Alan Cohen Lifting Quotations

What a doctor or healer tells you is a reflection of the beliefs and expectations you hold. Change your beliefs and you change the prognosis. Who is the doctor? The mind of the patient.

As you recognize that you already own the wholeness you seek, and no one outside you can give you more than you already are, dysfunctional situations will evaporate like bad dreams exposed to the morning sun.

The only thing more important than being good is being real. Authenticity is kinder than resignation without conviction. Truth leads to good faster than good leads to truth. Ultimately truth is good, but you have to live it from the inside out.

People who do not need to please are irresistible because they radiate wholeness, a rare delicacy in a world of hungry hearts.

Enlightenment does not ask you to be perfect; it simply asks you to find perfection right where you stand.
