Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object.

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not.

Just because you are seeing divine light, experiencing waves of bliss, or conversing with Gods and Goddesses is no reason to not know your zip code.

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

You can't build joy on a feeling of self-loathing.

The question we need to ask ourselves is whether there is any place we can stand in ourselves where we can look at all that's happening around us without freaking out, where we can be quiet enough to hear our predicament, and where we can begin to find ways of acting that are at least not contributing to further destabilization.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.
