Always try to see yourself through God's eyes.

Meditation isn't to disappear into the light. Meditation is to see all of what we are.

When the heart acknowledges how much pain there is in the mind, it turns like a mother toward a frightened child.

Why do so many of us not give ourselves permission to be alive until we are absolutely assured that we will die? ...If we are not in [this present millisecond of life and conscious experience], we are not alive; we are merely thinking our lives. Yet we have seen so many die, looking back over their shoulders at their lives, shaking their heads and muttering in bewilderment, "What was that all about?"

Hell is not fire and brimstone, not a place where you are punished for lying or cheating or stealing. Hell is wanting to be something and somewhere different from where you are.

It doesn't matter how long you forget, only how soon you remember!

If sequestered pain made a sound, the atmosphere would be humming all the time.
