Who Cares If You're Enlightened

Depression, Pain, And Fear Are Gifts That Say, "sweetheart, Take A Look At Your Thinking In This Moment. You're Living In A Story That Isn't True For You." Living A Lie Is Always Stressful. And Investigating A Lie Through The Work Always Leads You Back To Who You Are. Who You Are Is Not An Option. You Are Love. It Hurts To Believe You're Other Than Who You Are, To Live Any Story Less Than Love.

If I Think The Environment In The World Needs To Be Cleaned Up, Let Me Clean Up My Own Environment. Let Me Clean Up The Environment In My Head - Let Me Work With That Pollution And That Ecosystem.

A Lover Of What Is Looks Forward To Everything: Life, Death, Disease, Loss, Earthquakes, Bombs, Anything The Mind Might Be Tempted To Call 'bad.' Life Will Bring Us Everything We Need, To Show Us What We Haven't Undone Yet. Nothing Outside Ourselves Can Make Us Suffer. Except For Our Unquestioned Thoughts, Every Place Is Paradise.

Every (stressful Thought) Is A Variation On A Single Theme: This Shouldn't Be Happening. I Shouldn't Be Having This Experience. God Is Unjust. Life Isn't Fair.

Nothing Belongs To Me. Everything Comes And Goes. Serenity Is An Open Door.
