The silence inside of you is the sound of your knowledge collapsing. Remember, it is you who said, 'I want to be free.'

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.

It is not the pursuit of greater and greater states of happiness and bliss that leads to enlightenment, but the yearning for Reality and the rabid dissatisfaction with living anything less than a fully authentic life.

All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.

When you get out of the driver's seat, you find that life can drive itself, that actually life has always been driving itself. When you get out of the driver's seat, it can drive itself so much easier-it can flow in ways you never imagined. Life becomes almost magical. The illusion of the “me” is no longer in the way. Life begins to flow, and you never know where it will take you.

We realize--often quite suddenly--that our sense of self, which has been formed and constructed out of our ideas, beliefs and images, is not really who we are. It doesn't define us, it has no center.
