“Relationships only work in a spiritual sense when you and I really see that we are one.”

There’s much more in any given moment than we usually perceive, and that we ourselves are much more than we usually perceive. When you know that, part of you can stand outside the drama of your life.

Religions are founded by what mystics say when they come back; but what the mystics say is not the same as what happened to them.

Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use It!

All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion.

It’s all real and it’s all illusory: that’s awareness.

Early in the journey you wonder how long the journey will take and whether you will make it in this lifetime. Later you will see that where you are going is here, and you will arrive now, so you stop asking.

A relationship starting out as one that awakens love can only remain a living vehicle for love to the extent that it is continually made new or reconsecrated.

Just because you are seeing divine light, experiencing waves of bliss, or conversing with Gods and Goddesses is no reason to not know your zip code.

When we’re identified with Awareness, we’re no longer living in a world of polarities. Everything is present at the same time.

You and I are the force for transformation in the world. We are the consciousness that will define the nature of the reality we are moving into.

The dance goes from realizing that you’re separate (which is the awakening) to then trying to find your way back into the totality of which you are not only a part, but which you are.

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can’t be organized or regulated. It isn’t true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.

It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.

Just relax and trust the process.

In mystical traditions, it is one’s own readiness that makes experiences exoteric or esoteric.

One of the hallmarks of an evolved person is the ability to tell the truth with no fear of punishment or expectation of reward.

Anyone who takes it upon himself, on his private authority, to break a bad law, thereby authorizes everyone else to break the good ones.

If the skies fall, one may hope to catch larks.

One may demand of me that I should seek truth, but not that I should find it.

Cracked things often hold out as long as whole things; one takes so much better care of them!

There is only one duty; that is to be happy.

Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one.

By the work one knows the workman.
