“Transformation is the art of allowing our essential nature, as body-mind-spirit, to manifest completely and freely without conflict and fixation. It is the art of freeing the whole person, body and all. It is not the willful attempt to change who and what we are, but the art of becoming who we are.”

“Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us. So do not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light cloud-shadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. Why do you want to shut out of your life any agitation, any pain, any melancholy, since you really do not know what these states are working upon you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question whence all this may be coming and whither it is bound? If there is anything morbid in your processes, just remember that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself of foreign matter … for that is its progress. You are the doctor too, who has to watch over himself.”

“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.”
Lao Tzu

“There is no one torturing you except yourself. There is nobody except yourself; your whole life is your work - your creation. Once you grasp this, things start changing … transforming. You can play at changing your hell into heaven, or, if you are in love with misery, create as much as you wish.”

“Life is not a struggle; the only struggle is your resistance to allowing reality to be exactly as it is. Struggles would disappear if you could allow the comings and goings of life flow through you with the trust that everything that is happening to you is for your best interest, even if you can’t see it right now. Allowing reality to be exactly as it is - this is the first step towards transformation.”

“When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.”
