📣 Curious Quotes from the Author
“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 want to be happy, you have to let go of the part of you that wants to create melodrama. This is the part that thinks there’s a reason not to be happy. You have to transcend the personal, and as you do, you will naturally awaken to the higher aspects of your being. In the end, enjoying life’s experiences is the only rational thing to do. You’re sitting on a planet spinning around in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Go ahead, take a look at reality. You’re floating in empty space in a universe that goes on forever. If you have to be here, at least be happy and enjoy the experience. You’re going to die anyway. Things are going to happen anyway. Why shouldn’t you be happy? You gain nothing by being bothered by life’s events. It doesn’t change the world; you just suffer. There’s always going to be something that can bother you, if you let it.”
“Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. Nobody else can.”
“If you truly love someone, your love sees past their humanness”
“When a problem is disturbing you, don't ask, "What should I do about it?" Ask, "What part of me is being disturbed by this?”
“Do not let anything that happens in life be important enough that you’re willing to close your heart over it.”
“Eventually you will see that the real cause of problem is not life itself. It's the commotion the mind makes about life that really causes the problems.”
“The truth is that most of life will unfold in accordance with forces far outside your control, regardless of what your mind says about it”
“Imagine if you used relationships to get to know other people, rather than to satisfy what is blocked inside of you. If you’re not trying to make people fit into your preconceived notions of what you like and dislike, you will find that relationships are not really that difficult. If you’re not so busy judging and resisting people based upon what is blocked inside of you, you will find that they are much easier to get along with—and so are you. Letting go of yourself is the simplest way to get closer to others.”
“We are constantly trying to hold it all together. If you really want to see why you do things, then don't do them and see what happens.”
“There is no reason to constantly attempt to figure everything out”
“Your relationship with God is the same as your relationship with the sun. If you hid from the sun for years and then chose to come out of your darkness, the sun would still be shining as if you had never left. You don’t need to apologize. You just pick your head up and look at the sun. It’s the same way when you decide to turn toward God—you just do it.”
“Instead of being encouraged to feel completely protected, loved, honored, and respected by the Divine Force, you've been taught that you're being judged. Because you've been taught that, you feel guilt and fear. But guilt and fear do not open you connection to the Divine; they only serve to close your heart. The reality is that God's way is love, and you can see this for yourself.”
“True personal growth is about transcending the part of you that is not okay and needs protection.”
📚 Cognition of the Book’s Big Idea
You are just conscious of your thoughts; you are not your thoughts. Acknowledge this and release them! You're locking yourself into a cage if you allow your mind to become overly fixated on any one idea. You'll be more enlightened, happy, and healthy once you've mastered this and let your inner energy to flow.
Pay attention to yourself.
Enlightenment is impossible to attain if you don't truly accept your thoughts for what they are, including fearful or envious ones. Recognize these feelings rather than suppressing them so you may allow them to pass through you without dictating who they are.
