Be gentle and forgiving with yourself, abandon any and all shame, and refuse to engage in any self-repudiation.

Everything that happens to us has a blessing built into it.

Well, your whole life is like a checkerboard and there's a sense that you get, especially looking back on it, that you begin to realize and gain awareness that there's something else moving all of these pieces around in your life, and that was really true for me right from the very beginning.

Thousands of children are killed by handguns in the United States each year. What is that about? What are we doing? We accept that? And we accept the presence of these weapons that are in silos and on submarines and airplanes? If any madman gets hold of them - and certainly there are madmen out there who will figure out how to get hold of them, they always have - what are we even making such things for?

Within each and every one of us is a divine power that needs no substance or anything external to know bliss.
