We are this divine energy. It's not something we have to attain. We just have to realize it, to be present to it.

We want people to change because they see better ways of meeting their needs at less cost, not because of fear that we're going to punish them, or 'guilt' them if they don't. This applies to ourselves as well.

When our communication supports compassionate giving and receiving, happiness replaces violence and grieving.

Never hear what a jackal-speaking person thinks, especially what they think about you.

What others do may be the stimulus of our feelings, but never the cause.

Praise and reward create a system of extrinsic motivations for behavior. Children (and adults) end up taking action in order to receive the praise or rewards.

Before we tackle the gangs and the basic story, we have to make sure that we have liberated ourselves from how we have been educated and make sure we are coming from a spirituality of our own choosing.
