Getting Rid of Something

Spirituality is never about getting something.
It is always about getting rid of something.

Unknown (quoted by Michael A. Singer)

You Are the One Who Hears It

There is nothing more important to true growth than 
realizing that you are not the voice of the mind -
you are the one who hears it. If you don't understand
this, you will try to figure out which of the many things
the voice says is you.

Michael A. Singer

Honoring Reality

A wise person doesn't renounce the world;
they honor the reality that's unfolding in front of them.

Michael A. Singer

Today I Am Wise

Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself.

Jalāl al-Dīn Rumi

No Preferences

The Great Way is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.

Seng Ts'an, the Third Patriarch of Zen

Most Significant Credential

Of all my credentials as a therapist,
my most significant is that
I'm a card-carrying member
of the human race.

Let Go of Controlling

We can't understand the nature of reality
until we let go of controlling our experience.

The Moment in Front of You

The moment in front of you that you deal with, have so much trouble with at any given time, the moment in front of you is not bothering you. You are bothering yourself about the moment in front of you.
