More Expectations

Expecting a monumental change as a result of your work and insight is exactly why it never seems to come.

Responsibility

Ultimately each of us is responsible for our own spiritual condition. It is a mistake to place that responsibility upon another, whether they invite it or not.

Knowing Reality

How will you ever know Reality in its pure, everlasting beauty when you insist on defining it with your own ideas?

Learning

Take more seriously the experience of the fool, than the wisdom of the scholar.

Being Hard on Yourself

Being hard on yourself is being high on yourself.

Dissatisfaction

Dissatisfaction is a cause, not a result.

The False Self

The false self is highly adaptive, it will take on any face that it can own- even a spiritual-looking face.
