More Quotes by Ken Keyes Jr.
The only real problem in your life is how you're using your mind.
You add to the suffering in the world when you take offense, just as much as you do when you give offense.
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.
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.
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.
As we grow in higher consciousness, we discover that it is more important to be the right person then to find the right person.
A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world.
The past is dead; The future is imaginary; Happiness can only be in the Eternal Now Moment.
If you want those around you to act in a more loving and conscious manner, act in a way that helps them to do so.
I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.
