More Quotes by Ken Keyes Jr.
We see things not as they are, but as we are. Your addictions distort how you process the enormous flow of information that is constantly flooding in through all of your sensory inputs.
It is only your mental habits and your selected memories of how you think things are that keep you from moulding things in your life in a more harmonious way.
The past is dead; The future is imaginary; Happiness can only be in the Eternal Now Moment.
We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have.
Giving up an addiction means re-programming that part of your brain that makes you restless and unhappy if a desire is not realized.
You always have enough to be happy. It's the patterns in your head that make you unhappy.
The love and peace of higher consciousness flow from just being - and enjoying it all. Anything you do will not be enough unless you feel fulfilled in just being. Usually we are not happy when we find doing whatever it is that we think we have to do. Doing creates expectations that your world and the people around you may or may not fit. The things we do disappear in time. We must learn to appreciate just being alive in the nowness of whatever situation we are in.
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'.
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.
You can always create your own experience of life in a beautiful and enjoyable way if you keep your love turned on within you- regardless of what other people say or do.
