Quotes from this Download Set:

“The ego is a denial machine for the very thing it is searching for.”

“It’s not about finding the state that is not present.”

“What gets you to the edge of the mind is the mind. But it can’t get you beyond that.”

“Your consciousness cannot reach down into your unconscious; it has to be taken.”

“Enlightenment means identity is no longer contained in the ego identity. There is no ego there lamenting over what is lost.”

“There’s often a subtle resistance to being embodied.”

“We can’t consciously relinquish self-consciousness.”

“The Ground of Being can take everything in with a big, huge, cosmic yes!”

“Turn the tide of love back upon yourself.”

“Your being is the one thing that can never abandon you.”

“The wisdom voice nearly always feels like a gift.”

“You can do praying where it doesn’t feel like you praying—our true nature can do the praying.”

“Our true ‘I’ is the Divine ‘I’.”

“Personal will is the raw fuel of the ego.”

“Resignation and surrender are cousins, but are very different.”

“What are you being dragged toward?”

“In the end, spirituality is all about surrendering and letting go in a heartful way.”
