When we straightaway believe what we think, or act on what we think, then we create the determinate reality which is the projection of what we think. When we always believe in what we think, or always translate our thoughts...

The situation where we are exclusively relating to our own projections (in place of actual reality) is a profoundly sterile one - no change could ever take place here, no matter how long we stick at it. No change can...

We are whatever it is that we are and that’s all we can say about it. There's no need therefore for us to try to get ourselves to be any particular way. To say that ‘we are whatever we are’...

When we try to fix ourselves, mental health-wise, this is The Way of Error. The reason trying to fix our own mental health is 'the way of error' is because it is guaranteed to make things worse for ourselves not...

It is in one way something of a cliche to say that the most important need we have in life is the need for meaning, the need for our lives to be actually meaningful to us. It is perfectly true...
