If you meditate regularly, even when you don't feel like it, you will make great gains, for it will allow you to see how your thoughts impose limits on you. Your resistances to meditation are your mental prisons in miniature.

The dark night of the soul is when you have lost the flavor of life but have not yet gained the fullness of divinity. So it is that we must weather that dark time, the period of transformation when what is familiar has been taken away and the new richness is not yet ours.

Allowing dying to be so intensely present enriches both the preciousness of each moment and our detachment from it.

We're sitting under the tree of our thinking minds, wondering why we're not getting any sunshine!

Compassion is the ability to see how it all is.

Our rational minds can never understand what has happened, but our hearts.. if we can keep them open to God, will find their own intuitive way.

When we practice dying, we are learning to identify less with Ego and more with Soul
