The difficulty with humanity's previous attempts at reinventing itself is that we've always started with behaviors rather than with beliefs.

I think that whatever we encounter in life, we want to encourage a balance between the mind and the soul...and that is to consider about 50% data from the mind and 50% data from the soul. This is what Buddhists call, "the middle way."

Life is pointless...and that is God's greatest gift.

I began to hear what I was being taught about God, by the priest and my parish, and my exterior teaching did not coincide, did not match up, with my interior reality. And as they were teaching me about that God I was thinking: Who are they talking about? This was not how I experienced God. I gradually began to move away from the God of organized religion.

Pain results from a judgment you have made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears.

There are thousands of paths to God and every one gets you there.

The problem is, most people don't like to hear suggestions that directly confront or run counter to their most sacred beliefs.
