The world is what you believe it to be, and it changes as you change.

Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.

I'm not in Iraq. I'm here in California. Have I had an argument with my husband today? Have I been at war with someone in my life today - or with myself? Let me work on that. That way war is ending somewhere in the world.

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

So, how can we live in joy - and how can we know that we're supposed to live in joy the way people tell us to - when we're believing thoughts that bring on sadness and frustration and anger and alienation and loneliness? When we're believing those thoughts, we think that's the world, rather than what we're believing about the world. We're like lost little children.

Happiness is the natural state for someone who knows that there's nothing to know.
