The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.

Watch how your mind judges. Judgment comes, in part, out of your own fear. You judge other people because you're not comfortable in your own being. By judging, you find out where you stand in relation to other people. The judging mind is very divisive. It separates. Separation closes your heart. If you close your heart to someone, you are perpetuating your suffering and theirs. Shifting out of judgment means learning to appreciate your predicament and their predicament with an open heart instead of judging. Then you can allow yourself and others to just be, without separation.

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

The humor is that finally when you have the power to move the mountain, you are the person who placed it there-so there the mountain stays.

You see that who you are isn't moving in time. Time is describing the incarnations, the packing changes.

When the heart is open, it's easier for the mind to be turned toward God.

My life is a creative act--like a painting, or a concerto.
