The spiritual journey involves going beyond hope and fear, stepping into unknown territory, continually moving forward. The most important aspect of being on the spiritual path may be just to keep moving.

Everything in our lives has the potential to wake us up or put us to sleep. Allowing it to awaken us is up to us.

Everything is fresh, the essence of realization.

The treasure we seek requires no lengthy expedition, no expensive equipment, no superior aptitude or special company. All we lack is the willingness to imagine that we already have everything we need. The only thing missing is our consent to be where we are.

Opening to the world begins to benefit ourselves and others simultaneously. The more we relate with others, the more quickly we discover where we're blocked.

Obstacles are our friends: they teach us where we're stuck.

Our neurosis and our wisdom are made out of the same material. If you throw out your neurosis, you also throw out your wisdom.
