Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers.

Thought the mind can justify itself faster than the speed of light, it can be stopped through the act of writing.
Byron Katie
Image
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.
Byron Katie

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?
