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

Everything happens for me, not to me.

You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected

War that I have anywhere in my life should stop.

A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth. We have been trying to do it that way for thousands of years. The person who turns inner violence around, the person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is. We are waiting for just one teacher. You're the one.

So, how can we live in joy - and how can we know that we're supposed to live in joy the way people tell us to - when we're believing thoughts that bring on sadness and frustration and anger and alienation and loneliness? When we're believing those thoughts, we think that's the world, rather than what we're believing about the world. We're like lost little children.

When you run in fear, it's square into the wall.
