More important than giving things away is giving up one’s views and opinions about oneself and the world and about how other people should behave and react, especially those one is close to.

In the traditional analogy, confusion and wisdom are like ice and water, which are both made of the same molecules. The only difference is that ice is frozen and water isn't.

β€œLove has never been a popular movement. The world is held together, really it is held together, by the love and the passion of very few people. Otherwise, of course you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, and look around you. What you’ve got to remember is what you are looking at is also you. Everyone you’re looking at is also you. You could be that person. You could be that monster, you could be that cop. And you have to decide, in yourself, not to be.”

My teacher told me no matter what tension arise or what stories I tell myself just stay with the sense 'I am'. I always did my best and found that in the stillness of simple 'I am' external disturbances would give way to fundamental freedom.

One of the most difficult things to remember is to remember to remember. Awareness begins with remembering what we tend to forget.
