"Many of us are born, only to spend years moving through this life asleep. And it must be said that often it is suffering that wakes us up. And so, we cannot make a long-term enemy of our suffering; if it is the very thing which leads the way to our liberation. "
"Allow yourself to have any emotion that comes up! Most of suffering is caused by suppression! "
"Pain ceases to become suffering when you begin to see what is birthed from pain. "
"You can not even have a desire in the first place if it is not MEANT to be yours. "
"Patience is not the same thing as allowing. Allowing is a non-resistant state of being. Patience however, means that you have handed off the power of creation as well as your happiness to someone else in your experience. Your happiness is now at the mercy of their timeline and not your own; therefore patience is not the virtue that we think it is. "
"What is enlightenment? It is complete and total non-attachment to one’s own thoughts. And in the absence of attachments to one’s own thoughts, all that is present is love "
"We all live with a set of “rules” in our minds which guide our behavior. And each of us has “rules” in our minds that are a little different. These “rules” are core beliefs that grow out of our families, governments, religions and cultures. Guilt arises any time we violate these “rules”. We think the way to avoid guilt is to make 100% sure that we never violate these “rules” that we have set up in our own minds. But that is not the answer. The way to avoid and eliminate guilt is to question and change your “rules”. "
"What is self loving today may not be self loving tomorrow. What you want today may not be what you want tomorrow. What brings you joy today may not be what brings you joy tomorrow. This is why life changes when you keep going in the direction of self-love, desire and joy. But the answer is not to deny yourself love, deny yourself your wants and deny yourself joy. The answer is to let your life change "
