If you want oneness in society, you have to teach people to go inside instead of going outside, because if they want peace, they need to find it within.
Ram DassIn mystical traditions, it is one's own readiness that makes experiences exoteric or esoteric. The secret isn't that you're not being told. The secret is that you're not able to hear.

Compassion is bringing our deepest truth into our actions, no matter how much the world seems to resist, because that is ultimately what we have to give this world and one another.
