Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel.

The ego is a false sense based on mental concepts. It is identification with the body and the mind-primarily identification with thought form.

You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness.

The only thing that is ultimately real about your journey is the step that you are taking at this moment. That's all there ever is.

When you let go of the belief that you should or need to know who you are, what happens to confusion? Suddenly it is gone. When you fully accept that you don't know, you actually enter a state of peace and clarity that is closer to who you truly are than thought could ever be. Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.

You don't 'have' a life, you 'are' life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.

The ego says, I shouldn't have to suffer, and that thought makes you suffer so much more.
