The real spiritual journey is work. You can make a naïve assertion that you trust in Jesus, but until it is tested a good, oh, 200 times, I doubt very much that it's true.

Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful, and praising God until we ourselves are an act of praise.

All great spirituality is about what we do with our pain. If we do not transform our pain, we will transmit it to those around us.

It's important to note that Jesus and Christ are two different faith affirmations. Hardly any Christians have been taught that - they think "Christ" is Jesus's last name.

The journey to happiness involves finding the courage to go down into ourselves and take responsibility for what's there: all of it.

The spiritual world is hidden and perfectly revealed in the physical world.

Pain that is not transformed is transmitted.
