“Don’t seek happiness.  If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness.  Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing ‘what is’ rather than making up stories about ‘what is’.  Unhappiness covers up your natural state of well-being and inner peace, the source of true happiness.”   Eckhart Tolle

“Inner space consciousness and who you are in your essence are one and the same.  And it is from inner space, the unconditioned consciousness itself, that true happiness, the joy of Being, emanates.”   Eckhart Tolle

“Truth is simple and open to all.  Why do you complicate it?  Truth is loving and lovable.”   Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“How much more natural and in keeping with your deeper instincts it is to act out of love than to act out of fear or greed or anger.  Indeed, it is unnatural to act from our wounds and, so, to wound others merely because we are hurting – – unnatural because we are yielding to the power of our shadow instead of the power of Light.”   Carolyn Myss

“No one can demonstrate peace and cling to unhappiness.”   Ernest Holmes

“The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it.  It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.”   Brené Brown

“Awareness is like the sun.  When it shines on things, all else will also subside.”   Thich Nhat Hanh

“I am happy tonight, united with the Friend.  Free from the pain of separation, I whirl and dance with the Beloved.  I tell my heart, ‘Do no worry, the key to the morning I’ve thrown away’.”   Rumi

“The voice of integrity, the voice of your spirit, is always speaking to you even when you don’t want to listen. And that voice is saying, ‘I love you’.”   don Miguel Ruiz

“Clouds pass by, feeling pass by, thoughts pass by – – but what in us does not pass by?  Do you see That One?  Can you say Its Name?”   Ken Wilbur
