“Günah kendi doğana karşı yaptığın her şeydir. Kendi varlığına karşı hissettiğin, inandığın ya da söylediğin her şey günahtır. Herhangi bir şey için kendini yargıladığında veya suçladığında kendi karşı olmuş olursun. Günahsız olmak bunun tam zıddıdır. Saflık, arılık (impeccable) kendine düşmanca davranmamaktır. Günahsız olmak demek davranışlarının sorumluluğunu üstlenmek ama kendini yargılamamak ve suçlamamak anlamına gelir.”

“We domesticate humans the same way we domesticate a dog or any other animal: with punishment and reward. This is perfectly normal. What we call education is nothing but domestication of the human being. We are afraid to be punished, but later we are also afraid of not getting the rewards, of not being good enough for Mom or Dad, sibling or teacher. The need to be accepted is born. Before that, we don't care whether we are accepted or not. People's opinions are not important. They are not important because we just want to play and we live in the present. The fear of not getting the reward becomes the fear of rejection. The fear of not being good enough for someone else is what makes us try to change, what makes us create an image. Then we try to project that image according to what they want us to be, just to be accepted, just to have the reward. We learn to pretend to be what we are not...”

“Tanrı için kanıt aramayın. Sadece olun, risk alın ve yaşamınızdan haz alın. Önemli olan budur. Hayır demek istediğinizde hayır deyin. Evet demek istediğinizde evet deyin. Sizin kendiniz olmaya hakkınız var. Ancak yapabileceğinizin en iyisini yaptığınızda kendiniz olursunuz. En iyisini yapmadığınızda, kendiniz olma hakkını elinizden alıyorsunuz.”

“Yaşamak insanların en büyük korkusu. Ölüm, sahip olduğumuz en büyük korku değildir; en büyük korkumuz yaşamak için risk almaktan korkmamızdır. Gerçekte kim olduğumuzu ifade ederek yaşayabilme riskini almaktan korkuyoruz. Sadece kendimiz olarak yaşamaktan korkuyoruz. Hayatımızı, başka insanların taleplerini, beklentilerini karşılamaya çalışarak yaşamayı öğrendik. Başka insanların bakış açılarına uygun olarak yaşamayı öğrendik. Çünkü kabul edilmemekten, başkası için yeterince iyi olamamaktan korkuyoruz.”

“1. Be Impeccable With Your Word Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. 3. Don't Make Assumptions Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. 4. Always Do Your Best Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.”

“True justice is paying only once for each mistake. True injustice is paying more than once for each mistake. How many times do we pay for one mistake? The answer is thousands of times. The human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake. The rest of the animals pay once for every mistake they make. But not us, we have a powerful memory. We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty and we punish ourselves. If justice exists then that was enough. We do not need to do it again. But every time we remember, we judge ourselves again, we are guilty again, and we punish ourselves again and again and again. If we have a wife or husband, he or she also reminds us of the mistake so we can judge ourselves again, punish ourselves again, and find ourselves guilty again. Is this fair? How many times do we make our spouse, our children, or our parents pay for the same mistake? Every time we remember the mistake, we blame them again and send them all the emotional poison we feel at the injustice. And then we make them pay again for the same mistake. Is that justice?”
