“The Truth doesn’t answer anything. The Truth IS everything!”

Whatever you resist you become. If you resist anger, you are always angry. If you resist sadness, you are always sad. If you resist suffering, you are always suffering.

If you have any image of what the Truth is, slay it immediately because that’s not it.

When you let go of the egoic self what you’re getting in exchange is the whole universe.

Now don’t think that awakening is the end. Awakening is the end of seeking, the end of the seeker, but it is the beginning of a life lived from your true nature.

No one can give you the strength of character necessary… Only you can find that passion within that burns with an integrity that will not settle for anything less than the Truth.

You do it anyway. Why? Because you no longer want to suffer. Because you’re willing to be disturbed. You’re willing to be amazed. You’re willing to be surprised.

Love causes us to be deeply connected in an unspoken way. It happens when we’re really available, really open.

At a certain point we need to grow up; we need to look inside ourselves for our inner guidance. There are things most human beings know; they just don’t want to know them.

Retreat is a response to the call of the heart-that call which beckons us toward reality, to the truth of our being, to that which is truly sane, really real and liberating …

So the biggest act of compassion starts within. And when the self is no longer seen as a problem, this is called “the peace that passes all understanding.

Awareness naturally returns to its non-state of absolute unmanifest potential, the silent abyss beyond all knowing.

Unlike science, creationism cannot predict anything, and it cannot provide satisfactory answers about the past.

I did not know that children think the hard questions they ask are easy and thus expect easy answers to them, and that they are disappointed when they get cautious, complex answers.

Faith looks beyond the walls of the obstacle and on to the answer.

The debate [in Undeniable] was nominally about creationism as a “viable” explanation for what we observe around us. For my side, the debate went very well; I’m not sure what I would change, although I can imagine shortening my answers during the rebuttals, perhaps.

The Anarchists answer that the abolition of the State will leave in existence a defensive association, resting no longer on a compulsory but on a voluntary basis, which will restrain invaders by any means that may prove necessary.
