- There exists an unfolding revelation that allows you to take part in what releases you from a consciousness that previously limited you.
- The kind of inquiry that is required of an aspirant necessitates a distinct kind of honesty.
- Most of our conflict with others is born out of an unseen dependency upon images we have of ourselves.
- Growing up we were taught to protect ourselves from and be suspicious of anything that is seen as a threat, so that we end up being on guard in every moment. We believe that consciousness is our own.
- The consciousness we presently live from looks at the majority of its relationships as either useful or not useful according to its agenda.
- The first purpose of any relationship -- wanted or not -- is to reveal and then serve the purpose of a greater whole that gives rise to the parts involved in that relationship.
- I gaze at the world around me, and without knowing it, I gaze upon the reflection of myself within myself.
- Joy is the unity that happens in those moments when we perceive that the observer is the observed.
- A moment that you don't want can be used to enrich you if you are willing to be the whole of that experience, not reject it.
- When you deny a relationship, you also deny revelation of your consciousness.
- We are not intended to deny our reactions to life's endless relationships, but to allow the content of ourselves to be revealed via those reactions.
- We begin to work for ourselves when we are awakened to, and then start to struggle -- consciously -- with our negative reactions, including all their finite forms created by identifying with the useless suffering they engender.
- We begin to work with others, our "neighbors," as we realize the following truth: they are not responsible for our negative reactions; rather, each troubling relationship is created to reflect and reveal the presence of a lower level of consciousness that would rather see others suffer... than have to suffer itself.
- We begin to serve the world as we realize that who we are -- our true Self -- is our "neighbor," and that living only in the service of our self-centered interests... serves no one, let alone ourselves.
- Serving a greater Good is the same as serving what's Good for one and for all.
- You may not be able to stop your reactions from appearing, but you do not have to run with them.
- What you see doesn't unfold outside of you. It unfolds within you.
- You do not have to think about how to use the moment, instead give yourself to the moment, open to revelation. There is no answer outside of your relationship to the moment, the direct revelation.
- The part of us that is struggling with thought is never going to sort things out.
- There is no 'I' in the word "love."
