"If you pay careful attention in the midst of your crises,
you will begin to sense a witnessing consciousness,
a wise presence inside of you that could be called
"the one who knows."
This knowing presence is consciousness itself,
present in every moment of your life,
even when it feels far away from you."
~ Jack Kornfield

A Lamp in the Darkness by Jack Kornfield (excerpt) |

You suppose you are the trouble
but you are the cure.
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
but you are the key that opens it.
It’s too bad that you want to be someone else—
You don’t see your own face, your own beauty.
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.
~ Rumi

We may worry about death
but what hurts the soul most
is to live without tasting the water
of its own essence.

To be a teacher does not mean simply to affirm that such a
thing is so, or to deliver a lecture, etc. No, to be a teacher in the right
sense is to be a learner. Instruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from
the learner, put yourself in his place so that you may understand what he
understands and the way he understands it.
~Kierkegaard
