Quotes by Stephan Bodian (?)

“Resist the temptation to be someone once again. Allow yourself to be no one; allow your mind to be empty of thought, unfurnished, until the identities gradually filter back in. Notice the space between your identities and the awareness of them. Notice if a similar gap appears at other times during the day, an empty space that you may have ignored before but can now lean into and prolong. Continue to open to the openness.”
― Stephan Bodian, Beyond Mindfulness: The Direct Approach to Lasting Peace, Happiness, and Love

“Ultimately, your every desire—the desire for material things, relationships, career success, sexual gratification—is really the desire for the peace you experience for brief moments when you attain the object of your desire.”
― Stephan Bodian, Wake Up Now

“As in mindfulness practice, each moment of practicing awakened awareness offers a choice-point: Do I allow myself to become distracted and get seduced back into the drama? Or do I choose the openness, clarity, disidentification, and freedom that I discovered but keep forgetting?”
― Stephan Bodian, Beyond Mindfulness: The Direct Approach to Lasting Peace, Happiness, and Love
