You can’t change what you haven’t realized yet. Once you realize what you were asleep to, the change happens on its own.

If our stressful thoughts aren't true, what does that leave? It leaves, "I am loveable" - the very thing I could never make myself believe, because "I'm unloveable" overrides it when the chips are down.

When we question our thoughts, we see that the craziness was never in the world, but in us.

The mind is so tricky. It will say, "No one cares. Is it true? Well, someone does. Let's see: So-and-so doesn't care. Well, maybe they do. Well, there is someone who doesn't care." It just shifts and shifts and shifts, so it can keep all of its concepts intact.

For me, the future lives only here in my mind, as thoughts and images, just as the past does, and I love those thoughts and the world that it produces. I am entirely optimistic about the future.

The nightmare always becomes laughter, once it's understood.

What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
