Stephen Levine Quotes

• The process of growth is, it seems, the art of falling down. Growth is measured by the gentleness and awareness with which we once again pick ourselves up, the lightness with which we dust ourselves off, the openness with which we continue and take the next unknown step, beyond our edge, beyond our holding, into the remarkable mystery of being.

• Cuando tu miedo toca el dolor de alguien, se convierte en lástima;
  cuando tu amor toca el dolor de alguien, se convierte en
  compasión. Entrenarse en la compasión, entonces, es saber
  que todos los seres son iguales y sufren de forma similar,
  honrar a todos los que sufren y saber que no estás
  no estás separado de nadie ni eres superior a nadie.

• Wanting things to be otherwise is the very essence of suffering. We almost never directly experience what pain is because our reaction to it is so immediate that most of what we call pain is actually our experience of resistance to that phenomenon. And the resistance is usually a good deal more painful than the original sensation.

• Letting the last breath come.
  Letting the last breath go.
  Dissolving, dissolving into vast space,
  the light body released from its heavier form.
  A sense of connectedness with all that is,
  all sense of separation dissolved
  in the vastness of being.
  Each breath melting into space
  as though it were the last.

• Much thought has at its root a dissatisfaction with what is. Wanting is the urge for the next moment to contain what this moment does not. When there is wanting in the mind, that moment feels incomplete. Wanting is seeing elsewhere. Completeness is being right here.
