I help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people... To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.

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.

When our hearts open, when we know that we are in fact the world, when we experience the pain of others in our own blood and muscle, we are feeling compassion.

You experience that you are cut off by being in your mind, and there is a quality that is starving in an individual that is locked in their mind. So when you move to another plane of consciousness which is no longer controlled by your intellect, which is really the sub-system and you move into the meta-system, what you feel at that moment is... you are the universe, you feel merged with it, you feel thick with the moment, and that richness is so fulfilling.

I am not this body. I am in this body, and this is part of my incarnation and I honor it but that isn't who I am.

The point isn't to deny our Egos, but to extricate ourselves from our exclusive preoccupation with them.

Our culture's zeal for longevity reveals our incredible collective fear of death.
