Until we know that we can bear the unbearable, we're always running scared.
The soul is love, joy. Joy. Peace. Wisdom.
Learn to watch your drama unfold while at the same time knowing you are more than your drama.
You can't build joy on a feeling of self-loathing.
If you think you are free, there is no escape possible.
Suffering lets us see where are attachments are - and that helps us get free.
