Mind is everything. There's nothing that it's not.

Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.

When we're not defending and justifying, and we're being very still, our answers can and do shock us.

Actually, I can't take credit for any of my decisions. I noticed one day that all my decisions were making themselves, and always at the right time. I haven't had to make one decision since then. They are always made for me, and they come from the wisdom that is in us all. I trust that wisdom completely. That trust itself was a decision made for me as inquiry cleared my mind. No decision, no fear.

An uncomfortable feeling is not an enemy. It's a gift that says, "Get honest; inquire." We reach out for alcohol, or television, or credit cards, so we can focus out there and not have to look at the feeling. And that's as it should be, because in our innocence we haven't known how. So now what we can do is reach out for a paper and a pencil, write thought down, and investigate.

Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it's true.

The world begins with what we believe.
