“I don’t have something you don’t; you believe something I don’t.”

“I don’t see it as my role to save or rescue anybody any more than regular people feel the need to rescue each other from sleeping and dreaming.”

“Wake up first. Wake up, and then you can double back and perhaps be of some use to others if you still have the urge. Wake up first, with pure and unapologetic selfishness, or you’re just another shipwreck victim floundering in the ocean and all the compassion in the world is of absolutely no use to the other victims floundering around you.”

“The you that you think of as you (and that thinks of you as you, and so on) is not you, it’s just the character that the underlying truth of you is dreaming into existence. Enlightenment isn’t in the character, it’s in the underlying truth.”

“It is your show.It is your universe.There is no one else here, just you,and nothing is being withheld from you.You are completely on your own.Everything is available for direct knowing.No one else has anything you need.No one else can lead you, pull you, push you or carry you.”

“My technique is don’t believe anything. If you believe in something, you are automatically precluded from believing its opposite.”

“Enlightenment isn’t when you go there; it’s when there comes here.”
