All delusions begin in the mind. All delusions are based on various ways we’re talking to ourselves and then believing what we are saying.

What you run away from owns you. You are the dog on a leash. The most you can do is to tug against the leash.

As you peel it back, in the heart of nothing, that is love. You are what you are seeking. Life is a set up so that each of us can actually see in ourselves the truth for ourselves. What gets taken away are all the exterior means we thought we wanted love to come to us. You have the choice to notice the perfect set up to see love is exactly what you are.

When we really start to take a look at who we think we are... we start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are. [And yet] it is astounding how completely we humans define ourselves by the content of our minds, feelings, and history.

In true meditation the emphasis is on being awareness; not on being aware of objects, but on resting as primordial awareness itself. Primordial awareness is the source in which all objects arise and subside. As you gently relax into awareness, into listening, the mind's compulsive contraction around objects will fade. Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

Thoughts in your head are really no different than the sound of a bird outside. It is just that you decide that they are more or less relevant.

There's a great space in which this moment takes place. There's a great silence that is listening to the thoughts.
