What a liberation to realize that the 'voice in my head' is not who I am. 'Who am I, then?' The one who sees that.
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life.
You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge. But it can only emerge if something fundamental changes in your state of consciousness.
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
Life is the dancer and you are the dance.
You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
Awareness is the greatest agent for change.
Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.
Shouldn't we suppose that many of our most painful ordeals will look quite different a million years from now, as we recall them on the New Earth? What if one day we discover that God has wasted nothing in our life on Earth? What if we see that every agony was part of giving birth to an eternal joy?
Let a new earth rise. Let another world be born. Let a bloody peace be written in the sky. Let a second generation full of courage issue forth; let a people loving freedom come to growth.
...And we pray, not for new earth or heaven, but to be quiet in heart, and in eye clear. What we need is here.
