Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear.
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
What you’re believing in the moment creates your suffering or your happiness.
What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?
Money is not my business; my thinking is my business. I don't have any other business.
For me, everything is God. Everything and everyone. So it was just, God needs me now, now, now.
When you believe that your problem is caused by someone or something else, you become your own victim.
I love not rushing the process. Mind doesn't shift until it does, and when it does shift, it's right on time, not one second too late or too soon. People are like seeds waiting to sprout. We can't be pushed ahead of our own understanding.
When you're comfortable and secure, it's not enough. The mind doesn't stop there because it has to continue to focus itself as this body, so it moves to pleasure. And pleasure really is a non-existent thing. When we're experiencing pleasure, we're trying to hold onto it as it leaves, so it really isn't pleasure. Pleasure is pain because we're grasping.
I didn't fight or shame my thoughts, I questioned them, and they stopped shaming me.
If you are an enemy to your own mind, other people have to become enemies too, sooner or later. Until you understand, until you can love the thoughts that appear in your mind, then you can love the rest of us. You work with the projector -the mind - not the projected world. I can't really love you until I question the mind that thinks it sees you outside itself . . .
Any thought of discomfort or stress is an alarm that lets you know you're believing an untrue thought
God, as I use the word, is another name for what is. I always know God's intention: It's exactly what is in every moment.
Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.
