"We can march with dogged determination towards our goal, or we can dance, with no destination in mind. We can take the shortest route from point A to point B, or we can embark on a magical mystery tour." "The only help you can ever really give anyone is to help them to understand they do not need any help." "Wait not. Want not. Love now and allow." "Whenever we hold other people or circumstances responsible for our feelings, we immediately become their slave. Claim total responsibility. Claim total freedom." "Belief is a closing of the mind, an eschewing of possibility. It is always born of fear and a need for false security. Take courage and admit you don't know. That way freedom lies." "The pursuit of happiness always leads to unhappiness. Keep still. There is is." "If love is for a reason then it isn't love, but desire. If happiness is for a reason then it isn't happiness, but pleasure. Both love and happiness are intrinsically unconditional." "You can be the driver if you want. You will be in control. You will feel important. You will get to decide where to go. All this is true. Just remember, when you are the driver, you never get to relax, you never get to gaze at the scenery and you never get to pull moonies out the back window." "All belief is self deceit. Either you know or you don't. If you know, belief is unnecessary. If you don't, admit it, otherwise you never will." "You haven't started living until you've started giving." "To define yourself or another individual always limits and diminishes. Even if the definition is a supposedly 'positive' one, it will always fall massively short of the magnificent wonder that is undefined reality." "You are not responsible for other people's feelings. They are." "Other people are not responsible for your feelings. You are." "The closer you come to really loving anyone or anything, the closer you come to simply letting it be, without any interference at all." "Reject all attempts to define you as a person, even if they are 'positive', even if they come from your own mind." "One who understands his or her uniqueness has no competitors." "There are two sides to every argument. They are always both wrong." "Tolerance is a poor substitute for acceptance." "Who you are speaks so powerfully that it matters not what you do." "When wrestling with unhappiness we often despise others' outward displays of love and happiness and refuse to accept their authenticity. What to do? First, stop wrestling." "If you want to make sure that your friend remains unhappy, show them great sympathy." "There are no wrong decisions. It is indecision that keeps you stuck in mental turmoil. If you really can't decide, just toss a coin." "Thought always obstructs direct observation. Interpretation is self-deception. Just LOOK." "All seriousness is ego speaking."

Love NOW." "Hope requires both a shirking of personal responsibility and a movement of precious attention from present Reality into future illusion. Hope never. Love. Now."

Any fixed ideas you have about yourself are your own unnecessary imposition." "Sympathy is not compassion." "Person-pleasing is not love." "Belief is a subtle form of mistrust." "Truth is not positive and positive thought is never true." "Only paradoxical thought, thought which negates itself, can come close to Truth, because Reality can only be seen when ALL thought is discarded." "To be free from the chains of thought and therefore free from the suffering thought causes, one does not need to stop using mind or to drop out of society. One just needs to remember that none of it is true." "All belief is prejudice. You cannot expect one group to give up their prejudices unless you are also prepared to give up yours. You may think that your prejudices are 'nicer' than their prejudices. But this judgement is also a prejudice. They probably heartily disagree. For a world without prejudice, all belief has to be discarded." "Why are you waiting?" "The strength of infinite possibility is dramatically reduced by the regular exercise of personal choice." "Most of us are sitting in a prison cell whose walls are our beliefs and which is guarded by our ego. The moment we let go of our beliefs, the walls disappear and the guard is out of a job." "On the Great River flows carrying our tiny boats on its surface. We can stick our oar in and pretend we are steering. That is good for the ego. Grander egos will even pretend they are changing the course of the water itself. And yet beyond these pretences, the Great River keeps carrying us powerfully in the direction it is flowing." "Before you set about trying to solve your problems, take a while to make sure you didn't just make them up." "Ideals are the whips with which we punish our innocent selves for something we haven't done." "Only those who lack self-respect require respect from others." "Compromise is an excellent way of making sure everyone is dissatisfied." "If you are hoping to find love in a relationship, you are not ready for a loving relationship." "If you can be wounded by words, understand that it is your ego that is being wounded. Allow it to be wounded as often as possible until it is thoroughly broken. Then it will no longer be able to hold back your Being." "There is never any need to let the past affect who you choose to be today." "Life is not a question to be answered. Life is not a competition to be won. Life is not a problem to be solved. Life is a dance to be danced." "If we use alcohol, recreational drugs or take anti-depressants to suppress our natural emotions, we are like the captain of a ship that is heading towards the rocks who has put on a blindfold so that he cannot see the lighthouse." "Despite what the roboteers will have you believe, your fitness to survive will increase immeasurably the day you give up striving and competing, and instead relax and allow life to take its natural course."

"Politicians are a group of people who take your money and the credit while the world changes on its own." "Belief is just a lazy, passive form of doubt. If anything is known, neither is necessary." "If you want to suck other thought collections into your world of delusion, it helps to make up a new buzz-word that is unfamiliar to most thought collections. I note the most recent one is 'vortex'.

