Once the pain-body has taken you over, you want more pain. You become a victim or a perpetrator. You want to inflict pain, or you want to suffer pain, or both. There isn't really much difference between the two. You are not conscious of this, of course, and will vehemently claim that you do not want pain. But look closely and you will find that your thinking and behavior are designed to keep the pain going, for yourself and others. If you were truly conscious of it, the pattern would dissolve, for to want more pain is insanity, and nobody is consciously insane.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

It is not necessary to do things in a state of anxiety or anguish. That is not the way to be aligned with life.

To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.

It wasn't through the mind, through thinking, that the miracle that is life on earth or your body were created and are being sustained.

You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware.

The present moment is all you ever have.
