Key Takeaways
- You have to be willing to wake up, to challenge every belief
- The wise guru never tries to wake anybody up
- Clarity of perception leads to accuracy of response
- Life is not the problem. You are the problem. Once you can dissociate, peace and happiness is on the other side.
- You see things not as they are, but as you are. When you change, everything changes
- Understanding your obstacles drops them
- When the heart and mind are unobstructed, you become aware and this leads to love
- You become happy by moment to moment contact with reality
- The ability for self observation is a superpower. To be truly happy. You don’t have to do anything, simply remove. Remove the association with “me” and with the feelings that incurs. The true “I” is the observer, not the me
What I got out of it
- A book worth reading and re-reading! The audible version in this case was amazing since it is de Mello himself speaking and you get such a sense for his joy and personality
