Refusing the urge to rush is the same as accepting an invitation to join yourself to a higher order of reality in which everything is always right where it needs to be in exactly the moment needed.

The "promise" of any pleasure to come is really nothing more or less than the memory of a pleasing sensation imagined as just being ahead of you; in truth, it is projected there -- onto the screen of the mind -- from somewhere out of your past. The power of these wants, and the passion of their pursuit, is all due to the presence of a kind of psychological "special effect" -- a highly attracti...

There is one essential reason why there is so much constant heartache and war on this earth, and why conflict has continued as it has down through the ages. The answer may surprise you. We do not understand our own pain -- our suffering. Six-and-a-half billion human beings live in ignorance of their pain. But this is not to say that we live pain-free. In fact, without exception, human beings...

A true search for the beginning of things must, invariably, lead to the end of things; but the end of things is not the end of the awareness of them...

What’s the biggest lie in the whole world that, not just incidentally, gives birth to its twin that we call “fear?”

Most of us believe to have the "power of choice" means it is our right to decide what we want to pursue and possess in this world – these choices being one and the same as the path to what we imagine will fulfill us now, or in a time to come.

Tell me! Where are you going just now... in the heat of such a hurry? Always in a rush somewhere, to do something and still... nothing real changes. And so one must ask: why do you believe... in distance? Such a strange religion...

What do we have to do to change the balance sheet of our lives so that for every measure of impatience and intolerance there may be at least an equivalent sum of compassion and consideration? With few exceptions, the usual focus of our attention and interactions with others is centered on our self and the fulfillment of its desires. The mindset of this lower consciousness...

With few exceptions, the usual focus of our attention and interactions with others is centered on our self and the fulfillment of its desires. "How do I feel about you?" "What do I want from him?" or "When will she realize that I know best?" In other words, the mindset of the false self, under most circumstances, is: "Me first." By forever placing its own considerations befor...

The self-defeating desires that drag us around belong to a nature that always feels incomplete. Nothing this false self tells us to do does one thing to loosen its hold on us. Fighting with it -- as we have done in the past -- only slays "half the foe," while giving in to it leads nowhere but to more self-recrimination. This torment, and all other suffering associated with its kind, is needles...
