If you cannot be at ease with yourself when alone, you will seek a relationship to cover up your unease. You can be sure that the unease will then reappear in some other form within the relationship, and you will probably hold your partner responsible for it.

What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.

"Getting away from it all," many people want that, and of course ultimately the only way to get away from it all is to go within, now.

Stress is a form of suffering, but it is accepted as normal. And it is normal in our world.

To me, inner and outer are so strongly linked that any collective change that happens within human beings, within the human psyche, inevitably will be reflected externally in what happens on the whole planet.

Your outer journey may contain a million steps; your inner journey only has one: the step you are taking right now.

The significance is hiding in the insignificant. Appreciate everything.
