If you think you are enlightened; go home for Thanksgiving.

In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.

I don't really believe anything I say. Because the nature of my work concerns the spaces between the words, rather than the words themselves.

When you concentrate on the middle of your chest - this is where loving awareness lives. This is the spiritual heart. Not the beating heart, not the emotional heart. This spiri­tual heart goes way back - goes back many incarnations. We call it the soul.

We're being trained through our incarnations--trained to seek love, trained to seek light, trained to see the grace in suffering.

Early in the journey you wonder how long the journey will take and whether you will make it in this lifetime. Later you will see that where you are going is HERE and you will arrive NOW...so you stop asking.

After meditating for some years, I began to see the patterns of my own behavior. As you quiet your mind, you begin to see the nature of your own resistance more clearly, struggles, inner dialogues, the way in which you procrastinate and develop passive resistance against life. As you cultivate the witness, things change. You don't have to change them. Things just change.
