“One of the major causes of fear is that we do not want to face ourselves as we are. So, as well as the fears themselves, we have to examine the network of escapes we have developed to rid ourselves of them. If the mind, in which is included the brain, tries to overcome fear, to suppress it, discipline it, control it, translate it into terms of something else, there is friction, and that conflict is a waste of energy.” Jiddu Krishnamurti (Freedom from the Known)

“… Whenever we can relate to fear rather from fear, our sense of who we are begins to shift and enlarge. Instead of constructing a tense and embattled self, we can reconnect with our naturally spacious awareness. Instead of being trapped in and defined by our experiences, we can recognize them as a changing stream of thoughts and feelings. In these moments we have awakened from trance.” Tara Brach (The Trance of Fear)

“Kindness, patience and all these other qualities should not be understood as individual acts that we ‘do’, such as an ‘act of kindness’ or ‘patience in the moment.’ Eventually we awaken to the realization that these are graces that reside within us, subtly reshaping an act of kindness into a person of kindness.” Carolyn Myss

“One has to find out the meaning of living, not merely giving an intellectual significance to it, but looking at what it means to live. And one has also to go into this question of what love is, and what it means to die. All this has to be examined in the conscious and the deep, hidden recesses of one’s own mind.” Jiddu Krishnamurti (Flight of the Eagle)

“You need to be able to gather yourself to yourself and have a capacity for solitude before you can turn to someone else and really hear what they have to say. If not, you turn to someone else and you’re projecting onto them who you need them to be for you and you can’t hear who they really are.” Sherry Turkle (Solitude: Are Our Smartphones Trapping Us in Anti-Social Bubbles)
