Affecting the world is obviously possible when we see people in the world who we really love and respect and we see how that they affect our lives.

Your suffering is never caused by the person you're blaming.

Whatever it takes for you to find your freedom, that's what you've lived.

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.

When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.

And as long as we believe what we believe - until that is questioned - there's no progress as a human race. Again, we still have war. So, effective rehabilitation is to question what we believe. When that happens, everyone gets out of prison.

Without an uninvestigated story, there's only the perfection of life appearing as itself. You can always go inside and find the beauty that's revealed after the pain and fear are understood.
