People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.

Your parents are your projection-nothing more.

It's not the darkness that people fear; it's what they imagine into the darkness.

When we believe in our thoughts, when we tell ourselves a story, we suffer. 'My husband doesn't respect me.' 'I should be thinner.' Those are stories. When there's no story, there's no suffering.

The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.

Whatever it takes for you to find your freedom, that's what you've lived.

The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, "Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think."
