More Quotes by Ken Keyes Jr.
As we grow in higher consciousness, we discover that it is more important to be the right person then to find the right person.
By tuning in to your minute-to-minute stream of consciousness, you discover the addictions that make you worried, anxious, resentful, uptight, afraid, angry, bored, etc. You thus use every uncomfortable emotion as an opportunity for consciousness growth. Even though you may still be feeling emotional and uptight, you begin to get at the roots of your ups and downs - your brief bits of pleasure and your long periods of unhappiness.
Watch your own body and mind, and the people and things surrounding you, from the deep, calm place inside of you. When you do that you'll have insights as to what you need to do in order to flow with the river of life around you.
Life goes by rapidly. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Don't wait until you have some spare time. Don't wait until the time's 'right'.
You always have enough to be happy. It's the patterns in your head that make you unhappy.
A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world.
To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.
Lots of people look for happiness through sensations, whether it's through sex, the taste of food, the sound of music, the sensations of movies and plays, creating a certain environment in their home, and so on. Looking for happiness through sensations keeps you constantly searching for the next "fix" and for more varied sensations. Sensations become addictions, and nothing is ever enough.
The only real problem in your life is how you're using your mind.
Conscious people always have a choice of whether to try to modify the actions of people around them or to change their response to the incoming stimuli.
