“If you don’t like your world, question your thoughts about it.”

Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.

Until you can love what is – everything, including the apparent violence and craziness – you’re separate from the world, and you’ll see it as dangerous and frightening.

When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.

It’s not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It’s particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.

It’s not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace.

Nothing comes ahead of its time, and nothing ever happened that didn’t need to happen.

Until the mind is open, the heart stays closed. The open mind is the key to the open heart.

When you discover that all happiness is inside you, the wanting and needing are over, and life gets very exciting.

When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives.

To argue with reality is to argue with God.

Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that’s the end of suffering.

For me, everything is God. Everything and everyone. So it was just, God needs me now, now, now.

Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.

Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.

I see the goodness and beauty in everyone, and everything is a gift given for me and for all of us. If you don’t love it, question your mind until you do.

To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
