We all inhabit our lives, in different ways to some degree. We see ourselves a certain way, and based on how we see ourselves, that's how we see the world.

When we start to talk about gurus, we're talking about beings who actually know what this is all about. They know who we were, where we came from, and where we're going. They are not imprisoned in a selfish or self-centered view of the universe.

The Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.

You can’t think yourself out of a box that’s made of your thoughts.

The ultimate act of power is surrender.

We have to learn to love people even if they are not giving you what you want... and then not take it personally. If you feel hurt, you have to recognize that they are not hurting you because you are you, but because they are them. You have to try not to be so hard on yourself.

Can you imagine what it would be like to all of a sudden see another color that nobody else sees?
