If I had a prayer, it would be this: "God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen."

I would go out into the desert. The desert was my teacher. I didn't know about gurus and wise people-I wasn't a reader.

People don't need sudden revelations. They get what they need when they need it, thought by thought by thought. It's a constant thing when the mind starts to wake up to itself.

Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.

There's never a mistake in the universe. So if your partner is angry, good. If there are things about him that you consider flaws, good, because these flaws are your own, you're projecting them, and you can write them down, inquire, and set yourself free. People go to India to find a guru, but you don't have to: you're living with one. Your partner will give you everything you need for your own freedom.

Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.

When the creative mind is unleashed and understands its true nature, it's unlimited. There's nothing you cannot do.
