You are not your mind
Enlightenment is your mental state of felt oneness w/ being
The mind is a superb instrument if used wisely but if it’s used poorly, it becomes destructive
This is the disease - you believe you are your mind
Listen to the voice in your head. Be there as a witnessing presence
Don’t judge or condemn what you hear, just watch it
Learn to dis-identify with your mind
To the ego the present moment hardly exists. Only the past and future are considered important
Pleasure is always derived from something outside of you whereas joy comes from within
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have
Whatever the present moments contains, accept it as if you had chosen it
Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy
The secret of life is to ‘die before you die’ and find that there is not death
Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be
The present moment is all you ever have. There is never a time when your life is not ‘this moment’
Your life situation exists in time. Your life is now. Your life situation is mind stuff. Your life is real.
Be interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place
Any negative inner state is contagious - unhappiness spreads more easily than physical disease
To complain is always a non-acceptance of what is
Any action is better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it’s a mistake, at least you learned something in which cause it’s no longer a mistake
Stress is caused by being in the present but wanting to be in the future
The only thing real about your journey is the step you are taking at this moment - that’s all there ever is
Your outer purpose will never give you fulfilment
If you do not free yourself from your mind, you will be destroyed by it
Intimate relationships do not cause pain and unhappiness. They bring out the pain and unhappiness already within you
Light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness
Failure lies concealed in every success and success in every failure
All that arises passes away
Every moment is the best - that is enlightenment
Your perception of the world is a reflection of your state of consciousness
The mind always adheres to the known. The unknown is dangerous because it has no control over it
