If you don't like your world, question your thoughts about it.

When you do The Work, you see who you are by seeing who you think other people are. Eventually you come to see that everything outside you is a reflection of your own thinking. You are the storyteller, the projector of all stories, and the world is the projected image of your thoughts.

We are never really in control. We just think we are when things happen to be going our way.

The apparent craziness of the world, like everything else, is a gift that we can use to set our minds free.

So there's only transcendence in the moment. Nobody can be transcended forever. That's why I say, "Who cares if you're enlightened forever?"

What I invite people to do is to look at their lives just the way that they have lived them. Not to change anything, and not to do positive thinking at all.

I came to see that there was nothing to forgive, that I was the one who caused my own problems.
