“Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.”

Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself ‘Is the statement true or false in my experience?’

The whole purpose of existence is to bring love into existence where it is needed.

To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.

You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less – waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.

You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.

Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.

Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognised by the person ready to discover it.

We can rarely see things from the point of view of another person because we look at the facts through the screen of an impression or an interest which distorts our view; and then there are accusations, quarrels and misunderstandin.

You think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.

The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.

Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.

Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.

Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can’t make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love.

Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.

Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.

WE HAVE SEEN that hunger and breathing are desires of the body. There are other desires that are not of the body, but again man seldom pauses to observe these desires in himself.

Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn’t exist.

If you love anything in this world more than God, you will crush that object under the weight of your expectations.

I get inspiration from literally everything and anything.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all. And if you do have to say it, make it really funny so I can screenshot it and save it for later.

Anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible… Because I had no power to make things happen outside of me in the objective world.

Intelligent people are always on the unpopular side of anything.

Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen.

You know Mildred would never do anything wrong or foolish. I reflected a little sadly that this was only too true and hoped I did not appear too much that kind of person to others. Virtue is an excellent thing and we should all strive after it, but it can sometimes be a little depressing.
