Just as the dog loves to chew bones, the human mind loves its problems.

I know that at the core of each religion there is the truth, heavily obscured in some cases, but it's there.

You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.

Only when you've truly had enough suffering in your life, are you able to say ' I don't need it anymore'.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness, and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness, then they would not be worth having.

The energy that flows into what you do, although it may be high energy, is very peaceful energy. It is not out of alignment with life.
