“In reality there are no separate events. Life moves along like water, it’s all connected to the source of the river is connected to the mouth and the ocean.”

People become concerned with being more humble than other people.

The world is filled with love-play, from animal lust to sublime compassion.

Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.

Just as money is not real, consumable wealth, books are not life. To idolize scriptures is like eating paper currency.

A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.

You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.

I have no other self than the totality of things of which I am aware.

Stay in the center, and you will be ready to move in any direction.

We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.” Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

Human desire tends to be insatiable.

I owe my solitude to other people.

When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us.

We know that from time to time, there arise among human beings, people who seem to exude love as naturally as the sun gives out heat.

Hurrying and delaying are alike ways of trying to resist the present.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

Reading and writing and the preservation of language and its forms and the kind of eloquence and the kind of beauty which the language is capable of is terribly important to the human beings because this is connected to thought.

I can connect Nothing with nothing

Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good.

I miss that feeling of connection. Knowing he was out there somewhere thinking about me at the same time I was thinking about him.

I just make music however I feel and pray that it connects, and if it does, I’m super thankful. I think genres are more for other people, not for yourself.

It is easier to remove tyrants and destroy concentration camps than to kill the ideas that gave them birth.

Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected.

I make music for people to relate to and to connect with me. I want to tap into different emotions.
