- When you try to escape from a moment, you ensure that you will meet that same kind of moment again and again.
- Your interior work takes a real turn when you realize you can't avoid yourself.
- The acronym "TOBADCEOM" from the doctor story stands for "Taken Over By A Different Cause Every Other Moment."
- Every moment of your life your mind is given over to whatever it falls on in that moment.
- We do not free ourselves from what we don't want through resistance. Rather, resistance binds us to what we don't want.
- Nobody causes you to go through anything. You bring to each moment a part of you that is drawn to that moment and makes that moment its cause.
- When are you going to stop spending your time wishing that you were not in the moment you are in?
- The root cause that the mind is almost always busy working at is to avoid any kind of suffering.
- Each cause that you become engaged in comes with a sense of self that was already formed before the condition stirred it to the surface.
- Every moment of being taken over by a different cause is the same as being taken over by a different 'i' that you know nothing about. That 'i' disappears the moment that the next cause comes in.
- Human consciousness never stops creating a cause for itself, that it will then try to free itself from in a time to come.
- As long as we invest ourselves in a different cause every moment of our life, then it will be impossible to awaken.
- You need something that will anchor you in place, so that you are not moved by the wind of each different cause that blows by. Catch yourself being taken over.
- There already exists an 'I' that is more permanent than all of the temporary 'i's' that appear only with the corresponding condition.
- Real meditation is inseparable from your awareness of the moment.
