Who cares if you're enlightened forever? Can you just get it in this moment, now?

When you become a lover of what is, the war is over.

What I say and what I'm really experiencing - those universes are very different.

Any story that you tell about yourself causes suffering. There is no authentic story.

A lover of what is looks forward to everything: life, death, disease, loss, earthquakes, bombs, anything the mind might be tempted to call 'bad.' Life will bring us everything we need, to show us what we haven't undone yet. Nothing outside ourselves can make us suffer. Except for our unquestioned thoughts, every place is paradise.

Inviting people to inquiry is much more powerful to me than describing my experience... When people hear me tell the story, they often say, "Oh my goodness, I get it. I get it!" But it's not enough.

Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.
