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

Stillness is training for action.

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.

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.

Those of us who have transcended mythical belief systems know without any doubt that there is no God up in the sky. But when we awaken to what I call the evolutionary impulse - the mysterious passion to evolve, to become, to develop on every level-we rediscover who God is.

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.
