We begin to not be human, as we've known it, any longer. But to be just creative minds and action, whereas right now we're confused minds and actions, and our environment mirrors that back to us.

Your understanding of another person is limited by what you think you already know. So when you just listen, the person you meet won't match your preconception. The exciting thing is that you usually meet someone much wiser and kinder than you expected. You might also lose track of your ideas about who you are.

The ultimate and dearest - and, again, only - relationship we have is the relationship we have with our thoughts.

How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?

Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with; he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.

It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.

Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?
