How to Manage Pain
- Men and women have become masters at burying their secret despair.
- There is resistance inherent in creation. All light that touches any form elicits resistance. That resistance cannot be escaped. Our problem is that we do not understand that resistance so that it can be used properly.
- There is a constant communication between the source of creation and the creation.
- Lessons are the evidence of unfinished business. Our mind's explanation of the lesson is not the learning of the lesson.
- The learning of the lesson is when we realize that what we see does not need a description.
- The real consolation is when you see something so clearly that you become speechless. You see something so clearly, that you know it is not thought.
- The part of us that judges us is the creator of the thing that is being judged.
- Something in us is terrified to come to an end to its explanations.
- Identifying with a truthful principle is still identification. It is a conflicted level of consciousness that needs to know.
- We can't know. The mind thinks there is danger in not knowing.
- Thought takes a person's attention away from the whole. Thought focuses on the particular, which is separation.
- There is no reaction without memory.
- The root meaning of the word "patience" is connected to suffering oneself.
- The moment does not create the resistance. The moment plays a role in revealing the resistance.
- If it is you thinking, then you should be able to stop thinking whenever you want. The real discovery is that it is not you thinking.
- Our culture cannot be separated from the consciousness that created it.
- There is pain, but can it serve a different purpose?
