After one arrives at the summit, after going through the total transformation of being...there is yet one more step to the completion of that journey: the return to the valley below, to the everyday world. Who it is that returns is not who began the climb in the first place. The being that comes back is quietness itself, is compassion and wisdom, is the truth of the ages. Whatever humble or elevated position that being holds within the community, he or she becomes a light for others on the way a statement of the freedom that comes from having touched the top of the mountain.

The way we regard death is critical to the way we experience life. When your fear of death changes, the way you live your life changes.

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

One cultivates spaciousness or awareness which allows you to acknowledge the emotions and see them as part of the human condition. Emotions are like subtle thought forms and they all arise in response to something outside yourself. They are all reactions. You cultivate a quietness in yourself that watches these emotions rising and falling and passing away.

I've got to love the souls of people. Because I can't love every incarnation. To love their souls, I have to identify with my own soul.

I'm not interested in being a "lover." I'm interested in only being love.

You are joy, wisdom, peace, compassion, and love
