Quotes from this Download Set:

“The antidote to fear is trust.”

“To turn within doesn’t mean to look inside. It’s a way to counter a forward trajectory.”

“You are taken outside of your psychological dimension, you don’t do it yourself.”

“Fear gets all of its energy from your resistance.”

“You will never live up to your idea of perfection.”

“The imagined self finds itself primarily in the reflection of others.”

“Meditation is supposed to defeat you.”

“Truth is a story, a flash of lightning in an empty sky.”

“The only way to ultimately feel better is to come into alignment with true nature—all else is a bandaid.”

“Until you find the merciful act of redemptive love within yourself, it will be very difficult to overcome the sense of separation.”

“There is a difference between ‘being good’ and ‘being real.’ Drop the ‘good person’ thing and do ‘authentic human being.’”

“The only way to be in the now is to relinquish the personal will.”

“The only thing that stands between you and God is an unclear mind.”

“Be careful not to make ego the fall guy for everything. Remember, everything is God.”
