Your definition of who you are is your prison. You can set yourself free at any time.

It takes a tremen­dous act of courage to admit to your­self that you are not defec­tive in any way what­so­ever.

People respond better to kindness than cruelty. Why, it's even caught on in the workplace, that bastion of self-hatred and disrespect.

That which you seek, is causing you to seek.

You have been taught that there is something wrong with you and that you are imperfect, but there isn't and you're not.

We have a choice. We can love our lives trying to conform to some nebulous standard, or we can live our lives seeing how everything works. When we step back and look at it that way, it is obvious that the attitude of fascination is the only intelligent one to bring to anything.

Fear forces us to spend our lives dealing with it, ostensibly to overcome it. But that is a trick. Only fear (the illusion of separation) would want us to work to be unafraid, precisely because it is not possible for a separate self to be unafraid!
