- The meaning of the passage "Sell all and follow me" pertains to selling the psychological possessions of your past and your future.
- The hope in a time to come in which you will be free is the very prison you are in now.
- If you complete the moment, then you complete yourself. If you don't complete the moment, then you are tied to an incomplete nature seeking to complete itself in a time to come.
- The divided consciousness places a demand on the moment prior to the moment appearing.
- Struggling with something always comes with the feeling that something is opposing you. Something is opposing what you want.
- Psychological struggles are the attempt to regain a freedom that you believe you previously possessed, but that has now been taken from you. The struggle to be free is the captivity.
- Something within our consciousness creates the very conditions that it then blames for taking away its freedom.
- You cannot separate unconscious resistance from an insistance that the moment happens a specific way in order for you to be free.
- Anxiety arises when there is identification with imagination about a time to come that might clash with the insistance about how life should unfold and how people should behave.
- The only reason why you snap at another person is because of the perception that he or she is threatening to take away your freedom.
- In order for there to be a psychological struggle, there must be a "you" in it. It is "you" that picks up the struggle.
- Whenever we can remember, we can command whatever we are struggling with to tell us the truth about its nature.
- Every identification that we harbor becomes resistance to a condition at some point in time.
- Just set the struggle down, and realize that you are already free by seeing that there cannot be a struggle without a "you" that believes it is not free.
- Any struggle to be free is also the creation of psychological time, which includes a "you" that only thinks about itself.
- The fear of not being prepared is connected to insistance that others see you as someone who always knows what he or she is doing.
