Most spiritual experiences begin with suffering. They begin with groundlessness. They begin when the rug has been pulled out from under us.

Sometimes we find that we like our thoughts so much that we don't want to let them go.

The biggest obstacle to taking a bigger perspective on life is that our emotions capture and blind us.

Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth

The approach is that the best way to use unwanted circumstances on the path of enlightenment is not to resist but to lean into them.

Although we have the potential to experience the freedom of a butterfly, we mysteriously prefer the small and fearful cocoon of ego.

We're not trying to be something we aren't; rather, we're reconnecting with who we are.
