I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness.
When you look at a tree, you are aware of the tree. When you have a thought or feeling, you are aware of that thought or feeling. When you have a pleasurable or painful experience, you are aware of that experience. These seem to be true and obvious statements. Yet if you look at them very closely, you will find that in a subtle way their very structure contains a fundamental illusion, an illusion which is unavoidable when you use language. Thought and language create an apparent duality and a separate person where there is none.
Only by awakening can you know the true meaning of that word.
When you don't cover up the world with words and labels, a sense of the miraculous returns to your life.
How do you let go of attachment to things? Don't even try. It's impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them.
Accepting means you allow yourself to feel whatever it is you are feeling at that moment...you can't argue with what is. Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.
All the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind.
You cannot find yourself in the past or future. The only place where you can find yourself is in the Now.
When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself.
Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of the consciousness and the burning up of the ego.
A new species is arising on the planet. It is arising now, and you are it!
Being must be felt. It can't be thought.
Nonresistance is the key to the greatest power in the universe.
Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.
