We're making far too big a deal out of our sexual preferences. It's just another form of narcissism, and I think it can be a big problem and a tremendous obstacle.

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.

I believe that any individual who has spiritually awakened in our time, to the degree that he or she finds a higher and deeper motive for living, is going to be driven to fight the good fight in one way or another... And in order to fight the good fight, we have to engage, we have to get into the ring, not just stand outside it and be philosophers.

Spiritual experiences and their results are not meant for the individual. They are for the evolution of the whole race.

The executive branch maneuvered this result deftly.

Our relationship to reality and to our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we're always trying to live up to.

We have to be willing to give up all the injustices of the past that did exist - and that do exist right now. When we become interested in liberation, we then become interested in that which transcends time.
