We Don't Attach To People Or To

I've Heard People Say That They Cling To Their Painful Thoughts Because They're Afraid That Without Them They Wouldn't Be Activists For Peace. "if I Feel Peaceful," They Say, "why Would I Bother Taking Action At All?"

It's Difficult To Seek Other People's Love. It's Deadly. In Seeking It You Lose What Is Genuine. This Is The Prison We Create For Ourselves As We Seek What We Already Have.

It's Just A Constant Thing When The Mind Starts To Wake Up To Itself.

The Work Reveals That What You Think Shouldn't Have Happened Should Have Happened. It Should Happened Because It Did, And No Thinking In The World Can Change It. This Doesn't Mean That You Condone It Or Approve Of It. It Just Means That You Can See Things Without Resistance And Without The Confusion Of Your Inner Struggle. No One Wants Their Children To Get Sick, No One Wants To Be In A Car Accident; But When These Things Happen, How Can It Be Helpful To Mentally Argue With Them? We Know Better Than To Do That, Yet We Do It, Because We Don't Know How To Stop.

A Lover Of What Is Looks Forward To Everything: Life, Death, Disease, Loss, Earthquakes, Bombs, Anything The Mind Might Be Tempted To Call 'bad.' Life Will Bring Us Everything We Need, To Show Us What We Haven't Undone Yet. Nothing Outside Ourselves Can Make Us Suffer. Except For Our Unquestioned Thoughts, Every Place Is Paradise.
