Spiritual practices help us move from identifying with the ego to identifying with the soul. Old age does that for you too. It spiritualizes people naturally.

By acting compassionately, by helping to restore justice and to encourage peace, we are acknowledging that we are all part of one another.

Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it!

Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God.

Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.

Information is just bits of data. Knowledge is putting them together. Wisdom is transcending them.

We're here to awaken from the illusion of separateness

It's all real and it's all illusory: that's Awareness!

Learn to watch your drama unfold while at the same time knowing you are more than your drama.

If you think you're free, there's no escape possible.

The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.
