If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
If you want to enter a state of grace, question the assumption you’re defending right now.
If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
Love asks for nothing. Only personalities want something.
It's a wonderful world when you have what you want at all times.
If I want something, I go get it. Anything that I believe will stop me, I question.
Everyone wants peace, inside and outside, and we would all have it if we knew how. Now we know how. It begins with you.
Personalities don't love. They want something.
When I am perfectly clear, what is is what I want.
If you want to clean up the environment, start with your mind. It starts there!
How do I know that I don’t need what I want? I don’t have it.
You can't have an up without a down. You can't have a left without a right. This is duality. If you have a problem, you must already have the solution. The question is, do you really want the solution, or do you want to perpetuate the problem?
Thinking that what you want equals what's best for you is a dead end.
If you want real control, drop the illusion of control; let life have you. It does anyway. You’re just telling yourself the story of how it doesn’t.
