Stillness is the first action of truth. Stillness has no momentum, which means it can never run into anything. On the other hand, since all movement has its beginning in stillness, anything that moves into it...is found to have simply returned to its source.

Negative reactions create chains. All chains are made by machines. To see that you are not a machine instantly releases you from becoming identified with any painful chain reaction.

Negative imagination is the preferred intoxicant of an unconscious nature that loves to first pour, and then... to drink, as deeply as possible, from its own dark cup of troubled dreams!

The sure way to guarantee that those painful voices in your head will continue to disturb you... is to keep listening to what they have to say about your life!

No condition, in and of itself, is ever the cause of psychological stress, fear, or regret; suffering of this kind is inherent in an unseen, unconscious level of "self" that resists changing conditions because it is incapable of changing with them.

Allowing any part of (your) self to act in such a way as to deny you a new awareness of yourself – whatever its quality – is the same as refusing your right to realize the limitless depth and breadth of your True Self.
