The facade is the ego. It is motivated by our seeking love. The only reward is frustration, as it is only by loving that one finds love.

Some of us are seeking happiness where it is and as a result are becoming happier. And others are seeking it blindly in the world where it is not and are becoming more frustrated.

The vast majority of people's concept of love is actually hate, more or less. “I need you, I must have you, I can't live without you, you're mine,” is all non-love.

Every problem is an ego problem. In order to have a problem there has to be an ego-frustration.

The more miserable you get, the less you should look for an escape (socializing, entertainment). Rather, isolate until you see and let go of the reason for it, or move into your real Self. Never let go of - through escape from misery - a good opportunity to grow.

Growth is transcending yourself, your habitual self, which is none other than ego.

There's no such thing as a mistake--we do it! There's no such thing as an accident--we do it!.
