You can't build joy on a feeling of self-loathing.

I'm ensconced in the soul … and I look around and everything is love.

All that you seek is already within you. In Hinduism it is called the Atman, in Buddhism the pure Buddha-Mind. Christ said, 'the kingdom of heaven is within you.' Quakers call it the ‘still small voice within.’ This is the space of full awareness that is in harmony with all the universe, and thus is wisdom itself.

The art of life is to stay wide open and be vulnerable, yet at the same time to sit with the mystery and the awe and with the unbearable pain - to just be with it all.

What the word God means is the mystery really. It's the mystery that we face as humans the mystery of existence, of suffering and of death.

Compassion and love, that's all.

The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.
