It's quite an amazing experience to see the same life with and without the thought. We come to see how crazy a thought can make us when we believe it.

Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.

To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don't know anything finer than that.

Sleep just gives the ego a little time out. It has to stay strong in order to be something that it isn't.

When I am perfectly clear, what is is what I want.

For me, the future lives only here in my mind, as thoughts and images, just as the past does, and I love those thoughts and the world that it produces. I am entirely optimistic about the future.

I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.
