There is enough room in eternity for everyone to be enlightened. We gain or lose nothing by the success of others.

With the frenzied pace in our own country, with the degenerating school system, with a crime rate that rises 30% a year, and with politicians that seem more interested in posturing than in governing, it has become more difficult, or should I say challenging, to achieve that inner symbiosis with life.

When one side or the other predominates, there's an imbalance and there's unhappiness.

Reincarnation is the evolution of spirit through matter. Over thousands and millions of lifetimes, the soul evolves. It comes into the light. The growth is slow.

Dogs have fleas; people have each other. We are born to die. Life is a continuing tragic comedy. Everything and everyone we love suffers. Anybody who doesn't see that has not grown up and known life.

Those who love and who have a sense of purity live in a very luminous band of awareness.

I feel that there's a certain danger in always being in a lovely rural setting. You can lose touch.
