“I was so self-critical. I still am; but it's not as bad anymore.”

“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me.”

“I have a black-belt in self-pity. I was an expert in the field. Still am. It's a skill you never forget.”

“I am Dead, but it's not so bad. I've learned to live with it.”

“Your duty is to be and not to be this or that. 'I am that I am' sums up the whole truth. The method is summed up in the words 'Be still'. What does stillness mean? It means destroy yourself. Because any form or shape is the cause for trouble. Give up the notion that 'I am so and so'. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that?”

“I so badly needed to self-destruct.”
