No-strings relationships have helped cure me of love addiction. All my life I've been in long-term monogamous relationships. I had to break that pattern by not allowing myself to have a relationship for a year, stopping myself from committing to men. I haven't been celibate. I've had lots of dates and lots of sex, but I haven't been pushing to turn a date into a relationship. This has been a huge thing for me.
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.
The ego is a fascinating monster.
Anytime there's separatism going on. It happens all the time, because the illusion before us is that we are separate. It gives us this sense of egoic identity, which is lovely in its own way.
I'm sorry to myself, for treating me worse than I would anybody else.
the truth of who we are is innate goodness, and the whole journey is really about removing any obstacle or false belief that keeps us from knowing that
Some of the most beautiful things that have happened to me in my life have been things that I couldn't explain.
I rejected the God that was portrayed as masculine and judgmental and cruel at times. The concept of us bring not worthy to receive him is something I used to say every Sunday in church, and eventually I just couldn't say it with any conviction.
I see my body as an instrument, rather than an ornament.
When pain brings you down, don't be silly, don't close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.
I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me.
In one breath, I can say that we are God, but in another I have to say that we aren't deities.
A feeling is not bottomless. once felt all the way through,a great peace greets you there
We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.
