You playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so others won't feel insecure around you. As you let your own light shine, you indirectly give others permission to do the same.

You've done the bourgeois thing, perhaps, but let's not call that love.

I don't think of spiritual principle as a struggle. I think of life lived without spiritual principles as a struggle.

There are other kinds of emotional pain that emerge from our own mistaken thinking. As we surrender that pain, we are inviting into our thought system a guide who will lead us to different thoughts. It’s like the song “Amazing Grace”: I was blind and now I see.

The enlightened world will be one in which everyone is in love with everyone all the time. We will see each other as God created us: as the perfect, loving, and lovable people we really are. The purpose of romantic love is to jump-start our enlightenment.

The issue is not whether or not you have that power, the issue is whether or not you use it.

...a miracles is a reasonable thing to ask for.
