Spirituality is meant to take us beyond our tribal identity into a domain of awareness that is more universal.

You are the most important part of the family. Take care of yourself first. Then you'll be able to take care of everyone else even better.

So, when you have that experienced knowledge you lose the ability to hurt people and you also lose the ability to be hurt by people. That's love.

Mindfulness creates centered awareness. When you do one thing at a time, you're guaranteed excellent results. If you do too many things simultaneously, it messes up your neural circuits. Focus on one thing at a time.

Giving and receiving are different expressions of the same flow of energy in the universe.

The reason that ego and love are not compatible comes down to this: you cannot take your ego into the unknown, where love wants to lead. If you follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty.

It is only because you take your mind to be yourself, and make it dwell on what you are not, that you lose your sense of well-being.
