Spiritually, no action is more important than surrender. Surrender is the tenderest impulse of the heart, acting out of love to give whatever the beloved wants. Surrender is being alert to exactly what is happening now, not imposing expectations from the past. Surrender is faith that the power of love can accomplish anything, even when you cannot foresee the outcome of a situation.

Being free brings a lightness, a carefree surrender to all that is happening around you, and, above all, an acceptance of reality.

Religion is believing someone else's experience, spirituality is having your own experience.

I go scuba diving. I ski. Watch movies. I take a week of silence every three months in the wilderness. And, besides, I have fun all the time anyway.

As you focus on simplifying your life, make sure that your approach to the process is a loving and accepting one. Know that you are doing all that you can do right now, and that is all anyone can do.

Spiritual awareness is not only one of the keys to the healing process. Spiritual awareness is the only way that healing can occur.

Everything that happens to you is self-created.
