When we shift our perception, our experience changes.

There's no way we could take cars off the planet and not have our society fall apart. So they're a necessary evil, in that sense.

Our breath gets shallow and ineffective when we are in a stressed state. I advocate stopping whatever you're doing for a couple of minutes five times a day, closing your eyes and taking deep breaths.

Reading books in one's youth is like looking at the moon through a crevice; reading books in middle age is like looking at the moon in one's courtyard; and reading books in old age is like looking at the moon on an open terrace.

While we all have our own perception about what is going on that is filtered through our experience, there is at the bottom the simple truth, which is what I look for.

You see one of these things and it changes your whole perception of reality.
