Our True Selves

Each one of us has to be our true self: fresh, solid, at ease, loving and compassionate.

When we are our true selves, not only you, but everyone around you, will profit from your presence.

Just like a beautiful tree: if the tree is anything but a tree we will all be in trouble.

All Suffering Is Rooted in Thought

BKThe thought is the cause, and the feeling is the effect.

We believe a thought, we assume that the thought is true, and then we act on it.

Anger, depression, addictions, sadness, words that hurt others and ourselves, actions that are selfish or unkind, are the effects that we must suffer as believers. Mind is the cause of it all.

~ Byron Katie
