Byron Katie: Explore Your Thoughts
Below is an abridged version of an excerpt from Byron Katie’s book Loving What Is, in which she presents her method known as The Work. In it, she explains how to use the power of inquiry to examine the truth about the thoughts that cause us suffering. Although presented here in a highly condensed form, […]

Meet your thoughts with understanding
“A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It is not our thoughts, but the attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring. A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years. Most people think that they are what their thoughts […]

Whose Business Are You In?
“I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours, and God’s. (For me, the word God means “reality.” Reality is God, because it rules. Anything that’s out of my control, your control, and everyone else’s control—I call that God’s business.) Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our […]

The formula for walking on water
“Long, long ago there lived a man devoted to learning. He had dedicated his entire life to the pursuit of knowledge, and a large part of it was mystical knowledge. One day, this learned man was walking along the bank of a river. Suddenly he heard a loud voice that interrupted his reflections. He listened […]

The Fateful Connection with Our Ancestors
““The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents.” C. G. Jung Below I share a quotation from Jung’s Autobiography, in which he comments on the same theme, namely that in the deeper layers of our psychic unconscious the connection with our ancestors is more alive than ever. It lives […]

Osho: Your Roots Are Still in God
“A Frenchman was crossing the desert with his Arab guide. Days passed, and not a single day went by without the Arab kneeling on the burning sand to call upon his God. Finally, one evening, the unbeliever asked the Arab: ‘How did you come to know that there is a God?’ The guide glanced at […]

If you cannot fight with your beloved
“If you cannot fight with your beloved, if you cannot be angry, then the authenticity of love is lost… If I am angry and I suppress my anger, then when I love, the suppressed anger is present, and this deadens my love. If I have not been true in my anger, in my rage, I […]

Mary Stevenson: Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the […]
From Osho: “Every reaction is unconscious. If you are aware, you never react; you act. Action is conscious; reaction is unconscious. First of all, the nature of activity and the hidden currents within it must be understood; otherwise no relaxation is possible. Even if you want to relax, it will not be possible unless you […]

C.G.Jung: The Sacrifice and The Reward
After the publication of his book Symbols of Transformation (originally Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido), through which he revealed his differences with Freud, Jung was publicly rejected and criticized. About this period of his life he writes: “After the break with Freud, all my friends and acquaintances withdrew. My book was declared rubbish. I was […]
