“When a group of people come together as a response to that kind of inward call, it creates a very powerful environment, where truth is held in the highest esteem and the reality of our being responds to that deepest intention.”

If you tell yourself a sad story, the body reacts to that. And if you tell yourself a self-aggrandizing story, the body feels puffed up, confident. But when you realize it’s all stories, there can be a vast waking up out of the mind, out of the dream.

This one question-‘What do I know for certain?’-is tremendously powerful. When you look deeply into this question, it actually destroys your world. It destroys your whole sense of self, and it’s meant to.

Nobody can give us what we really already are. Wouldn’t it be terrible if somebody could give you what you really are? …’cause if they could give it to you, they could take it away.

Our illusions-the beliefs we hold on to-are the very doorways to our freedom. We simply have to enter through them without grasping or pushing away. We must not believe them, but we must not run away from them either.

This world is not my concern; it is myself.

Our yearning for truth actually comes from truth.

Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.

As you peel it back, in the heart of nothing, that is love. You are what you are seeking. Life is a set up so that each of us can actually see in ourselves the truth for ourselves.

Actually, all paths lead away from the truth…how’s that? All paths. There’s no such thing as a path to the truth. The truth’s already here, where are you going?

The mind wants to land, to fixate, to hold a concept, but the only way you can be really free is by not fixating. That’s part of true maturity, and it’s one of the hardest things for spiritual people who have had true and powerful revelations to go through.

Relaxing into not knowing is almost like surrendering into a big, comfortable chair; you just fall into a field of possibility.

Until we start to see these false perceptions for what they really are, consciousness will be imprisoned within the dream state.

Love is a flame that burns everything other than itself. It is the destruction of all that is false and the fulfillment of all that is true.

This movement of grasping and aversion gives rise to a sense of a separate ‘me,’ and in turn the sense of ‘me’ strengthens itself this way.

The question of being is everything. Nothing could be more important or consequential-n othing where the stakes run so high.

Completion comes when we not just wake up from all form, from all identification, but when love causes us to re-embrace it all.

If you don’t drop the ego, it will be the cause of your downfall. ⁣

The modern society is a game of crafty egoism.

Try to be wrong once in a while, it’ll do your ego good.

Hate is a choice you make when you keep your ego on top of everything in your life.

A strong egoism is a protection.

To me, music is art and fashion is art, but fame? Fame isn’t art, but the person you become when you’re famous – your alter ego – that’s art.

Ego & anger are the enemies of love.

You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.
