While you fear missing a meal, you aren't fully aware of the meals you do eat.

To be authentic literally means to be your own author.

Faith does not rely on knowing anything with certainty. It requires only the courage to accept that whatever happens is for the highest good.

If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.

Your greatest fear is death and your deepest craving is survival. You want Forever, you desire Eternity. In your deluded belief that you are this 'mind' or 'spirit' or 'soul', you find the escape clause in your contract with mortality. Perhaps as 'mind' you can wing free of the body when it dies, hmm?

In life, stress happens when you resist what arises.

You have to lose your mind in order to regain your senses.
