If you have any kind of attachment, you will protect the one who is attached. You will be dishonest.

What we need to be doing is minding our own business—not in an isolationist sense, but by minding God’s business, which should be our own.

There’s a difference between nonattached and passive. To be passive is to evade responsibility by choosing inaction; to be nonattached is to act always from a place of Love, so that we act appropriately in any situation—even when non-action is called for.  

We mistreat the people who are patient when we displease them again and again. We cater to the people who will turn away if we displease them once….

We are all in this together; no one is alone here. We all have to join together in appropriate action, and that is only possible from a place of freedom and Love.  

Soothing is not solving.

We have to surrender the very thing that keeps us suffering. This seems easy enough, and of course we would want to do that. But we do not. And changing the vocabulary in our narrative to sound lofty does nothing but perpetuate our own pain and the pain of others.

We are to surrender the individual that thinks. We tend to believe we need to get rid of the dysfunctional thinker and keep the “good” thinker. No: we have to surrender the thinker.  

Until we are completely surrendered to God, there will be times when we are blind.

Diplomacy is not compromising. It is saying something in a manner to accomplish your goals.
