If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is 'the quiet acceptance of what is'.

The fears you don’t face control you. The fears you face, you move beyond.

The soul is infinite, so there's no in or out of it. It is everywhere. There's no place that it is not.

Tell me what you are for, and I will show you what is going to expand in a positive way. Tell me what you are against, and I can show you what is going to expand in a destructive way.

After a while, we start really believing these things are true. People who have had self-defeating behaviors for a long time, such as people who have been overweight since they were children or people with longtime addictions, actually believe there is no other alternative.

People need to learn how to respond to each other's hatreds with love - which is what Jesus taught us, which is what Buddha came here to teach us, which is what Muhammad taught us, which is what all of the great spiritual masters who have ever walked among us who live at those highest energies taught us - responding to force with more force will just create more problems.

Affirm: I place no limits and no restrictions on all that I intend to accomplish and become from here on in.
