The process of growth is, it seems, the art of falling down. Growth is measured by the gentleness and awareness with which we once again pick ourselves up, the lightness with which we dust ourselves off, the openness with which we continue and take the next unknown step, beyond our edge, beyond our holding, into the remarkable mystery of being.

To heal is to touch with love that which we previously touched with fear.

The demons aren't the noise. They are our aversion to the noise...when you can accept discomfort, doing so allows a balance of mind. That surrender, that letting go of wanting anything to be other than it is right in the moment, is what frees us from hell.

Understanding is the ultimate seduction of the mind. Go to the truth beyond the mind.

Our work is to keep our hearts open in hell.

Death is just a change in lifestyles.

When your fear touches someone’s pain, it becomes pity, when your love touches someone’s pain, it become compassion.
