Through default or intention, unaware or by design, we not only choose but create the visible outer conditions that are most resonant to our inner state of being.

The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?

Everything is exactly as it is for a reason. The crumb on your table is no mystical reminder of this morning's cookie, it is there because you have chosen not to remove it. No exceptions.

Having made the decision to love, had I chosen life instead of death?

All we see of someone at any moment is a snapshot of their life, there in riches or poverty, in joy or despair. Snapshots don't show the million decisions that led to that moment.

If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?

Any powerful idea is absolutely fascinating and absolutely useless until we choose to use it.
