Every mechanical psychological reaction is ignorance passing itself off as intelligence.

There is no intelligence in an unconscious, mechanical reaction.

There is no finding liberation through avoidance.

Our habitual reaction in an unwanted moment is inseparable from the painful pattern that the reaction blames and resists.

Something in us always knows what it wants to see happen in the moment before the moment is encountered.

All of our choices are determined by the quality and character of our reaction in any given moment.

The conflict is in the consciousness, not in what the consciousness blames for the conflict.

The only real choice is conscious suffering of the self that blames everything outside of itself for its pain.

No reaction can change the level of consciousness that is responsible for the conflict.

When you learn to fully agree with the truth, you invite it to come into your life so that it's there to tell you what the truth is when a reaction comes up.

No negative reaction will ever solve the source of its suffering.

Looking to a reaction to reconcile the disturbance that produced it is like finding yourself lost in a deep canyon, crying out for help, and then asking your own echo to show you the way out of the canyon.

The consciousness that claims to dislike its experience perpetuates its experience by not wanting it.

God can only heal what we agree to no longer conceal.
