Healing depends on listening with the inner ear - stopping the incessant blather, and listening. Fear keeps us chattering - fear that wells up from the past, fear of blurting out what we really fear, fear of future repercussions. It is our very fear of the future that distorts the now that could lead to a different future if we dared to be whole in the present.

It is amazing that our souls - our eternal essences, with all their hopes and dreams and visions of an eternal world - are contained within these temporal bodies. No wonder suffering is part of the human condition.

The images we eat are as important as the food we eat. Think of that in terms of television, and a lot of the movies we watch.

The healing of ourselves as healers has to take place first. Bringing ourselves to wholeness, we become more sensitive to other people. In the change of consciousness that happens within us, we bring about change of consciousness in those around us and in the planet itself.

But if you travel far enough, one day you will recognize yourself coming down to meet yourself. And you will say - yes.

At the very point of vulnerability is where the surrender takes place-that is where the god enters. The god comes through the wound.

An addiction is anything we do to avoid hearing the messages that body and soul are trying to send us.
