You have everything in you that Buddha has, that Christ has. You've got it all. But only when you start to acknowledge it is it going to get interesting. Your problem is you're afraid to acknowledge your own beauty. You're too busy holding on to your own unworthiness. You'd rather be a schnook sitting before some great man. That fits in more with who you think you are. Well, enough already. I sit before you and I look and I see your beauty, even if you don't.

After meditating for some years, I began to see the patterns of my own behavior. As you quiet your mind, you begin to see the nature of your own resistance more clearly, struggles, inner dialogues, the way in which you procrastinate and develop passive resistance against life. As you cultivate the witness, things change. You don't have to change them. Things just change.

Wisdom is one of the few things in human life that does not diminish with age.

I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are

Birth, death, and suffering all bring us to the very edge of what our minds can understand.

I help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people... To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.

I have always said that often the religion you were born with becomes more important to you as you see the universality of truth.
