If I see one dilemma with Western man, it's that he can't accept how beautiful he is. He can't accept that he is pure light, that he's pure love, that he's pure consciousness, that he's divine.

When you know how to listen everyone is the guru

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object.

Suffering is the sandpaper of our incarnation. It does its work of shaping us.

Consciousness equals energy = love = awareness = light = wisdom = beauty = truth = purity. It's all the same trip.

You and I are the force for transformation in the world. We are the consciousness that will define the nature of the reality we are moving into.

We come into relationships often very much identified with our needs. I need this, I need security, I need refuge, I need friendship. And all of relationships are symbiotic in that sense. We come together because we fulfill each others' needs at some level or other.
