stripping away of
all that is not you. The secret of life is to “die before you die” –
and find that there is no death”
“When you are present, you can
allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it. The
mind in itself is a wonderful tool. Dysfunction sets in when you seek
your self in it and mistake it for who you are” – Page 40
“To be identified with your
mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost
exclusively through memory and anticipation”
“Life is now. There was never
a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be”
“Nothing ever happened in the
past; it happened in the Now. Nothing will ever happen in the future;
it will happen in the Now”
“The quality of your
consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future – which, of
course, can only be experienced as the Now”
“Unease, anxiety, tension,
stress, worry – all forms of fear – are cause by too much future, and
not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness,
bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much
past, and not enough presence”
“To be free of time is to be
free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future
for your fulfillment”
“Be at least as interested in
what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside
right, the outside will fall into place”
“Wherever you are, be there
totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you
unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation,
change it, or accept it totally”
“You cannot find yourself by
going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the
present”
“…words in themselves are
not important. They are not the Truth; they only point to it”
“Don’t get stuck on the level
of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It’s an
abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself”
“At the deepest level of
Being, you are one with all that is”
“…the ultimate purpose of
the world lies not within the world but in the transcendence of the
world”
“You find God the moment you
realize that you don’t need to seek God”
“[Relationships] do not cause
pain and unhappiness. They bring out the pain and unhappiness that is
already in you”
“As far as inner
transformation is concerned, there is nothing you can do about it. You
cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your
partner or anybody else. All you can do is create a space for
transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter”
“Whenever anything negative
happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it, although
you may not see it at the time”
“It seems that most people
need to experience a great deal of suffering before they will
relinquish resistance and accept – before they will forgive.”
“You must have failed deeply
on some level or experienced some deep loss or pain to be drawn to the
spiritual dimension. Or perhaps your very success became empty and
meaningless and so turned out to be a failure”
“Nothing out there will ever
satisfy you except temporarily and superficially, but you may need to
experience many disappointments before you realize that truth”
