Notes

Because every conditioning works through thoughts. If you feel you are a Hindu, what is it? -- a cluster of thoughts
given to you when you were not even aware of what was being given to you. Only in meditation thoughts dissolve
-- all thoughts. You become thought-less. In that thought-less state of mind there is no conditioning: you are no
longer a Hindu, nor a Christian, nor a Communist, nor a Fascist. You are no longer anybody -- you are simply
yourself. For the first time all conditioning has been dropped. You are out of the prison. Only meditation can
uncondition you. osho

we can rediscover the love within us by utilizing the mechanism of surrender and, thus, letting go of the clouds of
negativity. By rediscovering this inner love, we rediscover the true source of happiness. D. Hawkins

The Ego, however, is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you
are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in
fear. deeapk chopra

Inside of us, but out of awareness, is the truth that I already know everything I need to know. This happens
automatically. Hawkins

Beware of your thoughts and emotions as they happen. It is an alert seeing. When a shift from thinking to
awareness happens, an intelligence far greater than the ego's cleverness begins to operate in your life

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is
taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't
bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more
and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point
where you actually experience the miraculous.

Be like a noble horse - smart, aware, watchful. BURN AND BE SWIFT. If you are aware.... Awareness is fire; it
burns all that is wrong in you. It burns your ego. It burns your greed, it burns your possessiveness, it burns your
jealousy - it burns all that is wrong and negative, and it enhances all that is beautiful, graceful, divine. And when
the gross and the ugly are burned, a great sharpness happens to your being, a great swiftness comes to your life, a
great intensity and passion, a great totality and wholeness.

Nonresistance is the key to the greatest power in the universe

Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They
come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you. Eckhart Tolle

As we become more aware, we begin to realize that we have a choice. We can stop giving authority to all the
minds thoughts, begin to question them, and find out if there is really any truth in them for ourselves.
Look at the resistances to the process of surrendering itself. Are there any negative thoughts, doubts, or feelings
about your ability to do the technique? Let all of these resistances come up, accept them, and let them go. Clarify
your intention to become a happier, more loving and peaceful person.

The impossible becomes possible as soon as we are totally surrendered.

Mastery of life is the opposite of control. You become aligned with the greater consciousness. It acts, speaks, does
the works.

Surrender is a constant process of not resisting or clinging to the moment but instead, continuously turning it over
to God. The attention is thus focused on the process of letting go and not on the content of the what that is being
surrendered.

Love, joy, and peace are deep states of Being or rather three aspects of the state of inner connectedness with
Being. As such, they have no opposite. This is because they arise from beyond the mind.

It is very common for people who use the letting go technique suddenly to come into abundance. Struggling actors
now have starring roles in Hollywood. A playwright on the edge of poverty becomes the producer of a smash
Broadway hit.
