We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.

I don't think that anything that anyone is doing today that is being pointed at as the "enemy" or "the problem" is as dangerous to our future as the fact that there are so many pointed fingers. The pointed finger is the enemy.

The greatest force of personal liberation is the decision to widen our circle of compassion, moving from focus on self to focus on service.

I think the media has become incredibly corrupt. We used to have a profound tradition of investigative journalism in the United States. Some journalists were real heroes, such as Bob Woodward who helped uncover the Watergate scandal. But today he is leading the opposite charge, trying to bring down the careers of people and score easy victories. In other words, those who used to bust the status quo have now become the status quo.

On any given day, in any given moment, something could happen that opens up for you an entirely new path. Be still, be alert, be ready.

It is not your job to seek for love. It IS your job to seek within yourself all the barriers against its coming.

If you give your life as a wholehearted response to love, then love will wholeheartedly respond to you.
