Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" --- and find that there is no death.

If the price of peace were a lowering of your consciousness, and the price of stillness a lack of vitality and alertness, then they would not be worth having.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

Consciousness is not personal. Human consciousness is just an expression of universal consciousness, which pervades the entire universe.

Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego.

Throughout history humans have inflicted countless violent, cruel, and hurtful acts on each other, and continue to do so. Are they all to be condemned; are they all guilty? Or are those acts simply expressions of unconsciousness, an evolutionary stage that we are now growing out of? Jesus’ words, “Forgive them for they do not know what they do,” also apply to yourself.

Thinking fragments reality - it cuts it up into conceptual bits and pieces.
