Quotes from this Download Set:

“If you’re resisting, just resist. Don’t resist your resistance. If you can’t surrender, just surrender to not surrendering.”

“Gratitude is just existence appreciating itself.”

“Life is neither meaningful or meaningless; these are definitions we put on it.”

“What are you when you’re not telling yourself a story that you’re unworthy?”

“There is no such thing as actual separation; it’s a dream that’s created in the mind.”

“Just imagine that the thoughts in your mind are completely irrelevant, and the presence or absence of them are totally irrelevant. The only thing that needs to be let go of is your obsession with the thoughts, not the thoughts themselves.”

“The truth of our being is empty of all description; it’s a nothing that’s something and a something that’s nothing.”

“Sacrificial love will surrender itself to the beloved; it’s something that loves the divine so much that it will give its life.”

“Act from what you are for rather than what you are against.”

“Silence is a spiritual hygiene—it nourishes the spirit.”

“When we find what is never born, we find what never dies. Usually the thing in us that wants to survive is that which doesn't.”

“Illusion is simply confused truth. Confusion is confused clarity.”

“When we feel God as everything, the most mundane things have the feeling of the sacred.”

“The ego survives on the belief that ‘This isn’t it.’”
