When we fail we are merely joining the great parade of humanity that has walked ahead of us and will follow after us.

We are just a little tiny flicker of a much larger flame that is Life itself, Consciousness itself, Being itself, Love itself, God’s very self.

The ego knows itself by comparison.

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.

Faith is so rare-and religion so common-because no one wants to live between first base and second base. Faith is the in-between space where you're not sure you'll make it to second base. You've let go of one thing and haven't yet latched into another. Most of us choose the security of first base.

Sin happens whenever we refuse to keep growing.

People who’ve had any genuine spiritual experience always know that they don’t know. They are utterly humbled before mystery. They are in awe before the abyss of it all, in wonder at eternity and depth, and a Love, which is incomprehensible to the mind.
