If you keep examining your mind, you'll come to see that thoughts of who you are and how it all is are creating the reality you're experiencing.

Across planes of consciousness, we have to live with the paradox that opposite things can be simultaneously true.

You experience that you are cut off by being in your mind, and there is a quality that is starving in an individual that is locked in their mind. So when you move to another plane of consciousness which is no longer controlled by your intellect, which is really the sub-system and you move into the meta-system, what you feel at that moment is... you are the universe, you feel merged with it, you feel thick with the moment, and that richness is so fulfilling.

I think that people will find a tremendous joy and fulfillment in service to other human beings, and that often this is what is missing in their lives.

Compassion is the basis of all truthful relationship: it means being present with love-for ourselves and for all life, including animals, fish, birds, and trees. 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.

Who you think you are will always be frightened of change. But it doesn't make any difference to who you truly are.

Turn your melodrama into a mellow drama.
