Resistance keeps you stuck. Surrender immediately opens you to the greater intelligence that is vaster than the human mind, and it can then express itself through you. So through surrender often you find circumstances changing.

Internal and external are ultimately one. When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently. Love and compassion arise, and they affect the world.

The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.

Anything that you resent and strongly react to in another is also in you.

If peace is really what you want, then you will choose peace.
