“Can the universe not be on my side? It is not possible. It can only be possible if there are fundamentally two beings in the infinite vastness of the One. But there are not. There is only the infinite vastness of the One, expressing itself, so it is always on its own side.” ~ Bentinho Massaro

“Dismantling the ego, quieting the mind, isn’t something you can actively undertake to do. It just happens on its own, when you consciously accept the moment you are in, when you don’t fight the present reality with thoughts of how you’d like it to be otherwise, or what you’re afraid the next moment might bring, when you don’t resist with justification or regret or blame of self or other.” ~ Jan Frazier

“It is very important for the sake of your own well-being that you are able to stand your ground vibrationally. If you let skeptics and less liberated people’s ideas convince you of their reality, you have just handed over your power to create an amazing life to those world views with which you don’t resonate to begin with. Don’t accept any idea that does not seem absolutely exhilarating to you.” ~ Bentinho Massaro

“Circumstances take their cue from your beliefs, so if your belief system says that your beliefs should take their cue from your circumstances, then you are stuck in an infinite reflection loop that does not change very much; your world won’t budge.” ~ Bentinho Massaro

“Life is made already. There is nothing to be done. Nothing need be done to make a life into fruit–delicious, drippy fruit. … Eat it. Let it drip all over you. You cannot touch anything that it does not get all over. You cannot open your mouth that it does not pour out.” ~ Jan Frazier

“Fearlessness is a flimsy commodity if it depends upon a known outcome.” ~ Jan Frazier

“Fear comes into being when I desire a particular pattern.  To live without fear means to live without a particular pattern.”  Jiddu Krishnamurti

“Fear exists so long as there is an accumulation of the known, which creates the fear of losing.  Therefore fear of the unknown is really fear of losing the accumulated known.”  Jiddu Krishnamurti

“Be the silent watcher of your thoughts and behavior.  You are beneath the thinker.  You are the stillness beneath the mental noise.  You are the love and joy beneath the pain.”  Eckhart Tolle

“Any movement of the mind, positive or negative, is an experience which actually strengthens the ‘me’.  Is it possible for the mind not to recognize?  That can only take place when there is complete silence, but not the silence which is an experience of the self and which therefore strengthens the self.”  Jiddu Krishnamurti
