What we know about God is important, but what we do with what we know about God is even more important.

In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.

every time God forgives us, God is saying that God's own rules do not matter as much as the relationship that God wants to create with us.

The true mystic is always both humble and compassionate, for she knows that she does not know.

If you're the head of the organization that has to pay salaries, bills and keep the money coming, you have to be concerned with pleasing the middle. I find it means you have to dumb down your message to something less radical than the gospel. It can't be the real gospel. It has to be "churchiness" that pleases everyone, so they come back next Sunday and keep putting money in the collection plate. I don't mean that in a cynical way. I just think it's what happens.

If God continues to give me health and a sane mind and verbal ability, I want to teach.

In terms of soul work, we dare not get rid of the pain before we have learned what it has to teach us.
