The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.
Jack KornfieldIt does not matter whether you have religion or are an agnostic believe in nothing, You can only appreciate (without knowing or understanding) the mysteries of life.
Jack KornfieldTo live life is to make a succession of errors. Understanding this can bring us great ease and forgiveness for ourselves and others.
Jack KornfieldLetting go is not the same as aversion, struggling to get rid of something. We cannot genuinely let go of what we resist. What we resist and fear secretly follows us even as we push it away. To let go of fear or trauma, we need to acknowledge just how it is. We need to feel it fully and accept that it is so. It is as it is. Letting go begins with letting be.
