Your self is the universe, and you perceive the universe through a state of mind.

The other side is beyond knowing. You cannot know what you experience on the other side, here. Wisdom is beyond the grasp of the conscious mind.

I had been pretty well made a prisoner by school, by society. I had been given this description of the world that I couldn't accept.

Compassion and empathy are not the same as feeling sorry for oneself. They are emotions that extend our perceptual ranges.

The world that you see is like a motion picture. We are engrossed in a film and we have forgotten that we're sitting in a movie theatre.

Spiritual balance is the principle that allows the mind to be still. You cannot expect the world to settle down, everything to work out, in order for you to be happy. You have to get control of your mind.

Never get so stuck in being responsible and mindful that you can't let it all go and run off chasing your private dream, if it leads to the shiny worlds, the worlds of beauty.
