More Quotes by Ken Keyes Jr.
Life is warning you to get rid of an addiction every time you are emotionally uncomfortable in any way.
The past is dead; The future is imaginary; Happiness can only be in the Eternal Now Moment.
You always have enough to be happy. It's the patterns in your head that make you unhappy.
You add to the suffering in the world when you take offense, just as much as you do when you give offense.
You should always be aware that your head creates your world.
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.
I am freeing myself from security, sensation and power addictions that make me try to forcefully control situations in my life and thus destroy my serenity and keeps me from loving myself and others.
You stop viewing yourself as being "pushed around" by the world when you realize that only you can "push" yourself. To quote Buddha: "Nothing is upsetting you. You get upset because you are upsettable."
By tuning in to the ocean of loving energy around you, you can have far more security, enjoyable sensations, effectiveness, and love than you would ever need in order to live a continuously beautiful life.
Think of the world as a loving place that is designed to give you everything that you need.
