Memorable Quotes
-
“Take a moment or two and focus your attention very lightly on whaterver issue you have chosen to work on. Suspend all effort to solve anything about that issue. In fact, take the position that any knowledge you presently have about it is either incomplete or getting in the way of a resolution. Be in beginer's mind, letting it be okay to not know. - p.56”
-
“A child's emotions are very strong, very immediate, and undifferentiated. Get ice cream: happy. Take ice cream away: tragic. There's no in-between; more refinement only comes with experience over time, with the brain growing and refining itself. - p.99”
-
“"There's a Hebrew word, shichlul, that describes the role the Nine Essentials play in upgrading our brains and enhancing our vitality. It is roughly translated as 'improvement and refinement through increased complexity.' This does not mean that our lives become more complicated or difficult as we refine and improve. On the contrary, as schiclul takes place, in this case through the Nine Essentials, the experience of our lives is one of greater simplicity, ease and pleaser. Shichlul makes the impossible possible, the possible comfortable, and the comfortable elegant." - p. 255”
First Sentence
