Ascetic spirituality is a symptom of the very disease which it intends to cure.

Peace is not merely the absence of warfare, any more than true health is simply the absence of disease. Nor is peace simply a quiet state of equilibrium-impossible to achieve in an evolving system. Though refraining from harm is an essential first step, lasting peace is created by actively redressing harm done. Peace is a creative process of actively joining I and thou into a co-creative we. It requires authentic communication, empathic listening, and wildly creative solutions.

World peace is the most essential outer realization of our time.

It's not the meaning of life we seek but our aliveness. Once we have that, the meaning of life is obvious.

It’s not only for unanswered questions that we seek knowledge but also for the examination of unquestioned answers.

We either get success or lessons. If we learn our lessons successfully, we get both.

To love ourselves is to act respectfully toward ourselves, to enjoy our own company when in solitude, to honor our limits and speak our truths.
