The chief thing that separates us from God is the thought that we are separated from God.

Just by the very nature of our birth, we are on the spiritual journey.

God's first language is Silence. Everything else is a translation.

I venture to say that it's not enough to respect and tolerate religions other than our own.

What I really wanted was to fall in love with God. It's amazing what obstacles there are within us, or at least in me, that seem to slow this process.

In human relationships, as mutual love deepens, there comes a time when two friends convey their exchanges without words. They can sit in silence sharing an experience or simply enjoying each other's presence without saying anything.

Over time we are able to undermine habitual modes of thinking formed by our self-made self in early childhood, which tries to squeeze happiness from the gratification of our desires for the symbols in our culture of survival and security, power and control, and affection and esteem.
