All The Advice You Ever Gave Your Partner Is For You To Hear

I Have Never Experienced A Stressful Feeling That Wasn't Caused By Attaching To An Untrue Thought. Behind Every Uncomfortable Feeling, There's A Thought That Isn't True For Us.

Uncomfortable Feeling

Fear Is Blind. There Are Some Options In It, But They're Very Limited As Compared To The Options Available To The Fearless Mind.

If Your Happiness Depends On Your Children Being Happy, That Makes Them Your Hostages. So Stay Out Of Their Business, Stop Using Them For Your Happiness, And Be Your Own Happiness. And That Way You Are The Teacher For Your Children: Someone Who Knows How To Live A Happy Life.

I Know That Even At Moments Of Apparent Danger, Nothing Is Out Of Order Or Lacking, Other Than Our Own Unquestioned Thoughts About Those Moments.

Thought The Mind Can Justify Itself Faster Than The Speed Of Light, It Can Be Stopped Through The Act Of Writing.

I Suffered From Severe Depression For Over A Decade. My Condition Deteriorated Steadily. I Was Suicidal.

Every Single Human Being Is Trying His Best. We're All Doing The Best We Can. But When We Believe What We Think, We Have To Live Out Those Thoughts. When There's Chaos In Our Heads, There's Chaos In Our Lives. When There's Hurt In Our Thinking, There's Hurt In Our Lives. Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself? I Always Have. When I Hated Me, I Hated You. That's How It Works. If I Hate Someone, I'm Mistaking Them For Me, And Solutions Remain Hidden.

People Don't Need Sudden Revelations. They Get What They Need When They Need It, Thought By Thought By Thought. It's A Constant Thing When The Mind Starts To Wake Up To Itself.

Everyone Wants Peace, Inside And Outside, And We Would All Have It If We Knew How. Now We Know How. It Begins With You.

I Live In A State Of Grace, Where I Don't Have To Know.

Lack Of Understanding Is Always Painful.

The Only Time We Suffer Is When We Believe A Thought That Argues With What Is. When The Mind Is Perfectly Clear, What Is Is What We Want.

I Have Had The Privilege Of Losing Everything.

Losing Everything

People Try So Hard To Let Go Of Their Negative Behaviors And Thoughts, And It Doesn't Work, Or It Works Only For A Short Time. I Didn't Let Go Of My Negative Thoughts; I Questioned Them, And Then They Let Go Of Me, And So Did My Addictions And Depression.

The Way To Truly Help Someone Is For Me To Not Get Immersed In Their Suffering.

Being Present Means Living Without Control And Always Having Your Needs Met.

Live In The Moment

In My Experience, We Don't Make Thoughts Appear, They Just Appear. One Day, I Noticed That Their Appearance Just Wasn't Personal. Noticing That Really Makes It Simpler To Inquire.

Reality Is Always The Story Of A Past, And What I Love About The Past Is—it's Over.

I Am A Lover Of What Is, Not Because I'm A Spiritual Person, But Because It Hurts When I Argue With Reality. We Can Know That Reality Is Good Just As It Is, Because When We Argue With It, We Experience Tension And Frustration. We Don't Feel Natural Or Balanced. When We Stop Opposing Reality, Action Becomes Simple, Fluid, Kind, And Fearless.

If Our Stressful Thoughts Aren't True, What Does That Leave? It Leaves, "i Am Loveable" - The Very Thing I Could Never Make Myself Believe, Because "i'm Unloveable" Overrides It When The Chips Are Down.

People Who Believe Their Unquestioned Thoughts Cannot See What Is Obvious And Directly In Front Of Their Faces At All Times, Because They Are Invested In What They Believe To Be True. As Long As They Live Out Of An Unquestioned Mind, They Must Continue To Argue With What They Believe Is Happening Rather Than The Reality Of What Is Really Happening.

When You Say Or Do Anything To Please, Get, Keep, Influence, Or Control Anyone Or Anything, Fear Is The Cause And Pain Is The Result.

The Mind Is So Tricky. It Will Say, "no One Cares. Is It True? Well, Someone Does. Let's See: So-and-so Doesn't Care. Well, Maybe They Do. Well, There Is Someone Who Doesn't Care." It Just Shifts And Shifts And Shifts, So It Can Keep All Of Its Concepts Intact.

There Is Nothing That Isn't True If You Believe It; And Nothing Is True, Believe It Or Not.

