When you want to become free, your righteousness and anger are much less interesting than they used to be.

Spiritual practices help us move from identifying with the ego to identifying with the soul. Old age does that for you too. It spiritualizes people naturally.

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.

At the moment when there's nothing more to lose, the Ego breaks open - and then we see who we are behind who we thought we were.

It's very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos.

I think it's darkness before the dawn, because the next evolution is going to be a consciousness evolution instead of a communication revolution.

Suffering lets us see where are attachments are - and that helps us get free.
