Understanding is the ultimate seduction of the mind. Go to the truth beyond the mind.

Your distance from your partner is the distance from your heart. The things that make relationships difficult are some of the most precious aspects to us.

Non-attachment is not the elimination of desire. It is the spaciousness to allow any quality of mind, any thought or feeling, to arise without closing around it, without eliminating the pure witness of being. It is an active receptivity to life.

The demons aren't the noise. They are our aversion to the noise...when you can accept discomfort, doing so allows a balance of mind. That surrender, that letting go of wanting anything to be other than it is right in the moment, is what frees us from hell.

The only service you can do for anyone is to remind them of their true nature.

Healing is bringing mercy and Awareness into that which we have held in judgment and fear.

Letting ourselves be forgiven is one of the most difficult healings we will undertake. And one of the most fruitful. (79)
