For thousands of years, there have been lies about being gay or not being gay. If you know they're lies, you're free.

What makes me the happiest are the times I get together with my family, those times when I am with my children, grandchildren, my brothers and sisters and my very close friends, as well as when I am with my extended family in each one of my lectures and power journeys. My greatest joy is just to be alive!

What we know and believe is just a program; it is nothing but words, opinions, and ideas we learn from others and from our own life experience.

I had a massive heart attack, and in my belief that I was close to dying, I took the opportunity to teach my son about death. That lesson increased his faith in such a way that he completely accepted all the changes that life brings us. He learned that only the present exists. From that moment on, he began living in the present time, knowing that the future is just a possibility, and without believing all the opinions from the past. He understood that there are no guides, or masters. Each one of us is our own guru, and we can only save ourselves.

When you learn to love your physical body, every activity can become a ritual of gratitude where you fully express the joy to be alive!

Society teaches us conditional love; i.e., "I love you if you are the way I want you to be."

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. If other people try to write your story, it means they don't respect you. They consider that you're not a good artist who can write your own story, even though you were born to write your own story.
