“You don’t experience anxiety unless you’re attached to a thought that isn’t true for you. It’s that simple.”

Love is action. It’s clear, it’s kind, it’s effortless, and it’s irresistible.

No one has ever been angry at another human being-we’re only angry at our story of them.

Forgiveness is discovering that what you thought happened, didn’t.

Everyone is a mirror image of yourself-your own thinking coming back to you.

It’s good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you’re confused, that you’re in a lie.

The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.

Your suffering is never caused by the person you’re blaming.

You either believe what you think or you question it. There’s no other choice.

You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.

What you’re believing in the moment creates your suffering or your happiness.

This is the time. This is the place. This is the vastness. Right here is paradise. Always. Always.

It doesn´t come later. Everything you´re supposed to do is here right now.

It’s for each of us to look at what we really do believe – what our belief system really consists of.

No-one can disappoint you, only your thoughts about them can.

We suffer only until we realize that we can’t know anything.

Any stressful thought that you have about the planet, for example, shows you where you are stuck, where your energy is being exhausted in not fully meeting life as it is, without conditions.

Try to be in the day. Try to not have today stolen from you by anxiety about yesterday or tomorrow.”

I have a sort of waking nightmare: to get this thing just about completed, and the last day to discover one little part that doesn’t quite fit with the adjacent part.

You can’t use anxiety to deal with your anxiety it only makes you more anxious.

A lot of my fears and anxieties are the fears and anxieties of a six-year-old boy. When I finally confront them, they’re really small.

Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality.

A failed personal experience is just fear and anxiety.

Cares that have entered once in the breast, will have whole possession of the rest.

I got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films: Silent Movie and High Anxiety.
