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

What's happening in the world is a natural course of events.

If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.

When we're not defending and justifying, and we're being very still, our answers can and do shock us.

You can only see what you believe—nothing else is possible.

Who I believed myself to be was a hopeless case. I would wake up in the mornings and notice I was still alive and breathing and hate God, hate myself, hate life, and contemplate ways of killing myself.

I see the goodness and beauty in everyone, and everything is a gift given for me and for all of us. If you don't love it, question your mind until you do.
