QUOTES
07:30 The true self is the stable, loving, courageous, creative, unique part of us... this is the source of unlimited creativity. So it's from this well that we drink to create our best ideas, to access more wisdom."
10:47 "Having these practices for learning and breaking patterns of fear, of not feeling enough, of regret, all of this energy keeps us down so it's very important to look through and break through on a daily basis."
15:23 "Enlightenment is about looking past all the things, the beliefs that we've integrated, ingrained as truth without even examining and realizing that there's a bigger part of who we are, the true self. There's a much bigger part."
37:00 "It's always trying to shine the outside. And that is never going to work with comparison. The only way to really get past the constant comparison is to stop it. And the way we stop it is we realize that it's obsolete, and we realize it's obsolete when we bring forth our own."
42:55 "What makes someone that real beauty, Koya, is the degree to which they are connected to their true self because some people don't use that language, but the true self is you being you."
