Meditation Is Not About Doing Something

All I Can Be Is Who I Am Right Now; I Can Experience That And Work With It. That's All I Can Do. The Rest Is The Dream Of The Ego.

There Are Many People In The World Who Feel That If Only They Had A Bigger Car, A Nicer House, Better Vacations, A More Understanding Boss, Or A More Interesting Partner, Then Their Life Would Work. We All Go Through That One. Slowly We Wear Out Most Of Our 'if Onlies.

Practice Has To Be A Process Of Endless Disappointment. We Have To See That Everything We Demand (and Even Get) Eventually Disappoints Us. This Discovery Is Our Teacher.

Trust In Things Being As They Are Is The Secret Of Life. But We Don't Want To Hear That. I Can Absolutely Trust That In The Next Year My Life Is Going To Be Changed, Different, Yet Always Just The Way It Is.

Most Of Our Difficulties, Our Hopes, And Our Worries Are Empty Fantasies. Nothing Has Ever Existed Except This Moment. That's All There Is. That's All We Are. Yet Most Human Beings Spend 50 To 90 Percent Or More Of Their Time In Their Imagination, Living In Fantasy. We Think About What Has Happened To Us, What Might Have Happened, How We Feel About It, How We Should Be Different, How Others Should Be Different, How It's All A Shame, And On And On; It's All Fantasy, All Imagination. Memory Is Imagination. Every Memory That We Stick To Devastates Our Life.
