Quotes from this Download:

“It’s not the thing that disappears, it’s the identification that disappears.”

“That which we’re naturally drawn to do tends to be more powerful than anything we decide to do.”

“The reason for anything happening in this moment is literally everything that’s happening everywhere.”

“It’s important to live the realization on a day-to-day, moment-to-moment basis. We may not be ready to be true to the truth, to hold absolute integrity with what we’ve realized.”
