I take the assumption that every religion has been rooted in some mystical or transcendent experience. From that assumption, I just look at all the different systems as metaphors or doorways to God.

Coming into the place of Soul-awareness is coming home.

The way we regard death is critical to the way we experience life. When your fear of death changes, the way you live your life changes.

When we're identified with Awareness, we're no longer living in a world of polarities. Everything is present at the same time.

So many times each day we support each other informally without ever becoming 'helper' or 'helped.' Perhaps we're finding an article of clothing for a partner, cutting bread for one of the children, collecting the mail for the person at the next desk, holding the coat for someone at a restaurant.

A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there's work to be done.

The dark night of the soul is when you have lost the flavor of life but have not yet gained the fullness of divinity. So it is that we must weather that dark time, the period of transformation when what is familiar has been taken away and the new richness is not yet ours.
