If your washing machine stops working and you're addicted to appliances that work, you'll get upset and you will suffer. If you prefer that your appliances work well, then when your washing machine breaks down you won't compound the problem by superimposing your uncomfortable emotions on the situation.

I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.

Conscious people always have a choice of whether to try to modify the actions of people around them or to change their response to the incoming stimuli.

You add to the suffering in the world when you take offense, just as much as you do when you give offense.

As we grow in higher consciousness, we discover that it is more important to be the right person then to find the right person.

You should always be aware that your head creates your world.

I feel with loving compassion the problems of others without getting caught up emotionally in their predicaments that are offering them messages they need for their growth.
