Quotes:

“To understand what meditation is is to find out what meditation isn’t.”

“Aversion is attachment on steroids.”

“Meditation is like shifting everything into neutral. It takes a quality of trust, curiosity, and desperation.” 

“You can’t stop your mind from thinking because you don’t start it thinking.”

“There is a state of being that’s already allowing every moment to be as it is. It’s the awareness that’s functioning right now and has been functioning your whole life.”

“What keeps producing the state of separation is an endless narrative.”
