- Human beings don't understand what or who they are, and, for having failed to understand the purpose of their existence, they have created one for themselves.
- What is the main misunderstanding about the purpose of existence? That I am owed a living.
- We are takers - I want, I will, I'll do, I'll get - all of which must come after "I'll be."
-
Life is not a race to win, it's a school for our higher education.
-
You must live your life and let the education that comes with every experience produce the change it's intended to.
-
We believe we are moving ourselves and controlling our lives, but we're being moved and are unconscious to that movement.
-
As aspirants, we are led into the hands of others who have been through something similar, and in learning what they have gone through, it stimulates the greater need and depth of our own self-discovery.
-
No other person on the planet can do what you yourself must do in your relationship with the Divine.
-
If you're willing to see, you can become a new human being.
-
A real teacher doesn't just pass on knowledge but stirs the wish for you to understand what they understand.
-
Freedom is inseparable from awakening to an unseen dependency on what humanity glorifies and worships.
-
What we call “religion" is being absorbed into a body of faith that we find consolation in, which is the furthest thing from true spiritual work.
-
Fear exists because of attachment and dependency, but we have no idea how deep that fear runs. When I look for an intellectual construct to explain why I'm afraid, I am conditioned by past experiences that may console me but don't resolve the fear.
-
If you are dependent on anything outside of yourself, you will have fear.
-
Humans are endowed with the capacity to create. But before we are creators, we are first a creation. When we forget this right order, we find ourselves in conflict with life.
-
We are meant to be useful to a greater order, instead of trying to order everything according to our ideas of what the world owes us.
-
If you have the love of something, then that love will use the instrument of imagination to bring you into a deeper relationship with it. In this way, love becomes the master.
-
The body is a type of lightning rod, ceaselessly attracting and resisting innumerable forces. It is intended to be a grounding point. If I'm not in my body, where am I? In thought. If I'm in thought, I will never have a relationship with the present moment.
-
Our view of things is limited to our thoughts about them, which disconnects us from our bodies.
-
We believe there's a drive-thru heaven. If you find a man or woman who is actually awake, you're a fool not to spend as much time as you can with them, because they will never lie to you and feed you "Happy Meals" - they will inspire you to go out and grow your own food.
-
Meditation isn't meant to be used to deliver you into a desired state.
-
You must allow what you're given to prove its value in the moment it's given to you.
-
You cannot take the kingdom of heaven by force.
-
In dying to useless suffering, it becomes useful.
-
What isn't completed in the moment must repeat itself.
-
Time is the distance between good and evil, want and not want. Time only exists psychologically.
-
Thought can't achieve balance because it's a construct of imbalance.
-
"Letting go" is discovering that anything in you that's holding onto anything at all must go.
-
Is the world a better place or worse place because I was in it? Did I spend my life fighting to prove myself, or working to discover? These questions are the true measure of whether the life you’re living is worthwhile.
-
King Solomon had everything, but knew that everything he had was because God gave it to him.
-
There is never a moment that I'm not being given life - I'm just not aware of it.
-
Real gratitude is when you see every moment as a revelation that has come to bring you the gift of new understanding.
-
Faith is what we take part in when we realize the Divine never stops working to ensure that we have the next revelation.
-
Relaxation is necessary and natural, and comes to us in degrees with our discovery of ourselves.
