If you ever want to float through life as gently as a cloud, you must (learn what it means to) become lighter than "care."

Within the deepest part of us, welling up from the heart of our being, what we represent is the possibility of an eternally new beginning.

Whether to act or not, be concise; don't hesitate! The time is always right when your first wish is to discover the truth of yourself.

The only time little things turn into big things is when we forget the Real things.

The clearer it becomes that it's impossible to "get ahead" of yourself -- physically, psychologically, spiritually -- the more at peace you are with whatever comes your way... because you're starting to realize now that who you are in the moment is the seed of all your moments to come.

The only truly "happy ending" is to know that Real Life is without a beginning.

Nothing infuriates evil as much as being seen for what it is.

Show me the person who has found the terrible joy in surrendering him or herself to each and every moment -- as it is -- and I'll show you someone who has found real Life.

It is in the acceptance of life as it is -- as it is given to us in each moment -- that we find the wholeness, the holiness that is the one true center of this storm called "life."

Thinking about whatever it is that you wish wasn't happening serves only to add mass to your misery.

You can't be thinking about yourself and giving yourself to life at the same time.

The Beloved is I... And its many lovers, just one of its countless faces.

Negative self-images are secret self-love in reverse!

Part 1

Those who dare to try what others only dream of... never fail to discover that real effort is always rewarded.

Part 2

Every real effort changes everything, even when it appears, for the moment, as though nothing has changed.

The only thing we really win in any temporary victory achieved through agreeing to be angry, aggressive, or to otherwise ache... is this guarantee: while we may live to fight another day, we are losing -- little by little -- the possibility of ever knowing the "peace that passes all understanding."

Your judgment of me is powerless to punish or otherwise belittle me without my own mistaken belief that you are the keeper of all things valuable!

To gain sure entrance into that quiet and safe space that lives between thoughts only becomes possible as you lose interest in the familiar sensations of self produced by mechanical self-centered thinking.

In the spiritual quest you may have all the pieces of the puzzle, and still be puzzled. The peace that passes all understanding is more than the sum of its parts.

You can't go on feeling sad without first consenting to stand in the ashes of some past event and then rubbing the memory of it all over yourself.

Resistance is a form of secret interest in whatever is being resisted, which means that resistance is an unseen form of identification -- only in "reverse."
