The explorers seek happiness in finding curiosities, discovering new lands and undergoing risks in adventures. They are thrilling. But where is pleasure found? Only within. Pleasure is not to be sought in the external world Picture Quote #1

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause Picture Quote #1

As you go about your life, don’t give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within Picture Quote #1

... by natural selection our mind has adapted itself to the conditions of the external world. It has adopted the geometry most advantageous to the species or, in other words, the most convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous Picture Quote #1

It is easy to see that the ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world Picture Quote #1

The ego refuses to be distressed by the provocations of reality, to let itself be compelled to suffer. It insists that it cannot be affected by the traumas of the external world; it shows, in fact, that such traumas are no more than occasions for it to gain pleasure Picture Quote #1

Properly speaking, the unconscious is the real psychic; its inner nature is just as unknown to us as the reality of the external world, and it is just as imperfectly reported to us through the data of consciousness as is the external world through the indications of our sensory organs Picture Quote #1

The reason why clutter clearing is effective is that while you are putting your external world in order there are corresponding changes going on internally too Picture Quote #1

This degree of thought, which we attain by freeing ourselves from the external world, must be fed by the inner spirit, and our surroundings cannot influence us in any way other than to leave us in peace Picture Quote #1

As science went further and further into the external world, they ended up inside the atom where to their surprise they saw consciousness staring them in the face! Picture Quote #1

This really revolutionary revolution is to be achieved, not in the external world, but in the souls and flesh of human beings Picture Quote #1
