There's much more in any given moment than we usually perceive, and that we ourselves are much more than we usually perceive. When you know that, part of you can stand outside the drama of your life.

It's very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos.

You can't build joy on a feeling of self-loathing.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.

And then the witness, if you go down into the witness, that has the spiritual being. Down there, in your soul, you'll get far more love than you ever got out there.

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object.

I think it's darkness before the dawn, because the next evolution is going to be a consciousness evolution instead of a communication revolution.