Who Cares If You're Enlightened Forever? Can You Just Get It In This Moment, Now?

The Work: 1. Is It True? 2. Can You Absolutely Know That It’s True? 3. How Do You React, What Happens, When You Believe That Thought? 4. Who Would You Be Without The Thought?

Until You Can See Everything In The World As Your Friend, Your Work Is Not Done.

The Only Difference Between Heaven And Hell Is Believing A Thought.

Everything Happens For Me, Not To Me.

Until You Look Forward To All Criticism, Your Work's Not Done.

When You Discover That All Happiness Is Inside You, The Wanting And Needing Are Over, And Life Gets Very Exciting.

I Am The Perpetrator Of My Suffering - But Only All Of It.

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.

The Perfect World Is Created When The Mind Is Free To See It.

It's Not The Darkness That People Fear; It's What They Imagine Into The Darkness.

If Something Happens To Your Son, Your Thoughts About Not Having Him In Your Life Is What Your Terror Is. It's Not About His Life.

Everyone Is A Mirror Image Of Yourself-your Own Thinking Coming Back To You.

You Would Be Amazed At Who People Are Once You Know Yourself.

I Really Believe I'm Right. So, Tell Me, Where Am I Wrong?

If Your Beliefs Are Stressful And You Question Them, You Come To See That They Aren't True - Whereas Prior To Questioning, You Absolutely Believe Them. How Can You Live In Joy When You're Believing Thoughts That Bring On Sadness, Frustration, Anger, Alienation, And Loneliness?

How Do I Know That I Don’t Need What I Want? I Don’t Have It.

Law Of Attraction

I Saw That We're All Doing The Best We Can. This Is How A Lifetime Of Humility Begins.

As Far As Intellect, What Else Is There? Without Intellect, No Story And No World.

I Was Full Of Rage. My Self-esteem Was So Low That I Actually Slept On The Floor Every Night, Because I Didn't Believe I Deserved A Bed To Sleep In.

The End Of Suffering Happens In This Very Moment, Whether You're Watching A Terrorist Attack Or Doing The Dishes. And Compassion Begins At Home. Because I Don't Believe My Thoughts, Sadness Can't Exist. That's How I Can Go To The Depths Of Anyone's Suffering, If They Invite Me, And Take Them By The Hand And Walk Them Out Of It Into The Sunlight Of Reality. I've Taken That Walk Myself.

For Me, If Somebody Tells Me To Go Away, That Is An Opportunity For Me To Give Them A Better Life. And That's An Opportunity For Me To Know And Realize Where Not To Be. It's An Opportunity For Me To See What Could Be Better Than Being With That Person I Love.

To Argue With Reality Is To Argue With God

Without Our Stories, We Are Not Only Able To Act Clearly And Fearlessly, We Are Also A Friend, A Listener. We Are People Living Happy Lives. We Are Appreciation And Gratitude That Have Become As Natural As Breath Itself. Happiness Is The Natural State For Someone Who Knows That There's Nothing To Know And That We Already Have Everything We Need, Right Here Now.

Those Questions - When You Think About A Thought, When You're Believing A Thought Or Concept And You Question It - You Realize That It Changes Things. Every Cell In Your Body Is Awake With Inquiry.

Pay Close Attention To The Particular Thoughts You Use To Deprive Yourself Of Happiness.

A Dishonest Yes Is A No To Yourself.

When You Think That Someone Or Something Other Than Yourself Needs To Change, You're Mentally Out Of Your Business.

When You Realize That Suffering And Discomfort Are The Call To Inquiry, You May Actually Begin To Look Forward To Uncomfortable Feelings. You May Even Experience Them As Friends Coming To Show You What You Have Not Yet Investigated Thoroughly Enough.

Uncomfortable Feeling

I Would Go Out Into The Desert. The Desert Was My Teacher. I Didn't Know About Gurus And Wise People-i Wasn't A Reader.

I Invite Everyone To Question Their Thoughts About Their Children And Allow Their Children To Be Free. That's When We Stop Teaching Our Children Fear.

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 . . .

So There's Only Transcendence In The Moment. Nobody Can Be Transcended Forever. That's Why I Say, "who Cares If You're Enlightened Forever?"

When I Was In My Early Forties, I Slept With A Loaded Gun Under My Bed. Id Become Severely Depressed In My Thirties, And For Almost A Decade I Spiraled Down Into Paranoia, Rage, Self-loathing, And Thoughts Of Suicide.

