Stephen Levine
Image
If sequestered pain made a sound, the atmosphere would be humming all the time.

We've all been should upon enough.

Go to the truth beyond the mind. Love is the bridge.
Stephen Levine
Image
The demons aren't the noise. They are our aversion to the noise...when you can accept discomfort, doing so allows a balance of mind. That surrender, that letting go of wanting anything to be other than it is right in the moment, is what frees us from hell.
Stephen Levine
Image
Our addiction to always being right is a great block to the truth. It keeps us from the kind of openness that comes from confidence in our natural wisdom.
Stephen Levine
Image
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. There is nothing to do but be.
Stephen Levine

Whatever prepares you for death enhances life.
Stephen Levine
Image
Sometimes pain and illness are not meant to be removed. You can't second-guess God. Rather than praying for it to go away, it's often wiser to pray that you learn as much from it as you possibly can.
Stephen Levine
Image
Nothing is more natural than grief, no emotion more common to our daily experience. It's an innate response to loss in a world where everything is impermanent.
Stephen Levine
Image
Wanting things to be otherwise is the very essence of suffering. We almost never directly experience what pain is because our reaction to it is so immediate that most of what we call pain is actually our experience of resistance to that phenomenon. And the resistance is usually a good deal more painful than the original sensation.

Buddha left a road map, Jesus left a road map, Krishna left a road map, Rand McNally left a road map. But you still have to travel the road yourself
Stephen Levine
Image
Acting from the appropriateness of the heart, we are freed from the neediness of the mind.
Stephen Levine
Image
It is trust in our vast 'don't know' that allows room for the truth, that allows the next intuition to float to the surface.
Stephen Levine
Image
When we see all women as the divine mother and all men as the divine father, everyone you meet is sacred.

Relate to the fear, not just from it. (50)
