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.

It's good that it hurts. Pain is the signal that you're confused, that you're in a lie.

There is no mistake in nature.

If you realized how beautiful you are, you would fall at your own feet.

The world is what you believe it to be, and it changes as you change.

For me, if somebody tells me to go away, that is an opportunity for me to give them a better life. And that's an opportunity for me to know and realize where not to be. It's an opportunity for me to see what could be better than being with that person I love.

Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