Life Is The Constant Opportunity To Wake Up.

Judge Your Neighbor, Write It Down. Ask Four Questions, Turn It Around.

Some Of Us Are Returning To Sanity, Because We're Tired Of The Pain. We're In A Hurry. No Time To Mess Around.

There's No Way That A Clear Mind Can Live An Unhappy Life.

You Don't Get To Vote On What Is. Have You Noticed?

Joy Is A Natural Way Of Being.

Some Children Are Afraid To Die Because Their Parents Are Afraid To Die. My Own Children Have Come To Understand That It's Totally Okay With Me If They Die. They Don't Have To Live For My Sake.

Nothing You Believe Is True. To Know This Is Freedom.

We Suffer Only Until We Realize That We Can't Know Anything.

When A Thought Appears Such As "do The Dishes" And You Don't Do Them, Notice How An Internal War Breaks Out... The Stress And Weariness You Feel Are Really Mental Combat Fatigue.

I See The Goodness And Beauty In Everyone, And Everything Is A Gift Given For Me And For All Of Us. If You Don't Love It, Question Your Mind Until You Do.

When I Am Perfectly Clear, What Is Is What I Want.

You Can't Drop Concepts. You Can Only Shine A Little Flashlight On Them As You Do Inquiry, An You See That What You Thought Was True Wasn't. And When The Truth Is Seen, There's Nothing You Can Do To Make The Lie True For You Again.

Arguing With Reality It Like Trying To Teach A Cat To Bark.

Love Is Worth Living. Why Do You Trade Life For Less?

Clarity Moves Much More Efficiently Than Violence Or Stress.

Nothing Belongs To Me. Everything Comes And Goes. Serenity Is An Open Door.

Who Would You Be Without The Thought That Happiness Depends On Someone Else?

I Like To Say Understanding Is The Power.

The World Is A Projection Of Our Thoughts - The Thoughts We Believe.

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?” My Answer Is “because That's What Love Does.” To Think That We Need Sadness Or Outrage To Motivate Us To Do What's Right Is Insane. As If The Clearer And Happier You Get, The Less Kind You Become. As If When Someone Finds Freedom, She Just Sits Around All Day With Drool Running Down Her Chin. My Experience Is The Opposite. Love Is Action.

I Came To See That There Was Nothing To Forgive, That I Was The One Who Caused My Own Problems.

No-one Can Disappoint You, Only Your Thoughts About Them Can

The Whole Planet Is Waiting For Someone To Do It First

When We Question Our Thoughts, We See That The Craziness Was Never In The World, But In Us.

To Exclude Anything That Appears In Your Universe Is Not Love. Love Joins With Everything. It Doesn't Exclude The Monster. It Doesn't Avoid The Nightmare - It Looks Forward To It.

I Can't Love You As You Have Been Or Will Be. I Can Only Love You As You Are.

It's Only Our Story That Keeps Us From Knowing That We Always Have Everything We Need.

Thinking That People Are Supposed To Do Or Be Anything Other Than What They Are Is Like Saying That The Tree Over There Should Be The Sky. I Investigated That And Found Freedom.

You Can’t Have Your Daughter As Long As You Have A Concept Of Her. When You Get Rid Of The Concept, You Meet Your Daughter For The First Time. That’s The Way This Works.

The Opening To Reality, As It Really Is, Is Beauty.

Peace Doesn't Require Two People; It Requires Only One. It Has To Be You. The Problem Begins And Ends There.

The Only Way I Can Be Angry At You Is When I Have Thought, Said, Or Done Something That Is Unkind In My Own Opinion.

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?"

You Might Believe That It's Only For Their Own Good, But How Does It Feel When You Try To Manipulate The People You Love? Are You Teaching Them That Your Love Is Conditional? Maybe Through Inquiry We Can Find Another Way.

Defense Is The First Act Of War.

What You’re Believing In The Moment Creates Your Suffering Or Your Happiness.

And As Long As We Believe What We Believe - Until That Is Questioned - There's No Progress As A Human Race. Again, We Still Have War. So, Effective Rehabilitation Is To Question What We Believe. When That Happens, Everyone Gets Out Of Prison.

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.

It's Not A Little Thing To Lose Your Identification And Who You Believe Yourself To Be.

