Not-wanting
"As long as we associate happiness with getting what we want, we've associated it with exactly the opposite thing that makes us happy. Getting what we want doesn't make us happy, not wanting makes us happy."
~from YouTube video Behind the Wanter • Adyashanti
"When there is no desire, all things are at peace."
~Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching chap.37

"Enjoying life is really a matter of choosing to not want something other than what you’ve got. When you stop desiring something more or better, you can begin to enjoy what you have right now."

Innocence
"Look with innocent eyes, very open.
That innocence is always there.
It's a sense of wonder." ~Adyashanti
That innocence is always there.
It's a sense of wonder." ~Adyashanti
"When we are coming from innocence, we are not coming from an idea, a point of view, or a belief." ~Adyashanti
"Innocence is a condition not dependent on age but on attitude. It lives in continual surprise, not knowing how things are supposed to go, not needing them to go a certain way." ~Catherine Ingram
"I know nothing, I want nothing." ~Sri Nisargadatta
"This is certainly not about a denial of anything. If anything, it's the end of denial. It's a life lived without the illusions. Without the mythology. Without the comforting beliefs. Even the belief in Oneness – that goes too. And what you are left with is unconditional love, beyond the concept of it. And you meet the world for the first time. Like a newborn baby." ~Jeff Foster

Already Here
"Actually, all paths lead away from the truth...how's that? All paths. There's no such thing as a path to the truth. The truth's already here, where are you going?" ~Adyashanti
