“The sixth doorway is the Doorway of Vision. This relates to seeing with the eyes of love and corresponds to the energy center located in the third eye area of our forehead. When this doorway is open, we’re more able to see life through love instead of differences.”

Like your weight set-point, which keeps the scale hovering around the same number, your happiness set-point will remain the same unless you make a concerted effort to change it.

And finally, there’s the seventh doorway, the Doorway of Oneness, which corresponds to the crown center, located at the top of the head. This doorway has to do with feeling whole and connected to all of life, connected to spirit.

Bring happiness to your everyday experiences rather than try to extract happiness from them and however life looks, you’ll be happy.

Practice experiencing your feelings directly and completely by observing them as they move through your mind and body and then letting them go.

Everything we think and feel is creating our future. If you’re worried or in fear, then you’re bringing more of that into your life throughout the day.

I’ve found the best thing to do is to really be loving, kind, forgiving and compassionate with yourself. There are some wonderful practices for that which I talk about in Love For No Reason.

The challenges we’ve had personally and globally have been the catalysts needed to let go of old ways of being that aren’t the vibration of love.

What would our lives be like if we could all be happy no matter what?

Researchers tell us that we have about sixty thousand thoughts a day.

When people are deeply happy they bring a sense of purpose with them wherever they go, whatever circumstances they are in. So if they’re changing the oil in the car, they bring a sense of joyful purpose even to that.

Put your attention on happiness by practicing the Happiness Habits each day.

The second doorway has to do with vitality. It’s about feeling alive, vital, and feeling the life-force flow through us. This doorway is also known as the creativity center and it houses a great sense of aliveness in it.

I wanted to know if we could live in that state of love, not just every so often, but as an ongoing reality. The answer is YES. There are people who are doing just that, and I wanted to share with the world how they’re consistently living in a state of love.

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.

I’ve come to see that I have two choices in how I approach change: I can either resist change or be open to what’s ahead and feel the peace that “all is well in the universe.” When I lean into the latter, I feel excited about the future.

Go for the sense of inner joy, of inner peace, of inner vision first and then all the other things from the outside appear.

The solution to your problem is to see who has it.

Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one’s Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.

If I see everything in gray, and in gray all the colors which I experience and which I would like to reproduce, then why should I use any other color?

Apart from the body does the world exist? Has anyone seen the world without the body?

The Tao is in all things, in their divisions and their fullness. What I dislike about divisions is that they multiply, and what i dislike about multiplication is that it makes people want to hold fast to it. So people go out and forget to return, seeing little more than ghosts.

Seeing God without seeing the Self, one sees only mental image. Only he who has seen Himself has seen God, since he has lost individuality, and now sees nothing but God.

For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.

A small laugh startled me and I looked over to see her actually smiling. Making her do that more often was a new goal.