"Whoever you are, whatever you are doing, well played! It is turning out to be quite a production this time round!" "If you think positively, you will create a positive future. If you think negatively, you will create a negative future. If you watch thought pass you by with amusement, you will notice that creation has already been created." "If you are good, you will go to heaven. If you are bad, you will go to hell. If you are totally unique and incomparable, you will remain right where you already are." "In a race with no finish line, who is winning?" "I'm a sinner. I'm a saint. Both just a chosen coat of paint." "Freedom has no winners or losers. Just choosers and choosers." "All around you will notice people offering you solutions, thus endlessly perpetuating the arbtrary judgement that there is something wrong, that you or the world is not good enough. A perpetual spiral of judge and fix, judge and fix, judge and fix. You can step out into unconditional Love instantly whenever you like." "If they are in any way genuine, sooner or later the rock on which you stand will remind you that you do not need a rock to stand on." "Courage is the discovery that your opponent is you." "When thoughts and words about Love are overwhelmed by Love, the thoughts and words seem suddenly laughable." "One not free to choose bondage is not free." "Every barrier is self-created." "It matters not how big a dam you build, sooner or later The Flow is going over or round or through." "Before judgement begins, You are." "Without darkness, nothing would be visible. Without light, nothing would be visible." "Emotional suffering arises only if you assume that the emotional weather is personally aimed at you." "The infinite creative passion that gives rise to this universe and countless others. That you are." "Anyone who offers you a system of improvement is helping to perpetuate in you the belief that you or life somehow need to be improved, thus directly preventing instant, effortless unconditional happiness." "The movement from being controlled by 'others' to self-control is like breaking free from Colditz only to lock yourself in your bedroom when you get back home." "Humility is just an subtle form of egotism. Love simply never judges or compares." "Only those who are trying to reach somewhere can become lost." "Here they say consider others before yourself. There they say consider yourself before others. It can be very confusing. The solution, as usual, is radically simple: consider neither."

"Thinking that Love needs your personal intervention to help it spread around is a bit like a fish thinking the Amazon will not reach the ocean unless it wags its fins." "The potential trouble with deliberately trying to practice loving kindness is that so many get it mixed up with ego stroking." "Change will happen whether you pretend to be 'doing it' or not, whether you fight or whether you relax, whether you try to force it or whether you don't, whether you try to stop it or whether you don't." "The judge sees an argument, a battle to see who is right and who is wrong. The non-judge sees a discussion, containing two or more completely free thought choices." "If you leave Life unexplained, nothing bad happens." "If you think you have realised Truth, spend a day trying to write it down. Get yourself a nice little note book and on the front write 'The Truth'. At the end of that day, if you have written anything inside the book, you can be quite sure that you haven't realised Truth." "A moralist creates his own problems and then congratulates himself for fighting with them." "While you are thinking about beauty, you will be missing Wonder. While you are thinking about loving, you will be missing Love. While you are thinking about pleasures, you will be missing Joy. While you are thinking about living, you will be missing Life." "The reactionary is still being controlled by that against which (s)he reacts. Freedom lies beyond rebellion in a place of choiceless awareness."

"If you treat any part of Life as a means to an end, it will only be meaningful when you reach the end. That would be absolutely fine were it not for the fact that Life has no end." "Most people who ask 'what is the purpose of life' really mean 'what is the purpose of MY life'. They thus ensure that the purpose of Life will keep on evading them." "The reason you keep on finding things annoying is because you keep on looking for them." "Consistency is the hallmark of a fixed, closed mind." "Even in the darkest darkness of the night the sun still shines. It is only your narrow point of view that makes it appear otherwise." "If you set out with no fixed plan, you cannot take a wrong turn." "Once you realise that you are not a person separate from the rest of Existence, the idea of gathering knowledge, skills, power, popularity and wealth in order to gain some kind of advantage just becomes absurd. Advantage over what?" "Science and philosophy are always based on assumption. Organised religions (old and new) are based around belief. It amounts to the same thing. Taking a collection of made up thought, pretending it is true and then using it as the basis to explore Existence. Why not just explore existence without pretending made up stuff is true?" "If you get what you want, all will be well. If you do not get what you want, all will be well." "If you decide to pick up the judge's gavel, remember that every blow you strike with it lands on your own head." "It is hardly surprising that another word for 'serious' is 'grave'." "Psychology / psychiatry - the arts of convincing people that something is wrong with them so that they hand over their money for the imaginary remedy." "That person who fills you with awe and admiration is your creation and that person who you really despise is your creation. Both are just aspects of your Self that you are not yet ready to own."

I am not saying do not follow your grand plans, I am saying absolutely do follow them with the carefree and infectious enthusiasm of children playing games."

Same old game, different words." "If your loved one is far away, simply love whoever is near. In no time at all, that love will touch your loved one far away."
