The world "out there" won't change until the world "in here" does.

There are many meditation techniques, and it's important to find one that resonates with you.

The fastest way to your own happiness is to make another happy.

Compassion is the feeling of shared suffering. When you feel someone else's suffering, there is the birth of understanding.

The skill of letting go can be learned, and once learned you will enjoy living much more spontaneously.

Joy is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind, and spirit that was yours at birth and that can be yours again. That openness to love, that capacity for wholeness with the world around you, is still within you.

And for me anyway, consciousness is three components: a personal component which for lack of a better word we can call the soul. A collective component which is more archetypal and a deeper level, and then a universal domain of consciousness.
