Intention without conviction is like a tree with shallow roots; it is easily up-ended, and ends up bearing no fruit...

In much the same way as a mirror reflects whatever object is brought before it, so our consciousness reflects -- and realizes -- the character or quality of whatever is revealed within it.

Psychological suffering is born of an unseen, “mechanical” resistance to life; it is the dark offspring of an unconscious nature...

There is no new resistance; regardless how “fresh” the nature of a negative state -- be it fear, anger, frustration or regret...

Stillness is the first action of truth. Stillness has no momentum, which means it never runs into anything. On the other hand...

When the winds of fortune blow hot or cold, sweet or sour, don't lean toward one or away from the other...

All negative reactions are creatures rooted in the past; they are dark shadows of old fears and sorrows gone by...

Nothing in the universe can make you relive some painful moment from your past as long as you choose to live in the self-renewing awareness...

There is no struggle in seeing; and certainly, whatever is being observed does not resist being seen...

Never run from any moment you don’t understand, as whatever your conflict may be in that moment with life... (it) will be waiting for you when, and wherever you come to a stop.

The one who awakens is no more troubled over what others may think of him or her than is the sun concerned by people who complain it rises too early, or sets too late!

Resistance recreates -- and then reinstates -- whatever it opposes, including the false sense of self that keeps trying -- in vain -- to free itself from whatever it doesn’t want to see is true about itself!
