Some insight on some books that I have read that I would like to share with you. -the difference between "happiness is nowhere" and "happiness is now here" has something to do with the event, and everything to do with the event. Your perception is key. -Now has enough wisdom to last you forever, because within you, right now, there is all the wisdom you listen for in others. Now has enough love to last you a lifetime, because within you, right now, there is the love you continually cry out for. Now has enough peace to last you an eternity, because within you, right now, peace of mind is one thought away at most. And now has enough joy to outlast the world, because within you, right now, the joy you chase is not in things--it is in you. -Just like the ugly duckling we're afraid we're not good enough, wrong, bad, and nothing: and just like the ugly duckling, we'll eventually learn that this isn't true. -truth is within ourselves, it takes no rise from outward things, whatever you may believe. There is an inner centre in us all where truth abides in fullness; and around wall upon wall the gross flesh hems it in that perfect clear perception which is truth. A baffling and perverting carnal mesh binds all and makes all error, but to know rather consists in finding out a way. For the imprisoned splendour to escape. Than in achieving entry for a light supposed to be without. -know love; no fear know joy; no pain know light; no darkness know wholeness; no dis-ease know now; no past know truth; no lies know God; no separation know self; no other - to love is to suffer. to avoid suffering one must not live, but then one suffers from not loving. therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. to be happy is to love. to be happy, then, is to suffer. but suffering makes one unhappy. therefore, to be unhappy, one must love or love to suffer. or suffer from too much happiness. -forgiveness is the choice for wholeness.
