The outside conditions of your life do not make you feel either secure or insecure. One person may feel secure with practically no money at all, while another may feel insecure with a million dollars in the bank. Your feelings of security or insecurity are due to your emotional programming.

It is beautiful to acquire knowledge, but it is misleading to expect it to bring us peace, love and happiness.

We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have.

Everything is a gift of the universe -even joy, anger, jealously, frustration, or separateness. Everything is perfect either for our growth or our enjoyment.

Allow yourself emotion-backed demands only for physical necessities such as air to breathe, food if starving, and shelter if freezing.

Even when we get what we addictively want, our wanting to keep things that way automatically creates a new addiction.

By tuning in to your minute-to-minute stream of consciousness, you discover the addictions that make you worried, anxious, resentful, uptight, afraid, angry, bored, etc. You thus use every uncomfortable emotion as an opportunity for consciousness growth. Even though you may still be feeling emotional and uptight, you begin to get at the roots of your ups and downs - your brief bits of pleasure and your long periods of unhappiness.
