Love is not what we become but who we already are.
Stephen Levine
[D]etachment means letting go and nonattachment means simply letting be. (95)
Stephen Levine
[D]on’t cling to your self-righteous suffering, let it go. . . . Nothing is too good to be true, let yourself be forgiven. To the degree you insist that you must suffer, you insist on the suffering of others as well. (90)
Stephen Levine
Simply touching a difficult memory with some slight willingness to heal begins to soften the holding and tension around it. (74)
Stephen Levine
Letting ourselves be forgiven is one of the most difficult healings we will undertake. And one of the most fruitful. (79)
Stephen Levine
Often when we hear people speak about meditation, we hear about wisdom, we hear about knowledge. But what, actually, is the effect, what’s the use, of wisdom or knowledge? Understanding. When you understand mind, you’re not at its mercy. When you don’t understand, you’re lost in the midst of it.
Stephen Levine
The mind is a useful tool but not a very good friend.
Stephen Levine
Until we find out who was born this time around, it seems irrelevant to seek earlier identities. I have heard many people speak of who they believe they were in previous incarnations, but they seem to have very little idea of who they are in this one. . . . Let’s take one life at a time. Perhaps the best way to do that is to live as though there were no afterlife or reincarnation. To live as though this moment was all that was allotted. (132)
