When I believed my thoughts I suffered.

I could go on and on about how the statements and concepts that used to depress me now bring me joy, but that is not easily understood for people who think the way I used to think and believe what I used to believe.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: "God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen."

You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.

There is no mistake in nature.

It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.

You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.
