"Many people are tricked by their own Qi in the same way that I was. One of my teachers, perhaps the best I have met at Tao: Fang Zhong Shu, explained that when he engages in sexual contact or intercourse with a woman, he is not looking at their mind or their bodies, he is "dealing directly with the yin energy within them" which he "worships" as a "goddess". That is to say, from my perspective, that he is cognisant and present in the reality of what is going on, the subtle "transaction" behind the scenes, which our psyches delude us into believing is about something else. That is not to say that you cannot or do not love a person who you are in a committed relationship with. Indeed, you very well might! But that is something very different than what happens when you are first attracted to a woman. You can choose to believe this or not, the reality doesn't change based upon what you convince yourself of. True love of an individual is something that takes time and cultivation, just as true power takes many decades of cultivation."

Essa Confiança Remove Qualquer Semente de Dúvida
"Às vezes você dá um passo em direção à confiança e diz: "Ok, eu vou confiar!" Então resolve seguir os comandos do coração, mas se alguma coisa não acontece da maneira como imagina, você se frustra e novamente deixa de confiar. Ocasionalmente faz parte do aprendizado da confiança quebrar a perna, porque para se libertar do medo e crescer em auto-confiança você precisa viver uma experiência como essa. E a verdade é que não há garantia nenhuma de que as coisas sempre serão como você espera. Faz parte do aprendizado da confiança correr riscos. Então aos poucos você chega num lugar de confiança interna no qual as dúvidas se encerram e você tem certeza de estar no lugar certo, mesmo que tudo pareça estar errado. Essa é a verdadeira confiança, aquele que independente do que está acontecendo no mundo externo, pois ela vem de dentro. Essa confiança remove qualquer semente de dúvida e providencia para que todas as suas necessidades sejam atendidas. Ela liberta seu sistema do medo, especialmente do medo da escassez."

To Be Authentic
"It's easier to hold your principles 100% of the time than 98%.
An individual crab is extremely effective at escaping almost any trap. However, a very simple trap can be used to catch large groups of crab.
Here's how it works: inside of each open-top trap sits a pile of crab feed. The first crab to happen upon the feed enters and enjoys the spoils. The second crab sees his feasting colleague and joins him for the partaking. The third and fourth crab follow suit. Soon, dozens and dozens of crabs have entered the trap and lingered, even after all the food is gone.
Here's the catch: if one crab chooses to exit the cage and looks for food elsewhere, it is challenged by its mates. While trying to crawl out of the trap, the other crabs will pull it back down. If this brave fellow persists, the others will break off its claws. If it persists further, the group will kill it.
Sadly, humans are not too different. We all have extreme egos. We don't like seeing others succeed beyond our own perceived abilities. We prefer when other fail or, at least, fall behind us in the peloton of society. We've created collective barriers in our language, actions and even thoughts which maintain the status quo.
Rejection and ridicule are real barriers. To be authentic is to be vulnerable. Visions and goals are regularly shot down and considered absurd."

It's How Much of You is Doing It
"Things are going to happen to you and you're going to feel the tendency to close. But you have the choice to either go with it or let it go. Your mind will tell you that it's not reasonable to stay open when these things happen. But you have limited time left in your life, and what's really not reasonable is to not enjoy life.
If you have trouble remembering that, then meditate. Meditation strengthens your center of consciousness so that you are always aware enough to not allow your heart to close. You remain open by simply letting go and releasing the tendency to close. You just relax your heart when it starts to tighten."
"The beauty of deep truths is that you don't have to change your life; you just change how you live your life. It's not what you're doing, it's how much of you is doing it."
"Life itself is your career and your interaction with life is your most meaningful relationship. Everything else you're doing is just focusing on a tiny subset of life in the attempts to give life some meaning. What actually gives life meaning is the willingness to live it. It isn't any particular event; it's the willingness to experience life's events."

Novel Ways
"I think that physics is about escaping the prison of the received thoughts and searching for novel ways of thinking the world, about trying to clear a bit the misty lake of insubstantial dreams, which reflect reality like the lake reflects the mountains."

You've Already Arrived
"The eight patients we brought down to the Amazon were extremely sick, but on a soul level, the core problems they were working to resolve were nothing different from those we all experience in our own lives: attachment to our story, detachment to our true selves, stagnation due to stale patterns of thought that aren't serving us, fear of what others might think, fear of who we truly are inside, aversion to being vulnerable, lack of trust in ourselves and others, and ultimately, fear of the impermanence of it all - that is, fear of death.
The good news is that these seemingly toxic orientations toward our reality are 100 percent human. The tough news is that they must be acknowledged, understood, and dissolved in order for us to be healthy and benefit from the underlying wisdom they hold.
We can go to the ends of the earth to work on these things, but unless we as individuals are willing to show up right now and make the choice to be good to ourselves and do what we know is in alignment with our highest ideals, there isn't a shaman in the world who can save us."
"...cultivate patience. Slow down and relax into the experience you're currently having. The medicine will find you when it's ready."
"Stepping into the path itself is your solace. If you are on it, you've already arrived."
"This entire framework is centered on the shamanic principle that everything is medicine. It doesn't matter how painful, terrifying, or unpleasant the experience is - the master has learned how to transform these externalities into wisdom and fuel for greater spaciousness and compassion."
"- Dad, what is God?
- God is the big bright light that we all came from and that we're all going to.
- Like the moon?
- Kind of, but different. God is the light that we all have inside us that makes us who we are.
- You mean like love?
- Yes! God is love.
Hes stares into my eyes for a good minute saying nothing, transmitting something I'll never be able to categorize or give name to.
His eyes widen and he lets out a giggle that quickly morphs into a yawn.
- Good night, Dad. I'm going to leave my light on, ok?"

Be Your Truth
"Remember who you are doing this work for and why. You're willing to do whatever it takes to evolve and become the clear and loving person you were born into this world to be. This is why you are on this path - to dissolve the illusion, mend the wounds, and be your truth. Don't ever forget that.
When the fear comes, remember that you chose this. You are brave - that is your gift - but so is introspection, which is a cousin of self-doubt. Only you can choose which of these gifts you want to feed and when."
"The world is full of unknowns, but the one thing you can determine amid it all is how you are going to relate to yourself.
Never forget that you are your own strongest ally."
