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.

Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.

I have always said that often the religion you were born with becomes more important to you as you see the universality of truth.

As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving; you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.

The dance goes from realizing that you're separate (which is the awakening) to then trying to find your way back into the totality of which you are not only a part, but which you are.

We've gotten lost in our Ego and have forgotten that our Soul's only motive is to merge with the Beloved.

These are planes of consciousness, and I think human beings exist on two planes of consciousness, the soul and the ego.
