“I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am ”
― Cooley, Inscriptions

“Every single time you relax and release, a piece of the pain leaves forever.”
― Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

“Meaning is created when many people weave together a common network of stories. Why does a particular action – such as getting married in church, fasting on Ramadan or voting on election day – seem meaningful to me? Because my parents also think it is meaningful, as do my brothers, my neighbours, people in nearby cities and even the residents of far-off countries. And why do all these people think it is meaningful? Because their friends and neighbours also share the same view. People constantly reinforce each other’s beliefs in a self-perpetuating loop. Each round of mutual confirmation tightens the web of meaning further, until you have little choice but to believe what everyone else believes.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow

“You must be willing to be present right at the place of the tightness and pain, and then relax and go even deeper.”
