You must want to know the truth more than you want to feel secure in order to fully awaken to the fact that you are nothing but awakeness itself.

If you are new to practice it's important to realize that simply to sit on that cushion for fifteen minutes is a victory. Just to sit with that much composure, just to be there, is fine.

The big realization when we go beyond the ego is simply seeing that we've always been ok.

I dance for no reason, for reasons you can't dance,
Call me an activist of intellectualized circumstance
You can't learn my steps until you unlearn your thoughts Spirit, soul, can't be store-bought

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

The joke of it all is that you are looking from your true nature right now without knowing it. . . . Only a self-concept looks and longs for God. Drop your self-concept and there is only God meeting God. Enlightenment is the restoration of cosmic humor.

There's a light bulb in every one
Bright enough it could swallow the Sun
Every mask will be erased
There is just the original face

Now I don't exist, and neither do you
So you're damned if you don't, and damned if you do
Well, all of this suffering's just a temporary thing
Right here is nirvana where the little crawdads sing

You do not need to fabricate at all. Once you utterly let be, involvement in thoughts of past, present and future subside. By letting be, you are no longer involved in the thoughts of the three times. When utterly letting be, wakefulness is vividly present.

When we’re having a toothache, we know that not having a toothache is a wonderful thing. Yet when we don’t have a toothache, we’re still not happy. A non-toothache is very pleasant.

Do you want to hear the answer?
Are you truly hungry for the answer?
Then you're just the people I want to tell it to
Because it's a rare thing to come upon this
And I'm gonna let you in on it now
The answer, to the mysteries:

Doo-dum-dum-dum-do-doo-dum-dum

Nothing in between our skin and light
Nothing in between the wind and kite
Nothing in between our lips and grace
Nothing in between the tongue and taste
Nowhere to hide in the open Reality
Love is so wide there isn’t a boundary
Only one eye without any enemy
When you’ve seen in between

What we awaken to when we awaken: finding we’re part of everything, finding in some sense it’s all empty, finding that it’s all arising right now, that we’re inseparable from it, and all creatures and all creation is participating in it.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

In reality, which means in our actual experience, all experience is one seamless substance. The duality between the inside self and the outside object, world or other is never actually experienced. It is always imagined.
