“The past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.”

To love is to recognize yourself in another.

Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion.

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to “die before you die” and find that there is no death.

Love is not selective, just as the light of the sun is not selective. It does not make one person special. It is not exclusive.

Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.

Man made God in his own image.

All problems are illusions of the mind.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.

Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it’s no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.

What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.

This, too, will pass.

All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.

Don’t Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness.

The more you are focused on time – past and future – the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.

Enlightenment doesnt occur from sitting around visualizing images of light, but from integrating the darker aspects of the Self into the conscious personality.
