Faith doesn't mean you don't have to do the work; it just means you're absolutely certain the work will pay off.

In pursuing personal growth, there are issues where we can advance just so far by ourselves. At some point, our continued progress and improvement can only come about through relationships with others. Romantic love is an intense and intimate exposure to another person; if we can be who we want to be, even in that context, then our spiritual growth is exponentially expanded.

We need love - an awesome love grounded in the evolutionary potential for life on Earth - to become the organizing principle for human society.

The only issue that I have a problem with when it comes to the new age is the way that people such as myself are diminished by that label. I simply don't consider myself "new age." It's other people's small-mindedness that tries to connect me with someone who, let's say, thinks crystals are the answers to all of life's problems. I never did. There are those who suggest that anyone speaking from a base in California has less to say. That kind of bashing doesn't interest me.

A real leader is not the top dog who merely shouts down orders. a leader is one who holds the space for the brilliance of others.

Nature is infinitely creative. It is always producing the possibility of new beginnings.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
