Sometimes honesty can be incredibly messy

This life is only the anteroom of a greater reality to come.

It wasn't long ago I was cleaning toilets and now I have protestors. How cool is this?

I think my books give people a language to have a conversation about God that's not religious. There isn't enough new literature that brings the conversation of God into a modern context. I love the Bible, but in the West we've analyzed it until it fits into a structure of control. We need more new stories. We need different ways of looking at things, and I think it's coming.

Authority, as you usually think of it, is merely the excuse the strong use to make others conform to what they want.

Truth will set you free. And Truth has a name.

Paradigms power perception and perceptions power emotions. Most emotions are responses to perception - what you think is true about a given situation. If your perception is false, then your emotional response to it will be false too. So check your perceptions, and beyond that check the truthfulness of your paradigms - what you believe. Just because you believe something firmly doesn't make it true. Be willing to reexamine what you believe.
