We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.

We are enslaved by anything we do not consciously see. We are freed by conscious perception.

Truth does not really hurt, rather it is our resistance to its message that causes us pain.

When you are genuinely strong, you neither attack nor defend and so retain your energy.

Have the daring to stop doing the things you really don't want to do. Can you see them? Look closely. Can you observe the many things you do because you reluctantly feel you should or must? Watch closely. Examine every action and reaction. Do you act naturally or do you act because you feel compelled? If you feel compelled, stop. Compulsion is slavery. Example: Refuse to go along with the crowd.

It is against the law to permit weak people to steal your strength. Never permit it.

Don't look for someone in whom to believe. Believe in yourself. The only authentic authority is your own original nature.
