No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.
Live as though you don't exist; like you are two eyeballs floating in space with nothing behind them. No brain attached. Not even hair - Nothing. There is a place inside your own heart, inside your own being that knows the kind of seemingly foolish things I speak and it is totally thrilled to be reminded of this infinite expanse and infinite joy that it is. Find this place.
Often one is more attached to the journey than to the discovery... because the journey happens in the mind... the discovery happens in the heart.

The place you are looking for is the place from which you are looking.
A thought may arise: 'It's okay now, but it's going to be different when I step out the door'. Already you are anticipating your downfall. Recognise these as just thoughts. You can just watch them, feel their pull yet observe them as a movement in consciousness. Stay put as formless awareness.
Wanting something to make you happy is a sure way to be miserable.
If you sit down and just keep quiet...you are in the state of Self-Awareness. ..keeping quiet means being without any techniques, effort or intention to meditate...not following the thought stream...not pursuing the senses, no imagination...such an intense Self-focusing comes without any effort...then, by itself...out of nowhere, wisdom and insights come.
All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.
Let it be whatever it will be. Give up trying to manipulate. This is Freedom.
Out of the formless the forms appear.
I don't have to be anything at all. I don't even have to be myself, because there is no such thing as not being myself. I am inescapably myself.
You are the Master, the mind is your servant. That is the correct relationship.
When you are free from delusion, you can enjoy illusion. Enjoy the dream but enjoy the dream being free.
Mind and body have taken the journey, but the real home place is your own heart. It is infinite and so wherever you go, you are always Home.
Face your fears and stop allowing the mind to hold you captive.
Sometimes consciousness devises an obstacle in order to have the experience of transcending it.
It is not about mind-watching; but rather recognizing That which watches the mind.
Our illness is often our healing.
The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.
Attention pays attention to a lot of things, but when attention pays attention to attention, then there is a stillness, and that stillness introduces you to your Self.
When the mind adjusts to simply staying here, then that mind is not called mind any more. It's just Self. It's only ever Self.
It is the conditioned mind that says, 'I'm lost.' Let mind be lost. Lose your mind. Lose your mind inside your heart.
