My guru said that when he suffers, it brings him closer to God. I have found this, too.

When you see the beloved all around you, everyone is family and everywhere is love.

Do what you can on this plane to relieve suffering by constantly working on yourself to be an instrument for the cessation of suffering. To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.

Most of us are convinced that we are our egos, which is who we think we are. The ego is part of our incarnation. It dies with the body, which is why we are so afraid of death. Death scares the hell out of who you think you are, especially if you think you are this body.

Religions are founded by what mystics say when they come back; but what the mystics say is not the same as what happened to them.

I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn't create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.

Prolong not the past Invite not the future Do not alter your innate wakefulness Fear not appearances There in nothing more than this
