“Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.”

Freedom and Love arise when you die into the unknown mystery of being.

Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.

All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.

Have you noticed, with whatever quality of love you have experienced, that when true love arises, it opens up both your mind and emotions? It’s an openness to whatever is happening.

What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? If you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose?

You think that enlightenment is something other than what is happening right now. This is your primary mistake.

The mind may accept or deny that you are awareness, but either way it can’t really understand. It cannot comprehend. Thought cannot comprehend what is beyond thought.

The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.

The truth is you can’t try to let go. Trying is the opposite of letting go. To let go is to relinquish trying. To let go is much more like to let be.

You can’t lose what you serve. That’s the secret. What you serve, you can’t lose. What you don’t serve and what you try to hold onto, you can’t hold onto. It’s always slipping out of your fingers.

The most difficult thing for spiritual seekers to do is to stop struggling, striving, seeking, and searching. Why? Because in the absence of struggle you don’t know who you are; you lose your boundaries.

How important it is to be skillful and gentle with ourselves, without becoming disheartened or giving up, but trusting the spiritual path and knowing that it has its own laws and its own dynamics.

A friend of mine helped me find my confidence by trusting the knowledge that I was not alone in writing my first book.

Trusting that the feelings will be delivered, and that the recipient will understand the writer’s intent.

I’ve never been really great at trusting anybody, just because of the way I grew up.

If you go forward in the spirit of the original apostles and followers of Jesus Christ, trusting not in man but in the living God
