"Conflict is the denial of what is or the running away from what is; there is no conflict other than that..."
The Book of Life, August 26 |
"It is not difficult to trim and lop off
certain branches of conflict, but we are asking ourselves whether it is
possible to live in complete inward and therefore outward tranquility? Which does not mean
that we shall vegetate or stagnate. On the contrary, we shall become
dynamic, vital, full of energy."
Freedom From the Known, p.61 |
"All existence is choice. Only in aloneness there is no choice. Choice in every form
is conflict. Contradiction is inevitable in choice; this contradiction, inner
and outer breeds confusion and misery."

"The mere search for a solution to conflict will not do away with the conflict itself.
When you seek a solution, a means of dissolving the conflict, you merely try to superimpose,
or substitute in its place, a new set of ideas, a new set of theories, or you try to run away
from the conflict altogther.
If you observe, you will see that when there is a conflict, you are at once seeking a solution for it. You want to find a way out of the conflict, and you generally do find a way out; but you have not solved the conflict, you have merely shifted it by substituting a new environment, a new condition, which will in turn produce another conflict. So let us look into this whole idea of conflict, from where it arises, and what we can do about it." Total Freedom |
"Mere isolation in an enclosing idea is not a release from conflict."
