The mind is a garden of many beds; whichever area your awareness waters with energy grows stronger, so control where your awareness goes.
Hateful online comments come from souls at a lower point in their evolution; understand where they are, and there's no need to react.
Worry is awareness going into the future to dwell on a problem that hasn't happened; mastering where your awareness goes is the cure.
Complete detachment isn't the goal—refine what you attach to. Nurture attachments that lift your awareness and release those that pull it down.
Everyone asks how to get more energy. That is the wrong first question. Your body and mind are a bucket — and before you pour anything in, you plug the holes.
Intuition comes from the superconscious, not the thinking mind—it feels calm, clear, and certain, with no emotional charge, fear, or need to convince you.
Anger, joy, jealousy, happiness — every state of mind is a room in a vast mansion. You are not the mind. You are awareness moving through it, and you can choose the room.
You can choose which room of your mind to occupy—moving awareness from worry to gratitude is a skill of concentration and willpower you can train.
The moments just before sleep and just after waking are two of the most powerful windows in your day—guide your awareness through them deliberately.
The superconscious mind — the source of intuition and creativity — is reached one way: by holding awareness in a state of unwavering focus long enough to truly experience it.
Whatever you give your awareness to grows within you; a constant diet of fear-based news cultivates anxiety, so be discerning about what you allow into your mind.
