"The mind thinks of self as separate-the heart knows better." ~Jack Kornfield

"We have only now, only this simple eternal moment opening and unfolding before us, day and night." ~Jack Kornfiel

“We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open.” ~Jack Kornfield, A Path with Heart

"Without being aware of it, you take many things as being your identity: your body, your race, your beliefs, your thoughts." ~Jack Kornfield
"You are a living magnet.You literally attract the things, people, ideas, and circumstances to you that vibrate and resonate at the same energy frequency as yours. Your energy field changes constantly, based on your thoughts and feelings, and the universe acts like a mirror, sending back a reflection of the energy that you are projecting. The stronger and more intense your thoughts and emotions are, the greater the magnetic pull becomes. Now , this is not a process that requires any real effort; a magnet doesn't ''try'' to attract anything-it simple does, and so do you! You are always in the process of attracting something into your life." ~Jack Kornfield
