Hell is just resistance to life.

There isn't anything except your own life that can be used as ground for your spiritual practice. Spiritual practice is your life, twenty-four hours a day.

The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new.

Only in an open, nonjudgmental space can we acknowledge what we are feeling. Only in an open space where we're not all caught up in our own version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are, which allows us to be with them and communicate with them properly.

It's not a terrible thing that we feel fear when faced with the unknown. It is part of being alive, something we all share.

Patience is the training in abiding with the restlessness of our energy and letting things evolve at their own speed.

Being fully present isn’t something that happens once and then you have achieved it; it’s being awake to the ebb and flow and movement and creation of life, being alive to the process of life itself.
