When a thought hurts, that’s the signal that it isn’t true.

Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.

When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.

There's no one who can teach you except yourself. Each of us needs to look at what our belief system really consists of. Look at the concepts that come across your mind and just notice what you believe.

Freedom is our birthright.

Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.

Your nature is truth, and when you oppose it, you don't feel like yourself. Stress never feels as natural as peace does.
