But there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.

If there were nothing but thought in you, you wouldn't even know you are thinking. You would be like a dreamer who doesn't know he is dreaming. When you know you are dreaming, you are awake within the dream.

Some people get attached to their practice. They get good at it, but even becoming a good meditator can become a hindrance.

For many years I had been deeply identified with thinking and the painful, heavy emotions that had accumulated inside. My thought activity was mostly negative, and my sense of identity was also mostly negative, although I tried hard to prove to myself and to the world that I was good enough by working very hard academically. But even after I had achieved academic success, I was happy for two weeks or three and then the depression and anxiety came back.

Death means that a form of life dissolves or that the imminent possibility of dissolution exists, whether through our own death or through illness or old age.

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.

My mind cannot know you, only labels, judgments, facts, and opinions about you. Being alone knows directly.
