My life is a creative act--like a painting, or a concerto.

When you are already in Detroit, you don't have to take a bus to get there.

Cosmic humor, especially about your own predicament, is an important part of your journey.

You may protest if you can love the person you are protesting against as much as you love yourself.

Early in the journey you wonder how long the journey will take and whether you will make it in this lifetime. Later you will see that where you are going is HERE and you will arrive NOW...so you stop asking.

You give up not meditating. It's called meditation action. There's no way out of it. Meditation means to be constantly extricating yourself from the clinging of mind.

What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.

Do what you can on this plane to relieve suffering by constantly working on yourself to be an instrument for the cessation of suffering. To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.

Inspiration is God making contact with itself.

Religions are founded by what mystics say when they come back; but what the mystics say is not the same as what happened to them.

When the heart is open, it's easier for the mind to be turned toward God.

The dance goes from realizing that you're separate (which is the awakening) to then trying to find your way back into the totality of which you are not only a part, but which you are.

When we're identified with Awareness, we're no longer living in a world of polarities. Everything is present at the same time.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.

Just because you are seeing divine light, experiencing waves of bliss, or conversing with Gods and Goddesses is no reason to not know your zip code.

We're being trained through our incarnations--trained to seek love, trained to seek light, trained to see the grace in suffering.

If you want to be surrounded by Souls, become identified with your Soul. It takes one to know one!

As one individual changes, the system changes.

A moment comes when "other" is no longer other.

You and I are the force for transformation in the world. We are the consciousness that will define the nature of the reality we are moving into.

I see my life as an unfolding set of opportunities to awaken.

In mystical traditions, it is one's own readiness that makes experiences exoteric or esoteric. The secret isn't that you're not being told. The secret is that you're not able to hear.

Our rational minds can never understand what has happened, but our hearts.. if we can keep them open to God, will find their own intuitive way.

Prolong not the past Invite not the future Do not alter your innate wakefulness Fear not appearances There in nothing more than this
