Birth, death, and suffering all bring us to the very edge of what our minds can understand.

In our relationships, how much can we allow them to become new, and how much do we cling to what they used to be yesterday?

We're receiving information from all the planes of our consciousness all the time, but we don't acknowledge their existence; we treat the information as static, as noise.

After one arrives at the summit, after going through the total transformation of being...there is yet one more step to the completion of that journey: the return to the valley below, to the everyday world. Who it is that returns is not who began the climb in the first place. The being that comes back is quietness itself, is compassion and wisdom, is the truth of the ages. Whatever humble or elevated position that being holds within the community, he or she becomes a light for others on the way a statement of the freedom that comes from having touched the top of the mountain.

We live life in the marketplace and then we go off to the cave or to the meditation mat to replenish ourselves.

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

Heaven & Hell are both creations of desire.
