Spiritual awakening is the difficult process whereby the increasing realisation that everything is as wrong as it can be flips suddenly into the realisation that everything is as right is it can be. Or better, everything is as It as it can be.

We tend to regard ourselves as puppets of the Past, driven along by something that is always behind us.

Wars based on principle are far more destructive... the attacker will not destroy that which he is after.

By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us.

We have a strange anxiety in us; that if we don't interfere then it won't happen. Now that's the root of an enormous amount of trouble.

You find out that the universe is a system that creeps up on itself and says 'Boo' and then laughs at itself for jumping.
