"You re-create the world within your mind because you can control your mind whereas you can't control the world.  That is why you internally verbalize it, judge it, complain about it, and then decide what to do about it.  This makes  you feel more empowered."

~~Pg.12

"...closing your heart does not really protect you from anything; it just cuts you off from your source of energy.  In the end, it only serves to lock you inside."

~~ Pg. 46

"You have to break the habit of thinking that the solution to your problems is to rearrange things outside.  The only permanent solution to your problems is to go inside and let go of the part of you that seems to have so many problems with reality.  Once you do that, you'll be clear enough to deal with what's left."

~~Pg.16

"People don't understand that fear is a thing.  It's just another object in the universe that you are capable of experiencing.  You can do one of two things with fear: you can recognize that you have it and work to release it, or you can keep it and try to hide from it.  Because people don't deal with fear objectively, they don't understand it."

~~Pg.71
