“You too are a work of art.”

To me, God is an intelligent, loving, conscious energy and why do I say that? Well you need energy to create. You have to have a source. It’s undifferentiated energy which has intelligence or it couldn’t create.

Education is about wisdom and the knowledge of how to love and survive.

Remember that an act of love always benefits at least two people.

You still won’t be perfect, but success isn’t about perfection-it is about authenticity. You are a success if you are being your real, authentic self.

You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn’t try to be a tiger, and you shouldn’t try to be something you aren’t. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature.

If something controls you in a way that puzzles you, think of it as a mystery. Mysteries are best approached by closing your eyes and mouth to experience darkness and silence.

The words of love you hear, and the life you feel touching your body and soul, then you know you have discovered the great value of misfortune.

We have to create perfection through love

There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.

Each day becomes more meaningful, and your life is enhanced when your actions are guided by what inspires you.

Open your mind to all possibilities and believe!

It takes more distress and poison to kill someone who has peace of mind and loves life.

Love and kindness are the basis of my religious beliefs. The rituals and outward signs are not as important as one’s actions and deeds. Religion should be a path to God, not something to fight about.

When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. It is time to ask what can we do right, not what did we do wrong. Forgive yourself and move on.

By disregarding intuition in favor of science, or science in favor of instincts, we limit ourselves.

It’s the consciousness that has come into us from other experiences and our consciousness that we remain aware of when we leave our bodies and they communicate with us through dreams, and even through drawings which I do a lot of work with myself.

Worship means reverence and humility. It means revering your real self and humbling delusions. If you can wipe out evil desires and harbor good thoughts, even if nothing shows, it’s worship. Such form is its real form.

I probably couldn’t have the same experience listening to that song because I’m self-conscious about some of my singing parts.

When painters feel the need to make a shift toward self-discovery, they turn to black and white for a time.

Anger, and the self-righteousness that is both the cause and consequence of anger, tends to be easier on the psyche than personal responsibility.

The self is made, not given

Let your vision be world embracing rather than confined to your own self.

We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquility.

The beauty in the losing is a loss finally of self-consciousness. There’s a gorgeous moment that can happen in all kinds of places. It can happen with people, it can happen with nature, and it can happen with my eyes shut anywhere I am.
