Contrary to Hamlet, “To be, or not to be” isn’t the question. “To be” is the question, all by itself. If you ask it every day, your true self will hear and then present fascinating, ever-changing answers. Engaged in finding out what it means to be here, you transform your mind from its old conditioning into a vehicle that can reach the beyond.

anything you see around you—an elm tree, a Belgian chocolate bar, a church, or a cemetery—acquires meaning because your mind gives it meaning.

“Self” is a convenient fiction, lumping together a jumble of beliefs, experiences, old conditioning, and secondhand opinions.

Reality is much more malleable than anyone supposes. Most of the limitations that you feel are imposed on you personally are actually self-imposed.

Existence is divided between things we do and things that take care of themselves. Therefore, some part of you is already living without making choices.
