Often we don't change because we're afraid of what might happen. We cling to what we recognize, even if we are steeped in suffering.

Once we do fill the void and experience the expansion in consciousness, we realize there is enough and has always been enough. We've always had exactly what we've needed in every moment.

Most people ultimately realize that they can acquire things, change their partner or other things, consume more and still it doesn't work. I'm not criticizing any of this.

You can have all the external experiences but you have to be the love first.

Initially when our foundations are rocked, when we lose our external security, we feel very fragile. In that moment, we have a choice. Am I the Phoenix and rise from the ashes or do I just keep wallowing in the ashes?

We're trying to fill something internal with something external. We're trying to fill something real with something illusionary.

There's a part of us that is addicted to suffering, that equates love with suffering.
