The secret self knows the anguish of our attachments and assures us that letting go of what we think we must have to be happy is the same as letting go of our unhappiness.

Never run from what you don't understand, as it will be waiting for you every time you come to a stop.

See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea.

Each time that you don't know you are choosing, then of those choices you are not the chooser.

We need to see, and agree that what we seek already lives within us, and we within it. Now we know our one great task: watch for whatever promises us freedom, and then quietly, consciously refuse to see ourselves through the eyes of what we know is incomplete. Then we live wholeness itself, instead of spending our lives looking for it.

Chasing after a pleasure to ease a pain is like running after a breeze to cool you down.

What is true never fears investigation; what is false... fears everything.
