Real love is comforting, to be sure, but not always at first.

Your personal power is not something that is going to reveal itself at some later date. Your power is a result of your decision to reveal it. You are powerful in whatever moment you choose to be.

If I say to my daughter, "Go say `hi' to Aunt Gertrude," there is a reason there. I'm teaching her manners. I think the idea that she'll say `hi' to Aunt Gertrude only if she wants to is the biggest crock of silliness I've ever heard. Yet I meet people everyday who were clearly brought up to think that if they didn't want to say "hi" to Aunt Gertrude, that was fine.

As we awaken individually, we will act more powerfully collectively.

The love is real in any situation; everything else is just an illusion.

Love will be our medicine.

Great spiritual teachings do not change, but we do. As we grow older and wiser, we can receive the teachings at deeper levels.
