Quote

All you have to do is say yes. Don't make some big project out of it. Don't make some big deal out of it. Just say yes. You don't even know what it means to say yes, but you say it anyway. You'll never know what it means to say yes, but you do it anyway. Freedom and Love arise when you die into the unknown mystery of being.

When we really start to take a look at who we think we are... we start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are. [And yet] it is astounding how completely we humans define ourselves by the content of our minds, feelings, and history.

Gratitude is the appreciation of what is, of life, of existence, of anybody and anything, for just the way it is.

When you begin to become conscious, more aware, when your eyes begin to open, the first thing you see is how deluded you are and how much you're holding onto that which makes you suffer. This is, in many ways, the most important step: Are you willing to be aware?
