Ultimately love is everything.

If your goal is to avoid pain and escape suffering, I would not advise you to seek higher levels of consciousness or spiritual evolution.

Although the act of nurturing another's spiritual growth has the effect of nurturing one's own, a major characteristic of genuine love is that the distinction between oneself and the other is always maintained and preserved.

God wants us to become himself or herself or itself. We are growing toward Godhood. God is the goal of evolution.

As Benjamin Franklin said, 'Those things that hurt, instruct.' It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.

I believe it would be considerably healthier for us to dare to live without a reason for many things than with reasons that are simplistic.

When you consider yourself valuable you will take care of yourself in all ways that are necessary.
