If you're looking ecologically, then we are in very big trouble, yes. But if you're talking about people sinking, I'm not so sure that's true. There are cycles of rise and fall, as there have been since time immemorial.

Love to me is - the final lines in Dante's Paradiso, when he says, "The love that moves the Sun and all the stars" - it's what draws us together, it's why we have leaky margins with each other. It is that sumptuous, sensuous, sensitive quickening that happens when we really know ourselves as love and see ourselves as loving.

Because of the nature of my life, because I train a great many people, I come upon such a huge variety of human species, as well as the earth species for that matter.

We are the love, the lover, the loving, and the love. It is the Supreme. It is the deepest force in our lives.

When we are calling forth the depth and genius of the other, then we grow.

Paul Brunton was a great original and got to a place of personal evolution that illumines the pathways of a future humanity.

I don't think that any great issue ever gets resolved. I think we outgrow them.
