“We eventually learn that emotional closure is our own action. We can be responsible for it. In any moment, we can choose to open or to close.”

The way a man penetrates the world should be the same way he penetrates his woman: not merely for personal gain or pleasure, but to magnify love, openness, and depth.

Your heart knows the truth of openness and suffers the tense lie of your closure.

You should do whatever feels right in your deepest heart. Feel deep as consciousness, open as water, now, and feel how to live with a wide-open heart. Feel how to live as love without bondage.

Spiritual practice is the capacity to offer your love even when you feel hurt, closed down, tense, angry, misunderstood, or hated.

Knowing the Truth is Fairly Useless. Feeling it is Profound. Living it Makes All the Difference.

Whereas women are most turned on by a man’s depth of presence, men are most turned on by a woman’s radiance and energy: how she moves, moans, smiles, and opens in love.

Infinite Love is who we really are and who we refuse to be. This refusal is our most essential tension.

Every moment of your life is either a test or a celebration.

Chronic dissatisfaction is how you sense that you are living a lie.

You’ll never get what you really want. All you can do is give what you really want!

We must see that we are afraid of the thing we most desire, and so we live a mediocre life, never bringing to consummation the primary impulse of our heart.

A fearful man who knows he is fearful is far more trustable than a fearful man who isn’t aware of his fear.

Instant enlightenment is to give all your happiness away to others.

Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women.

You are not only a man, you are a superior man: a man who does his best to live as love in the world and in his intimacy, a man whose heart remains open and whose truth remains strong.

Make your own decision, based on your deepest intuitive wisdom and knowledge. You may make the right decision or the wrong one, but whatever happens, it is your best shot, and you will strengthen your capacity for future action.

As President Nixon says, presidents can do almost anything, and President Nixon has done many things that nobody would have thought of doing.

To wish for change will change nothing; To make the decision to take action right now will change everything.

Jesus does not demand great actions from us, but simply surrender and gratitude.

When a man takes time to consider whether he will do a good or civil action, be assured he will never do it. The baser feelings, the calculations of interest and timidity, always prevail.

I am emboldened, not cowed, by the words and actions of Trump and his circle. I believe many others are as well. Together we will stand in opposition. I’m not going anywhere, and I won’t be silenced.

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.

Feeling compassion for ourselves in no way releases us from responsibility for our actions. Rather, it releases us from the self-hatred that prevents us from responding to our life with clarity and balance.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.
