Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it. - Ram Dass

Knowledge all by itself, without deep wisdom, ends up becoming despair.

Who you think you are will always
be frightened of change. But it
doesn’t make any difference to
who you truly are.

A moment’s reflection will show you that you play many roles in the course of a day . . . and that who you are from moment to moment changes. There is the angry you, and the kind you, the lazy you, the lustful you — hundreds of different you’s. Gurdjieff points out that sometimes one “you” does something for which all the other “you’s” must pay for years or possibly the rest of this life.
