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

The Work is merely four questions; it's not even a thing. It has no motive, no strings. It's nothing without your answers. These four questions will join any program you've got and enhance it. Any religion you have - they'll enhance it. If you have no religion, they will bring you joy. And they'll burn up anything that isn't true for you. They'll burn through to the reality that has always been waiting.

Arguing with reality it like trying to teach a cat to bark.

Questioning our stressful thoughts, we come to see they're not true.

If you question your thoughts about when your son is not healthy, you come to see that you're the only one you're worried about. It's like without him, you're not happy - so it's all about your happiness. You want him to live for you - for your happiness.

Love asks for nothing. Only personalities want something.

That's the purpose of stress. It's a friend. It's an alarm clock, built in to let you know that it's time to do The Work.
