“We do not mature through age. We mature in awareness.”

You are the effect of your story, that’s all.

The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.

What is perfect health? The unraveling of all imagined states of mind.

The ego is terrified of the truth. And the truth is that the ego doesn’t exist.

Love is worth living. Why do you trade life for less?

Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don’t feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.

Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don’t have to like it. It’s just easier if you do.

Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you’re attached to something not true for you.

The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.

We cannot see what we don’t believe.

Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?

I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.

Without an uninvestigated story, there’s only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that’s revealed after the pain and fear are understood.

The world is as you perceive it to be. For me, clarity is a word for beauty. It’s what I am. And when I’m clear, I see only beauty. Nothing else is possible.

My life is a contribution.

There is no such thing as talent, only awareness.

If people in their 20s had more death awareness, would that in fact temper their ambition or drive?

Despair is the price one pays for self-awareness. Look deeply into life, and you’ll always find despair.

What is new is not bisexuality, but rather the widening of our awareness and acceptance of human capacities for sexual love.

Some sort of greater awareness of their own finiteness and what their time on earth really is, and what they really want to do with their lives, could help improve them.

Self-awareness is a supreme gift, a treasure as precious as life.

The first element of change is awareness. You can’t change something unless you know it exists.

This was due to a kind of increased existential awareness that resulted from this confrontation with the death of another. And I think it brought them in touch with their own death, so they began to experience a kind of preciousness to life that comes with an experience of its transiency.
