Every story leads away from you. Turn it around undo it. You are what exists before all stories. You are what remains when the story is understood.

Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.

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.
