Awaken the Immeasurable Power Within You with BNS Gokugreat (12/28/23)

We don't want to escape our consciousness, we want to transform it. Negative thoughts and feelings don't need to be overcome, they need to be understood.

You cannot resist something and learn about it at the same time. To resist is to separate, to push away.

The problem with our attention is not that there are too many distractions. The problem is that we do not possess our own minds. Until we possess our own attention, anything and anyone owns it when they ask for it.

When you really love something, you attend to it effortlessly. Where your heart is, your mind will be.

The orignal meaning of the word "profit" is "to ascend."

Negative thoughts about how you will be hurting in a time to come ARE what is hurting you now. You are hurting yourself now but don't know it.

Life is not a race to win, but a school for our higher education.

Do not mistake what you do for what you are. When you make that mistake, everything outside of you controls you. When what you are takes precedent, then everything you do serves that aim.

Relationships serve to reveal aspects of ourselves that we would not know otherwise.

Every moment is the revelation of the content of your consciousness. If you are running from the moment, you are running from revelation. There is no such thing as a bad fact about yourself.

Every human being on this Earth is in pain. We just don't know it because the mind is always promising the end of pain just around the corner. It is pain that makes a person toxic.

The only problem that we have with any other human being is what we want from them.

The task is not to get around the problem. The task is to be aware of the consciousness that does not understand the problem.

If you learn something about yourself in the presence of your child, you child will learn something about him or herself.

The orignal meaning of the word "patience" connotes "suffering yourself."

Nothing bad happens to the person who uses the moment to discover the good in it.

There is no such thing as psychological fear or anxiety without negative imagination.

Shyness around other people is a form of judging yourself. Learn to test whether or not the fear is real. The feel is real, the why is a lie. Test it and prove that the why is a lie.
