Honor the tradition but expand the understanding. That's what religions must do right now if they hope to be helpful to humans in the years ahead.

All mysteries of human experience that are eliminated when we understand that we are a great deal more than our body and when you look very deeply at who and what the soul really is, who and what God really is.

I've come to believe that total nakedness, that is absolute transparency, that is utter and unfettered and profound visibility, is the only way that we can truly love. Anything less, is self-defense.

Transformation is an instant-moment thing, available to us in any and every second. Life starts anew when you say it does.

Each of us has a Soul. But no one has stopped to tell us what the Soul is in the world to do. Or if they have told us, they've given us incomplete information - for example, that our job is to get back to God. That is not our job. We couldn't get back to God if we wanted to, because we never left God.

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

Nothing stops the forward march of any creative endeavor like the need to do it absolutely perfectly. And who is to judge what is 'perfect' anyway? What I have judged full of flaws so many others have called terrific. Maybe the definition of Perfection is something that actually gets done.
