Love is who we are without our stories.
The last story: God is everything, God is good.
We don’t attach to things; we attach to our stories about them.
There is no story that is you or that leads to you. Every story leads away from you.
You are what exists before all stories.
Who would you be without your story?
When you’re focused outside and believe that your problem is caused by someone else, rather than by your attachment to the story you’re believing in the moment, then you are your own victim, and the situation appears to be hopeless.
Whenever you think that your needs are not being met, you’re telling the story of a future
The Work always leaves you with less of a story. Who would you be without your story? You never know until you inquire. There is no story that is you or that leads to you. Every story leads away from you. Turn it around; undo it. You are what exists before all stories. You are what remains when the story is understood.
No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.
Gratitude is what we are without a story.
You are the effect of your story, that's all.
Stories are the untested, uninvestigated theories that tell us what all these things mean. We don’t even realize that they’re just theories.
The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.
