If you are going to be skeptical, then be skeptical about the inevitability of the pain and suffering that comes with struggling against the world.

There is useless struggle, and then there is useful struggle. The proper kind of useful struggle is to peer into yourself so as to discover the truth of yourself.

We are captives of our ideas about what it means to be free.

Freedom cannot be separated from the willingness to accept what life is showing us about ourselves. Without acceptance of revelation there is conflict.

"The antidote is in the venom," which is the same as saying that the peace is in the disturbance.

Being released from the old life cannot be separated from the beginning of new life.

Adding more to yourself, either physically or psychologically, does not change the desire to keep adding more to yourself.

Limitation is not-wanting the natural action of life, which includes natural resistance and the accompanying revelation.

A new relationship with life requires a new relationship with our own consciousness, which already includes the seed that new relationship.

Learn to use the moment of resistance in a new way. Resistance is unfinished business. Humanity has unfinished business with the Divine.
