“Freedom and Love arise when you die into the unknown mystery of being.”

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.

Do not seek after what you yearn for, seek the source of the yearning itself.

This awake silence is available to anyone in this moment. All you have to do is stop using your mind to look for it. It doesn’t know where to find it.

Be a true representative of the goodness in your heart, and don’t expect it to be easy or even noticed.

One must be willing to stand alone – in the unknown, with no reference to authority or the past or any of one’s conditioning. One must stand where no one has stood before in complete nakedness, innocence, and humility.

Truth is quite literally the only thing that does exist. It is not hidden but in plain view, not lacking but abundantly present.

The main requirement for spiritual growth: A yearning to know who you really are.

It simply means that if this desire to feel good is stronger than the yearning to see, know, and experience Truth, then this desire will always be distorting the perception of what is Real, while corrupting one’s deepest integrity.

What is really important you can’t understand with your mind.

Faith is a withholding of conclusion so that you allow what is to arise.

When we really start to take a look at who we think we are… we start to see that while we may have various thoughts, beliefs, and identities, they do not individually or collectively tell us who we are.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world; and if in the present life his happiness arises from the subduing of his desires, it will arise in the next from the gratification of them.

Socialism is not spontaneous. It does not arise of itself. It has abiding principles according to which the major means of production and distribution ought to be socialised if exploitation of the many by the few is to be prevented; if, that is to say, egalitarianism in the economy is to be protected.

True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one’s self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

Violence arises not out of superfluity of power but out of powerlessness.

So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.

The creative act arises out of the struggle of human beings with and against that which limits them.

Creativity arises out of the tension between spontaneity and limitations, the latter (like the river banks) forcing the spontaneity into the various forms which are essential to the work of art or poem.

True character arises from a deeper well than religion.
