Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.

Much suffering, much unhappiness arises when you take each thought that comes into your head for the truth.

Become an alchemist. Transmute base metal into gold, suffering into consciousness, disaster into enlightenment.

People always form images of who others are, and they can be inflated images.

It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.

The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.

In you, as in each human being, there is a dimension of consciousness far deeper than thought. It is the very essence of who you are. We may call it presence, awareness, the unconditioned consciousness.
