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.

Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.

Asking the questions - that's what changes lives. Every cell in your body is awake with inquiry. And you cannot believe the old thoughts again.

The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.

We've been looking outside us for our own peace. We've been looking in the wrong direction.

Every mind deserves to be free.

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