My experience of fundamental Truth is that it’s a place of extraordinary intelligence. It’s a place from which great intelligence arises. I call it a place of absolute infinite potential.

Grief, unresisted, is grace. It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't mean it doesn't rip your heart out....In great grief, there's an incredible love in it.

You must choose between your attachments and happiness.

The Way of Liberation is not a belief system; it is something to be put into practice.

Enlightenment is, in the end, nothing more than the natural state of being.
