I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours and God's. Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our business. When I think, "You need to get a job, I want you to be happy, you should be on time, you need to take better care of yourself," I am in your business. When I'm worried about earthquakes, floods, war, or when I will die, I am in God's business. If I am mentally in your business or in God's business, the effect is separation.

They'll burn through to the reality that has always been waiting.

Reality is always the story of a past, and what I love about the past is—it's over.

It's not a little thing to lose your identification and who you believe yourself to be.
