“Its coming to grips with the fact that the only person who can cause us to suffer,
who can cause us to misperceive illusion and separation,who has this much power
is us.
Nothing in the exterior environment causes us to lose a sense of the awakened state.
Nobody we meet,no situation we deal with has the power to cause us to fall out of awakening.

This is one of the most important realizations we can make.
Its all an inside job.
It’s all something we do to ourselves— mistakenly,unknowingly,
and often times unconsciously.