Money Is Not My Business; My Thinking Is My Business. I Don't Have Any Other Business.

Do You Want To Be Right More Than You Want To Know The Truth? It's The Truth That Set Me Free. Acceptance, Peace, And Less Attachment To A World Of Suffering Are All Effects Of Doing The Work. They're Not The Goals. Do The Work For The Love Of Freedom, For The Love Of Truth.

Sadness Isn't A Natural Response.

I Can Find Only Three Kinds Of Business In The Universe: Mine, Yours, And God's.

What I Invite People To Do Is To Look At Their Lives Just The Way That They Have Lived Them. Not To Change Anything, And Not To Do Positive Thinking At All.

Positive Thinking

When You Stay Present With Your Children, That’s Where Abundance Is. And When You Stay Out Of Their Business, That’s Where Everything You Deserve In Life Is. When You’re In Presence, There’s No Story, And You Are Abundance. And You Come To Trust That Space So Often That You Just Eventually Hang Out As That, Because There Is Nothing That Can Move You Out Of It, Not Even A Perceived Child Or A Perceived Anything.

The Whole World Is Simply My Story, Projected Back To Me On The Screen Of My Own Perception. All Of It.

So, How Can We Live In Joy - And How Can We Know That We're Supposed To Live In Joy The Way People Tell Us To - When We're Believing Thoughts That Bring On Sadness And Frustration And Anger And Alienation And Loneliness? When We're Believing Those Thoughts, We Think That's The World, Rather Than What We're Believing About The World. We're Like Lost Little Children.

Low Self-esteem Is Not Possible When You Understand The Nature Of Everything. Depression Is Not Possible. The Universe Is Absolutely Friendly.

When I Believed My Thoughts I Suffered.

It's Not Possible To Have A Problem Without Believing A Prior Thought. To Notice This Simple Truth Is The Beginning Of Peace.

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.

Nothing Can Cost You Someone You Love. The Only Thing That Can Cost You Your Husband Is If You Believe A Thought. That's How You Move Away From Him. That's How The Marriage Ends. You Are One With Your Husband Until You Believe The Thought That He Should Look A Certain Way, He Should Give You Something, He Should Be Something Other Than What He Is. That's How You Divorce Him. Right Then And There You Have Lost Your Marriage.

When We Believe In Our Thoughts, When We Tell Ourselves A Story, We Suffer. 'my Husband Doesn't Respect Me.' 'i Should Be Thinner.' Those Are Stories. When There's No Story, There's No Suffering.

I Was Clinically Depressed. I Was Paranoid. I Was Agoraphobic. I Would Have Days At A Time Of Not Being Able To Even Bathe Or Brush My Teeth.

Personalities Don't Love. They Want Something.

Behold Your World! The Judgments You Believe Just Created It.

I Shouldn't Steal In This World.

Self-realization Is Not Complete Until It Lives In Action.

Inquiry Appears To Be A Process Of Thinking, But Actually It's A Way To Undo Thinking. Thoughts Lose Their Power Over Us When We Realize That They Simply Appear In The Mind. They're Not Personal. Through The Work, Instead Of Escaping Or Suppressing Our Thoughts, We Learn To Meet Them With Unconditional Love And Understanding.

Unconditional Love

Every (stressful Thought) Is A Variation On A Single Theme: This Shouldn't Be Happening. I Shouldn't Be Having This Experience. God Is Unjust. Life Isn't Fair.

It Doesn´t Come Later. Everything You´re Supposed To Do Is Here Right Now.

The Voice Within Is What I'm Married To. All Marriage Is A Metaphor For That Marriage. My Lover Is The Place Inside Me Where An Honest Yes And No Come From. That's My True Partner. It's Always There. And To Tell You Yes When My Integrity Says No Is To Divorce That Partner.

Each Time Your Mind Changes Your Whole World Is Changed.

Until You Can Love What Is - Everything, Including The Apparent Violence And Craziness - You're Separate From The World, And You'll See It As Dangerous And Frightening.

Never Be Fooled Into Believing That There Is One Speck Out Of Order.

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?

I Havent Had A Single Thought For 26 Years. I Have Only Understanding. Its Somewhat Complicated To Understand That. Ive Hardly Ever Spoken About It. Youre In A State Of Total Peace Of Mind. A Kind Of Nirvana.

That's What I Love About Integrity. Each Time We Go Inside, That's Where It Is.

