The Secret of Your Immortal Self
- The spiritual path is the path of negation, not affirmation. You must lose your life in order to gain it.
- Immortality is the gradual realization that you are already whole.
- We were raised to believe that our worth is based upon how others see us.
- We were raised to believe that there should never be any disturbances.
- When the observer and the observed are not separate for us, we are a participant in creation, rather than the observer wanting something from the observed.
- Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die.
- The things we imagine will complete us are the source of pain, not contentment.
- Awareness of a pattern is the beginning of the end of it. The light enters into the darkness, and the darkness is transformed.
- We struggle not with flesh and blood, but with powers and principalities.
- No one side of an opposite can change the other side of the opposite.
- If the world were capable of quelling the ache, it would have done so by now.
- Transformation involves resistance. Resistance is built into creation.
- When you understand the nature of the resistance, then it serves a higher purpose rather than being a punishment. Then the pain of resistance takes on a completely new meaning.
- There is joy hidden in sorrow when a person begins to use it properly.
- The world worships fear by professing how much it doesn't want what it fears.
