“The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.”

You’re willing to realize that maybe everything you’ve ever thought about yourself really isn’t true.

The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. When you start to see the light that you really are, the light waking up in you, the radiance, you realize it has no intention to change you.

Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, ‘I love you,’ he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, ‘I hate you,’ she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views-literally.

Enlightenment is, in the end, nothing more than the natural state of being.

To be free of fear is to be full of Love.

Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.

If we know who and what we are very thoroughly, we will express and manifest that in what we do. It is all very simple.

Most human beings spend their lives battling with opposing inner forces: what they think they should do versus what they are doing; how they feel about themselves versus how they are; whether they think they’re right and worthy or wrong and unworthy.

Since everything is already the Supreme Buddha Nature, where are you going to find it?

The process of finding the truth may not be a process by which we feel increasingly better and better. It may be a process by which we look at things honestly, sincerely, truthfully, and that may or may not be an easy thing to do.

What the universe will manifest when you are in alignment with it is a lot more interesting than what you try to manifest

A quiet mind married to integrity of heart is the birth of wisdom.

Truth has no finality to it. It is not something to be held on to. Truth is discovered minute to minute or not at all.

Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.

When emptiness is still, that is eternity. When it moves, that is love.

Gratitude is the appreciation of what is, of life, of existence, of anybody and anything, for just the way it is.

What gets taken away are all the exterior means we thought we wanted love to come to us. You have the choice to notice the perfect set up to see love is exactly what you are.

If you resist confusion,you are always confused. We think that we resist certain states because they are there, but actually they are there because we resist them.

When you get out of the driver’s seat, you find that life can drive itself, that actually life has always been driving itself. When you get out of the driver’s seat, it can drive itself so much easier-it can flow in ways you never imagined.

I love design and actually went to school for a bit for graphic design, so it isn’t so much ‘pressure’ for me; it’s a way to be creative, and I really enjoy it.

I was like: “I’m actually doing this.” And now I feel more confident going into something.

I actually did a remix for Katy Perry, and her management didn’t respond.

I come from an environment where the men actually say, “Is it OK if I take off my jacket?” in a meeting. Everyone wears suits; it is a very dressed-up world.

I didn’t go to art school. So, I never had this moment of taking time to actually learn how to make things and learn about art history and learn about people that came before me.
