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.

Think of the world as a loving place that is designed to give you everything that you need.

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

Once again, when you upgrade sensations from an addiction to a preference, you can enjoy things such as gourmet food and music, without having your happiness depend on them.

Love everyone unconditionally, including yourself.

You always have enough to be happy. It's the patterns in your head that make you unhappy.
