You don't get to vote on what is. Have you noticed?

As we watch the world embrace the Olympics in the coming days, let us remember why the modern Olympics came into being: to bring nations closer together, to have the youth of the world compete in sports, rather than fight in war. As long as we believe our own war-driven thoughts, there will always be war, in ourselves, in our families, and in our world. As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.

The best way of leading people is to let them find their own way.

The world will be at war as long as the mind is at war with itself.

I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality.

The only thing you fear is the unreality that you yourself have invented.

If people are living their lives for security and comfort and pleasure, then mind's every waking moment will be plotting those things. That's how it stays identified - as a body, as a you.
