You're creating it all. Nobody else is doing it to you.

Love is giving and it has nothing to do with what you receive.

Most people think that God wants us to demonstrate our love for God by having churches and by having symbols - and I think that's a huge error.

Get your passion on the paper. Detach from the outcome. Forget about whether it's going to get published.

Softly and kindly remind yourself, ''I cannot own anything.'' It is a valuable thought to keep in mind as you struggle to improve your financial picture, worry about investments, and plan how to acquire more and more. It is a universal principle which you are part of. You must release everything when you truly awaken. Are you letting your life go by in frustration and worry over not having enough? If so, relax and remember that you only get what you have for a short period of time. When you awaken you will see the folly of being attached to anything.

My work to me is more like what the Native Americans say: When we walk upon the earth, we always place our feet very carefully upon the ground, because we know the faces of our future generations are looking up at us from below, and we never forget them. I think as a culture today we've forgotten them. This work is a way to help us remember them. It's a way for us not only to find meaning in our individual lives, but to extend that approach all across the planet. Because if we don't, we won't have a planet.

I absolutely believe the species, the planet and the Universe can't survive if we function on hate.
