Often life is a frantic avoidance of the truth.

An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.

The biggest barrier to awakening is the belief that it is something rare.

Cessation of struggle is like free falling through space without a care in the world.

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.

Most people don't get out of childhood, or adolescence, without being wounded for telling the truth. Someone says 'you can't say that' or 'you shouldn't say that' or 'that wasn't appropriate' so most of us human beings have a very deep underlying conditioning that says that just to be who we are is not OK.......Most human beings have an imprinting that if they're real, if they're honest, somebody's not gonna like it. And they won't be able to control their environment if they tell the truth.

Right now you can allow yourself to experience a very simple sense of not knowing - not knowing what or who you are, not knowing what this moment is, not knowing anything. If you give yourself this gift of not knowing and you follow it, a vast spaciousness and mysterious openness dawns within you. Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.
