Realize that the surface personality has no interest in anything which might disturb its darling delusions.

You can end half your troubles immediately by no longer permitting people to tell you what you want.

What you really want for yourself is always trying to break through, just as a cooling breeze flows through an open window on a hot day. Your part is to open the windows of your mind.

It is a true miracle when a man finally sees himself as his only opposition.

Happiness is not the acquisition of anything; it's the understanding of something.

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.

Happiness is liberty from everything that makes us unhappy.
