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.

We're all assigned a piece of the garden, a corner of the universe that is ours to transform.

Our problem is not that we don't have power, so much as that we tend to not use the power we have.

Love itself compensates for any diminishment.

Imagine a temple inside your mind, a haven from the chaos of the world. Visit often.

I personally am not a total pacifist. I do believe there is such a thing as a just war. I believe, for instance, the effort to destroy the Nazi regime militarily was justified military action.

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.
