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.

Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don't yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

The revolution of ideas that will save us is a revolution of goodwill, of compassion, and of higher thinking. I believe that they outnumber the people who would choose fear. But they are not a particularly politicized force. If you look at the numbers of people buying books about revolutions from within and personal transformation as the key to global change, the numbers add up to a much greater audience than most people realize.

There is no single effort more radical in its potential for saving the world than a transformation of the way we raise our children.

The universe takes us as seriously as we take it.

Only love can bring us peace. And the experience of love is a choice we make, a mental decision to see love as the only real purpose and value in any situation.
