The way to truly help someone is for me to not get immersed in their suffering.

As we watch the world embrace the Olympics in the coming days, let us remember why the modern Olympics came into being: to bring nations closer together, to have the youth of the world compete in sports, rather than fight in war. As long as we believe our own war-driven thoughts, there will always be war, in ourselves, in our families, and in our world. As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.

One morning in February 1986, out of nowhere, I experienced a realization. In an instant, I discovered that when I believed my stressful thoughts, I suffered, but when I questioned them, I didn't suffer.

The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.

If you think the cause of your problem is 'out there,' you'll try to solve it from the outside. Take the shortcut: solve it from within.

Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.

You would be amazed at who people are once you know yourself.
