“You watch your mind to see who you are not. I watch my mind to gain a sense of its content, which has always been my pain. As I watch it, I get a sense of its impermanence. Thoughts come and go as part of a process. I see how content dissolves into process and begin to see the patterns in the process. Realizing it isn’t MY suffering, MY pain, it becomes THE pain. I’ve gone from the tiny, the small, and the individual to the universal. I feel OUR pain. When we do, we go from fear to compassion. Fear is MY pain, compassion is THE pain.”
— Stephen Levine

“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.”

“Confusion is primarily emotional reaction that floods the mind with too many areas of choices. Write them down on a piece of paper, positive and negative for each choice. Write them down and cross them out and see what you come out with. If they’re the same, throw a dart. If it hits one you don’t like, you’ll know it and you say, “I didn’t like it.” Then go to the other one you liked anyway.”
— John-Roger