Affecting The World Is Obviously Possible When We See People In The World Who We Really Love And Respect And We See How That They Affect Our Lives.

Love And Respect

An Unquestioned Mind Is The World Of Suffering.

Everyone Has Equal Wisdom. It Is Absolutely Equally Distributed. No One Is Wiser Than Anyone Else.

All Sadness Is A Tantrum.

No One Can Give You Freedom But You.

Freedom Of Expression

Any Thought Of Discomfort Or Stress Is An Alarm That Lets You Know You're Believing An Untrue Thought

I Could Go On And On About How The Statements And Concepts That Used To Depress Me Now Bring Me Joy, But That Is Not Easily Understood For People Who Think The Way I Used To Think And Believe What I Used To Believe.

When A Thought Hurts, That’s The Signal That It Isn’t True.

I Used To Sleep On The Floor Next To The Bed, Because I Believed That I Didn't Even Deserve A Bed To Sleep In. And Then, One Morning, A Cockroach Crawled Onto My Leg. I Looked At It, And Suddenly I Awoke From A Kind Of Hypnotic Trance In Which I Had Been All My Life.

We Don’t Attach To Things; We Attach To Our Stories About Them.

Seeking Love Keeps You From The Awareness That You Already Have It—that You Are It.

The Ability To Understand The Cause Of Your Own Suffering Gives You The Ability To Understand Ours.

When You’re Focused Outside And Believe That Your Problem Is Caused By Someone Else, Rather Than By Your Attachment To The Story You’re Believing In The Moment, Then You Are Your Own Victim, And The Situation Appears To Be Hopeless.

I Stopped Waiting For The World To Give Me What I Wanted; I Started Giving It To Myself.

The World Is As You Perceive It To Be. For Me, Clarity Is A Word For Beauty. It’s What I Am. And When I’m Clear, I See Only Beauty. Nothing Else Is Possible.

Thinking That What You Want Equals What's Best For You Is A Dead End.

You Are Your Only Hope, Because We're Not Changing Until You Do. Our Job Is To Keep Coming At You, As Hard As We Can, With Everything That Angers, Upsets, Or Repulses You, Until You Understand. We Love You That Much, Whether We're Aware Of It Or Not. The Whole World Is About You.

A Thought Is Harmless Unless We Believe It.

We All Begin To Do What We Can Do, Just Like We're Doing Now, To Clean Up The Planet And To Find Solutions Rather Than Fight. It Just Happens Everywhere.

Who Would You Be If You Didn't Believe This Lie?

We Never Make A Decision. When The Time Is Right, The Decision Makes Itself.

The Work Is Four Questions And A Turnaround. The Work Is A Way To Identify And Question The Thoughts That Cause All The Suffering And Violence In The World. The Work Is A Very, Very Simple Process. It's For Anyone Who Can Answer A Question That Is Willing To. It Takes A Bit Of Willingness And An Open Mind.

I Am Never Unhappy, You Can Achieve That As Well.

Thoughts Are Just What Is. They Appear. They're Innocent. They're Not Personal.

There Is No Peace In The World Until You Find Peace Within Yourself In This Moment.

It Makes Sense That No One Else Can Cause You Pain. That's Your Job.

If You Don't Like Your World, Question Your Thoughts About It.

The Ego Is Terrified Of The Truth. And The Truth Is That The Ego Doesn't Exist.

To Think That I Know What's Best For Anyone Else Is To Be Out Of My Business. Even In The Name Of Love, It Is Pure Arrogance, And The Result Is Tension, Anxiety, And Fear. Do I Know What's Right For Me? That Is My Only Business. Let Me Work With That Before I Try To Solve Problems For You.

Maybe Everything We've Ever Done Has Been For Love.

With Inquiry, Every Painful Story Unravels. Freedom Is Possible In Every Moment.

I Love What I Think, And I'm Never Tempted To Believe It.

If You Argue Against Reality You Will Suffer.

To Understand Our Own Thinking Is To Understand All Thinking.

The World Is What You Believe It To Be, And It Changes As You Change.

Until We Question Our Stressful Thoughts, We Remain Victims Of The Images In Our Head.

That's The Purpose Of Stress. It's A Friend. It's An Alarm Clock, Built In To Let You Know That It's Time To Do The Work.

Whenever You Think That Your Needs Are Not Being Met, You’re Telling The Story Of A Future
