The waking dream can be mastered. Just as we can alter the course of our nighttime dreaming we can remind ourselves before falling asleep to wake up in the middle of a recurring nightmare.

That is a fact. If you don't love yourself, you don't have any opportunity to be happy. You cannot share what you do not have. If you do not love yourself, you cannot love anyone else either. But you can have a need for love, and if there's someone who needs you, that's what humans call love. That is not love. That is possessiveness, that is selfishness, that is control with no respect. Don't lie to yourself; that is not love.

My best students are still hunters, but they feed on different foods now. They were one thing, and now they're something else. They are loyal to the human, creating realities based on gratitude and generosity. Where the mind used to control and to punish, now it serves. Where it may have behaved like a villain, now it's a hero. Where once it craved only poison, now it has a taste for nectar.
