Oprah [Winfrey] and I share a similar consciousness of spirit that is manifested in what some may call God or simply Spirit but others call it the Godhead manifestation of karmic virtue.

You create a good future by creating a good present.

As long as we define ourselves in terms of our pain and our problems, we will never be free from them.

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer the universe.

When you let go of the belief that you should or need to know who you are, what happens to confusion? Suddenly it is gone. When you fully accept that you don't know, you actually enter a state of peace and clarity that is closer to who you truly are than thought could ever be. Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.

The more you make your thoughts and beliefs into your identity, the more cut off you are from the spiritual dimension within yourself.

The thinking mind is a useful and powerful tool, but it is also very limiting when it takes over your life completely, when you don't realize that it is only a small aspect of the consciousness that you are.
