If You're Invested In Security And Certainty,

Gloriousness And Wretchedness Need Each Other. One Inspires Us, The Other Softens Us.

The Truth You Believe And Cling To Makes You Unavailable To Hear Anything New.

Compassionate Action Involves Working With Ourselves As Much As Working With Others.

We Already Have Everything We Need. There Is No Need For Self-improvement. All These Trips That We Lay On Ourselves—the Heavy-duty Fearing That We’re Bad And Hoping That We’re Good, The Identities That We So Dearly Cling To, The Rage, The Jealousy And The Addictions Of All Kinds—never Touch Our Basic Wealth. They Are Like Clouds That Temporarily Block The Sun. But All The Time Our Warmth And Brilliance Are Right Here. This Is Who We Really Are. We Are One Blink Of An Eye Away From Being Fully Awake.

The Root Of Suffering Is Resisting The Certainty That No Matter What The Circumstances, Uncertainty Is All We Truly Have.
