We have been very conditioned by the cultures that we come from and are usually very identified with the particular gender that we happen to be a member of.

We are all capable of greatness when we know without any doubt that we are directly connected to a higher purpose.

When a human being becomes so still that they begin to lose awareness of their gender, and they are simply looking into that abyss where there is no notion of self whatsoever, the world disappears. And that's really the only place to go. It's the only place to remain.

The mess of the human condition is that fundamental trust has not yet been realized. The true value of profound spiritual experience lies in the discovery of that fundamental trust.
