To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.

Underneath the world of sense perceptions and the world of mind activity, there is the vastness of being. There's a vast spaciousness. There's a vast stillness and there's a little ripple activity on the surface, which isn't separate, just like the ripples are not separate from the ocean.

Authentic human interactions become impossible when you lose yourself in a role.

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.

When the ego dominates in organizations, even spiritual organizations, there is usually a big drama or upheaval of some kind, and self-destruction begins.

So far for humans it has been the case that ego develops and then humans are stuck with it for the rest of their lives.
