For you to have real love, you need to be able to move past your self.

Where there's self importance, there's only a very little bit of you and that little bit is distorted. It's in a holding pattern that is false to what it knows. That holding pattern forbids you, in that little bit of you, from being the rest of you.

When you come from your heart in the midst of your self and in your life, you’ll be like a salmon turning and going upstream. You’ll be going against the stream. You’ll be going against what your self is like. In that way, you are training your self, your conditioning and the streams of your self.

If you die of cancer with only openness and softness in your heart, you will live and die integrating your self.

The softer your heart is the less that your past is forming your present and your future. When there is openness and softness of heart, what forms the present and the future is not your past but the reality of your own being.

Everything needs to touch your heart. Everything that touches your heart brings out the deep in you.

When you are known, what you are is activated.
