Forgiveness is just another name for freedom.
Place only your kindest thoughts on everything you experience today. Meet yourself.
Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realizatio n.
When you stay present with your children, that’s where abundance is. And when you stay out of their business, that’s where everything you deserve in life is. When you’re in presence, there’s no story, and you are abundance. And you come to trust that space so often that you just eventually hang out as that, because there is nothing that can move you out of it, not even a perceived child or a perceived anything.
Sleep just gives the ego a little time out. It has to stay strong in order to be something that it isn't.
The pain shows you what's left to investigate.
I have discovered that in every language and every country I have visited, there are no new stories. They're all recycled. The same stressful thoughts arise in each mind one way or another, sooner or later.
Clarity moves much more efficiently than violence or stress.
Love is who we are without our stories.
There is no mistake in nature.
It's not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It's particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.
Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.
When you're operating on uninvestigated theories of what's going on and you aren't even aware of it, you're in what I call "the dream." Often the dream becomes troubling; sometimes it even turns into a nightmare. At times like these, you may want to test the truth of your theories by doing The Work on them. The Work always leaves you with less of your uncomfortable story. Who would you be without it? How much of your world is made up of unexamined stories? You'll never know until you inquire.
There are no physical problems-only mental ones.
