We are dangerous when we are not conscious of our responsibility for how we behave, think, and feel.

When you ride the wave, the thrill is so exhilarating that you forget everything else. You live in the moment where nothing else matters, so intent on riding the wave perfectly that you and the wave become one. Pain and worry disappear, replaced by euphoria, akin to flow. Similarly, when giving empathy, you want to strive for this kind of total presence for the person you are listening to.

When I am angry I have a judgment and an unmet need.

Nonviolent Communication is a way of keeping our consciousness tuned in moment by moment to that beauty within ourselves and others, and not saying anything that we think might in any way tarnish people's consciousness of their own beauty.

The spirituality that we need to develop for social change is one that mobilizes us for social change.

People heal from their pain when they have an authentic connection with another human being.

Unless we as social change agents come from a certain spirituality, we're likely to create more harm than good.
