“Ego is an addiction to thinking that creates a false sense of self, an attachment to self, a relentless I can’t let go of self. I will not. It’s painful and I can’t stop and I won’t. I know what I’m doing. I can handle it.
And you can’t.”
– James Wood, Gratitude
“In the simple willingness to see yourself, in the simple truthfulness of sincerity, the truth starts to reveal ourselves to ourselves. It’s not necessarily a technique-oriented endeavor, here. The technique is sincerity. We really need to want the Truth. We need to want the truth even more than we want to experience the truth. And this sincerity isn’t something that we can impose, it’s inherent within Reality itself. There is a radical sincerity in self-honesty and simplicity.”
–Adyashanti, The End of Your World
