Deconstruction, Pain, and Peace
The End of the Search, but Not the End of the Journey
The Word “I” Is a Tool for Communication—Nothing More
Set Time for Writing Down Thoughts on Paper Every Day
Your Best Guides Are Fear and Resistance—and Excitement
How Do You Know You’re Infected?
Thinking Is Not the Same as Looking
Expectations Are Like Clouds That Cover the Sunshine
Concepts, Words, and Stories Are Not What They Seem
What Happens When You Simply Look?
Belief Is Composed of Thoughts About Thoughts
Thank Thoughts, Don’t Fight Them
Shoulds, Should Nots, and Wants
The Description Is Not the Experience
Resistance and Frustration Are Our Friends
“Thank You” Is the Magic Phrase
Listening Deeply to What the Mind and the Heart Have to Say
Step One: Clearing the Path—Meeting the Fear
Step Two: Strip Away All Expectations
Step Three: Get in Touch with the Real
Step Four: “I” Is a Thought—Thought Does Not Think
Step Five: There Is No Separate Self at All in Reality
Step Six: How Does It Feel to Crash the Gateless Gate?
The End of the Search, but Not the End of Our Exploring
Some Things Change Quickly, Others May Take Longer
