Chasing After A Pleasure To

Being Anxious, Or In A Painful Rush Of Any Kind, Kills The Possibility Of Meeting Anyone With Compassion

The Belief That You Have No Choice But To Keep Suffering Through Whatever Frightens You Is Like Believing You Have To Hold Onto A Scalding Cup So That You Won't Spill Your Coffee!

Believing That Anxious Thoughts And Feelings Can Restore Order To Your Life Is Like Using A Chain-saw To Fold Your Laundry.

Within The Human Being There Exists Both The Needful And The Needed. You Know That The Needful Exists In You. Your Own Dissatisfaction Tells You So. But You Believe The Needed Is Somewhere Outside Of You.

Real Prayer, The Soul-transformi Ng Kind, Is Self-discontinu Ity. It Is A Conscious Act Of Self-suspension Arising From The Wish For Something New To Occur.
