“Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.”

There is nothing wrong with thought and it can be used whenever necessary. But in every moment you can choose to follow your thoughts or you can recognize that which is not thinking. Don’t try to stop thinking, let it happen. Just recognize that which is not thinking.

There’s a great space in which this moment takes place. There’s a great silence that is listening to the thoughts.

It is good to remember that the goal of Buddhism is to create Buddhas, not Buddhists, as the goal of Christianity is to create Christs, not Christians.

Let go of all ideas and images in your mind, they come and go and aren’t even generated by you. So why pay so much attention to your imagination when reality is for the realizing right now?

When we see the world through our thoughts, we stop experiencing life as it really is and others as they really are.

Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretence. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.

When you rest in quietness and your image of yourself fades, and your image of the world fades, and your ideas of others fade, what’s left? A brightness, a radiant emptiness that is simply what you are.

In True Meditation, we’re in the body as a means to transcend it. It is paradoxical that the greatest doorway to the transcendence of form is through form itself.

That there is nothing to support, that the whole ego experience was a flimsy illusion. So you stand alone but are never, never lonely because everywhere you look, all you see is That, and you are That.

There is only consciousness. There is no individual apart from consciousness who is conscious.

True intelligence does not derive from thought. True intelligence uses thought.

When you realize what you are now, the issue of death will solve itself.

In the heart of a human being, emptiness becomes love. When we touch that Source, instantly the love is present. Literally, the divine becomes human and the human becomes divine.

The door to God is the insecurity of not knowing anything. Bear the grace of that uncertainty and all wisdom will be yours.

Inherent in the impulse to be free, is insecurity. The impulse to be free comes from outside of the mind, and because of this, it makes the mind feel very insecure.

What if you let go of every bit of control and every urge that you have, right down to the most infinitesimal urge to control anything, anywhere, including anything that may be happening with you at this moment?

I love being on stage, I love being able to tell a story, I love the fact that the audience listens and laughs at it. It makes me happy, and it’s what I live for.

It is in virtue of unity that beings are beings.

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being.

You have to love it more than you ever thought of loving something that wasn’t a human being. The demands will kick you down and rob your life – but yet, it is so rewarding.

Ain’t no man can avoid being born average, but there ain’t no man got to be common.

My advice wouldn’t be good to anybody. I don’t see it really being greeted with thunderous applause.

We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order.

Being an entrepreneur is my dream job, as it tests ones tenacity.
