“The philosopher Descartes believed he had found the most fundamental truth when he made his famous statement: "I think, therefore I am." He had, in fact, given expression to the most basic error: to equate thinking with Being and identity with thinking. The compulsive thinker, which means almost everyone, lives in a state of apparent separateness, in an insanely complex world of continuous problems and conflict, a world that reflects the ever-increasing fragmentation of the mind.”

“For love to flourish, the light of your presence needs to be strong enough so that you no longer get taken over by the thinker or the pain-body and mistake them for who you are. To know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy underneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.”

“You cannot love your partner one moment and attack him or her the next. True love has no opposite. If your "love" has an opposite, then it is not love but a strong ego-need for a more complete and deeper sense of self, a need that the other person temporarily meets. It is the ego's substitute for salvation, and for a short time it almost does feel like salvation.
But there comes a point when your partner behaves in ways that fail to meet your needs, or rather those of your ego. The feelings of fear, pain, and lack that are an intrinsic part of egoic consciousness but had been covered up by the "love relationship" now resurface.”

“One must be present, fully and deeply, in the garden of the now. In this state of presence, the ego’s chatter can be heard, acknowledged, and understood for what it is – not the entirety of our being, but a part of our human experience. It is in this mindful acknowledgment that the ego is gently guided to take its rightful place as a servant to the essence, no longer the master of our destinies.”

“Just as the sun is forever pursued by shadows, so too is our purpose chased by an unending flurry of distractions. They are the specters of our existence, conjured by the ceaseless clatter of the world, whispering tales of urgency and importance that often bear no relevance to our true path.”
