    The fear of being misjudged belongs to a mechanical part of you that doesn't understand anything, let alone the fear it has of its own tendency to instantly turn dark and defensive should anyone dare question its nearly perfect understanding.

    The smaller the self, the bigger the sense of offense it takes whenever anyone steps up to challenge one of its precious self-images.

    Spiritually speaking, blaming life for revealing a limitation of yours is like getting angry at the water in a swimming pool (into which you just fell) because... You never learned how to swim!...

    Disagree with the opinion of what others would have you believe is true, and they will secretly resent you; but quietly refuse to argue about anything with these same people, and they will openly cry out that you have abandoned them.

    Trying to "fix" the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.

    Resistance to unwanted moments seems intelligent; it 'feels' wise to disagree with whatever we perceive as punishing. But this resistance does not separate us from our suffering; instead, it binds us to it; it perpetuates our identification with an indwelling lower nature that lives to resist, and then reject whatever fails to please its preconceived notion of perfection.

    The more we say, 'later,' to any disturbance that appears within us, the greater grows the illusion that it's profitable to delay bringing what lives in the dark of us into the light of higher self-awareness.

    Whenever you try to protect yourself from any form of fear, it is only fear that you protect. Only fear can make you into what you don't want to be.

    Count the moments you reject on any given day and you have before you the number of ways in which you've refused Life's great invitation to change your relationship with it.

    Look closely and you can see that every spring flower hides within it worlds within worlds. But, as we are now, we see only small and mean objects; we walk through separate worlds seen as either stepping-stones or boulders in our way, and so we sacrifice celestial communion for worldly compensation and its inherent conflict.

    No one succeeds in realizing real freedom who -- when life seems to conspire against this wish -- is turned round by this trouble and starts defending the reasons why he must live as a captive for yet another day.
