When we try to describe the truth with words, we distort it and it's no longer truth--it's our story. The story may be true for us, but that doesn't mean it's true for anyone else.

Only the truth can set us free from the fear, the drama and the conflict of our lives.

We were born in this society, we grew up in this society. And we learn to be like everyone else, playing nonsense all the time.

Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

The word is not just a sound or a written symbol. The word is a force; it is the power you have to express and communicate, to think, and thereby to create the events in your life. The word is the most powerful tool you have as a human; it is a tool of magic.

We don't need to invest all of our faith in every concept, in every symbol, in every opinion that forms the totality of our knowledge. Faith means to believe in something 100% without a doubt, and to doubt our own knowledge can seem like the most frightening thing that can happen to us.

When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
