"One of those books that came into my life at an appropriate time.
We already know how to let go--we do it every night when we go to sleep, and that letting go, like a good night's sleep, is delicious. Opening in this way, we can live in the reality of our wholeness. A little letting go brings us a little peace, a greater letting go brings us a greater peace. Entering the gateless gate, we begin to treasure the moments of wholeness. We begin to trust the natural rhythm of the world, just as we trust our own sleep and how our own breath breathes itself. p.104"
"In the last few years, I've come to believe that my unhappiness is caused by my thoughts, and who knows where they come from? So most mornings I read a section of one of several books that express this idea in different ways. The topic of these books, for want of a better word, is enlightenment. The books are: A New Earth; A Thousand Names for Joy; Awareness; After the Ecstasy, the Laundry; and Experience and Philosophy. When I read them, my anxious catastrophic thoughts about the past and future subside, and my day goes better. Simple as that. Some of the books I haven't finished yet, but I am endlessly reading them. I will post this same review for all of these books."
