Psychological suffering is a waste of life. It is pointless, cruel, and above all deceptive. I say deceptive because psychological suffering is an unnecessary pain that we are presently certain is not only necessary, but actually unavoidable . . . a part of real life.

The divided mind invests in forms but there is a life that we are intended to see behind the form. It is space through which forms communicate and it is space through which we are intended to access higher worlds. Only by choosing in favor of the seeming emptiness can authentic fullness b...

Only the mind emptied of its need to seek something outside of itself finds Everlasting Fulfillment.

Only the mind emptied of its painful need to seek something outside of itself finds lasting peace.

You'll never climb out of the hole you find yourself in. Real Life has no holes to fall into. Every hole is a self-produced hole. Your mind actually builds the hole, then looks at it and says, "How did I get in here?"
