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

Sadness isn't a natural response.

Love is worth living. Why do you trade life for less?

A lover of what is looks forward to everything: life, death, disease, loss, earthquakes, bombs, anything the mind might be tempted to call 'bad.' Life will bring us everything we need, to show us what we haven't undone yet. Nothing outside ourselves can make us suffer. Except for our unquestioned thoughts, every place is paradise.

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.

The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
