More quotes by Ken Keyes Jr.
Happiness is experienced when your life gives you what you are willing to accept.
Ken Keyes Jr.
No one that ever lived has ever had enough power, prestige, or knowledge to overcome the basic condition of all life - you win some and you lose some.
Ken Keyes Jr.
View others as unfolding beings in their journey toward higher consciousness.
Ken Keyes Jr.
A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world.
Ken Keyes Jr.
You can make really effective changes when your consciousness is free of emotional turmoil.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Life goes by rapidly. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Don't wait until you have some spare time. Don't wait until the time's 'right'.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Allow yourself emotion-backed demands only for physical necessities such as air to breathe, food if starving, and shelter if freezing.
Ken Keyes Jr.
People who postpone happiness are like children who try chasing rainbows in an effort to find the pot of gold at the rainbows end...Your life will never be fulfilled until you are happy here and now.
Ken Keyes Jr.
How soon will you realize that the only thing you don't have is the direct experience that there's nothing you need that you don't have?
Ken Keyes Jr.
It is beautiful to acquire knowledge, but it is misleading to expect it to bring us peace, love and happiness.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Happiness happens when your consciousness is not dominated by addictions and demands - and you experience life as a parade of preferences.
Ken Keyes Jr.
If your washing machine stops working and you're addicted to appliances that work, you'll get upset and you will suffer. If you prefer that your appliances work well, then when your washing machine breaks down you won't compound the problem by superimposing your uncomfortable emotions on the situation.
Ken Keyes Jr.
We see things not as they are, but as we are. Your addictions distort how you process the enormous flow of information that is constantly flooding in through all of your sensory inputs.
Ken Keyes Jr.
It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.
Ken Keyes Jr.
By tuning in to the ocean of loving energy around you, you can have far more security, enjoyable sensations, effectiveness, and love than you would ever need in order to live a continuously beautiful life.
Ken Keyes Jr.
I accept myself completely here and now and consciously experience everything I feel, think, say and do (including my emotion backed addictions) as a necessary part of my growth into higher consciousness.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Upgrade your addictions to the status of preferences. Here's the distinction between an addiction and a preference.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Acceptance doesn't mean that you've resigned yourself to live the rest of your life with a particular person, or in a particular situation. It just means that you won't cause yourself emotional discomfort because of the way things are in this moment.
Ken Keyes Jr.
Expand your love, your consciousness, and your loving compassion by experiencing everything that everyone does or says as though you had done or said it.
Ken Keyes Jr.
I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.
Ken Keyes Jr.
