Stand in your own two shoes.

You just do it, then if you die, you die.

Easy to be a critic; hard to be a quarterback.

I loved Enso Roshi’s teachings. I loved learning about life. I loved life. It was a good thing to feel. I loved life, and I loved learning, and I was still learning. I was not,...

I am not alone, in my aloneness.

We find what’s in our own heads.

My belief is the belief of no beliefs. That’s my belief.

Is it love, or is it attachment? Do you want to love her, or do you want to control her?

You necessarily have to be lost, before you’re found.

And could you, from a place of love, actually stand up and, use force, to give someone back, the suffering, they were trying to put on you? Would I do it? Maybe it would even...

To love, and be loved, this is the greatest challenge that any of us face in our lives.

Why hold secrets? Why harbor anything? Let me just share everything with you. Let me just talk. Let me let go of the censor that is within me … I’m tired of trying to be...

If you go to war with your mind, you will always be at war.

Let one who seeks not stop seeking until that person finds.

You had to break, to be unbroken. In the brokenness, I had found, that which was unbroken. That which was perfect, and beautiful, and complete.

Hatred never ceases with hatred, but with love alone is healed.

You will bring yourself the suffering you need to bring yourself so that you may awaken.

As you think and act, so your world becomes.

What was meaningful? What was meaningless? What did it mean, to amount to something? What type of life, was worth living? Was it better, to make a ton of money, and have a fucking goddamn...

To hate the hate was just more hate; to reject the rejection was just more rejection; to judge the judging, just more judging.

I don’t know where I’m going on this path. I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. You had to be lost, before you could be found. These are the truths. You had to...

There is some fiction, in all fact; and some fact, in all fiction.

Orange Juice? Sure. Toast? Sure. One last time on the couch? Sure. Phone number? Sure. See you again? Oooh, absolutely. That was the lie I told. Probably not, that was the truth, that was that...

Life gives you exactly what you need to awaken.

Do you want love, or do you want control?

It is all, the unfolding. Neither good nor bad, my destiny.

Can you allow yourself to be impaled on the present moment?

There were so many beliefs which we had about the world, which then influenced everything, everything, about how we saw the world and interacted in the world and were with others. Everything. It was profound...

Maybe it’s a question, to be lived.

When you love yourself, utterly and completely, all of yourself, what you will discover then is that you love others, all others, utterly and completely.

Let whatever happens, be what needs to happen, so that I may awaken.

I have the certainty, now, of not needing certainty. I have the certainty, of uncertainty. The peace, with being uncertain. All is good. All is holy. Whatever you choose, it can be fine. Hatred never...

Nobody ever gets to nirvana without going through samsara. Nobody ever gets to heaven, without going through hell. The center of all things, the truth, is surrounded by demons.

This would be a secret that I would carry with me, until the day I died.

The way is not clear, and it is when you do not have clarity, when this is allowed, that you will finally have clarity.

Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and pain, fame and disripute, these are just the worldly winds of existence.

We come to the end of suffering, through suffering.

I feel so trapped, by my ego.

Nothing needs to be done, and things get done.

It is only path bending. Don’t let it be mind bending.

Success doesn’t come to you; you go to it.

To love one’s self, this is the greatest challenge we are all called to face.

The mind is limitless, in its creations.
