Exploration in the world alone is useless, as long as the nature that is searching does not know itself.

Revelation is always about relationship, and without that understanding nothing can change for the individual.

Faith is what happens when an individual begins to do what he or she was previously afraid of doing. Wisdom comes from a marriage between contemplation and action.

Your real inner work is not something to get through. Your work is about something higher getting through to you.

Revelation is almost always about the end of something. Without something coming to an end, nothing new can begin.

Everything that is brought into this world is brought into the world in order to develop.

Trying to live up to an image of who you are supposed to be is the cause of interior chaos.

If you don't have an innate need to understand yourself, then every last question about how to improve yourself is a way in which this lower nature hides from itself the way that it actually is.

If you would like to know the extent to which you are ruled by false personality, then look at how much you feel the need to please other people, look at how much you desperately want to fit in.

False personality is always in a constant state of trying to prepare for what it does not know is coming.

Natural personality does not cause problems. It is the natural way through which a person interacts with life. False personality is an unnatural problem-maker.

God never acts in a way to change His creatures that is against His creatures' will.

The person who does not do the interior work to change will become more and more bound up by their own conditioning.

Everyday of your life has been a recurrence of the day before because the nature within you that meets life has not really changed.

In general, you do not know that you want something from other people until they don't give it to you.

We are not aware of the extent to which we are dependent upon others to tell us who we are.

False personality is a predetermined relationship with everything in the moment, totally dependent upon exterior conditions and other people for confirmation.

Everything that the mind creates in order to keep itself in place will always be out of place.
