“every complaint is a little story the mind makes up that you completely believe in.”

“Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.”

“Life isn't as serious as my mind makes it out to be.”

“On a deeper level you are already complete. When you realize that, there is a joyous energy behind what you do.”

“You are not your mind”

“I don't want it to end, and so, as every therapist knows, the ego does not want an end to its “problems” because they are part of its identity. If no one will listen to my sad story, I can tell it to myself in my head, over and over, and feel sorry for myself, and so have an identity as someone who is being treated unfairly by life or other people, fate or God. It gives definition to my self-image, makes me into someone, and that is all that matters to the ego.”

“Through the present moment, you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally been called "God." As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life.”
