“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.”

Feel this moment, see it with a willingness to experience it deeply, whether it be good, bad, or indifferent. Emotionally and feelingly be fully present, right here, vulnerable, with your heart. Just be present. Don’t live from your conditioned mind, live from unconditional truth.

So most of us human beings have a very deep underlying conditioning that says that just to be who we are is not OK…….

The realization of Truth and Reality can never be created by the mind … it always comes as a gift of grace. Inquiry clears away misperceptions and illusions, making one available to the movements of grace.

If you tell yourself a sad story, the body reacts to that. And if you tell yourself a self-aggrandizing story, the body feels puffed up, confident. But when you realize it’s all stories, there can be a vast waking up out of the mind, out of the dream.

This one question-‘What do I know for certain?’-is tremendously powerful. When you look deeply into this question, it actually destroys your world. It destroys your whole sense of self, and it’s meant to.

Nobody can give us what we really already are. Wouldn’t it be terrible if somebody could give you what you really are? …’cause if they could give it to you, they could take it away.

Our illusions-the beliefs we hold on to-are the very doorways to our freedom. We simply have to enter through them without grasping or pushing away. We must not believe them, but we must not run away from them either.

This world is not my concern; it is myself.

Our yearning for truth actually comes from truth.

Why is it that so few people are truly free? Because they try to conform to ideas, concepts, and beliefs in their heads.

As you peel it back, in the heart of nothing, that is love. You are what you are seeking. Life is a set up so that each of us can actually see in ourselves the truth for ourselves.

Actually, all paths lead away from the truth…how’s that? All paths. There’s no such thing as a path to the truth. The truth’s already here, where are you going?

The mind wants to land, to fixate, to hold a concept, but the only way you can be really free is by not fixating. That’s part of true maturity, and it’s one of the hardest things for spiritual people who have had true and powerful revelations to go through.

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.

There’s something about an American soldier you can’t explain. They’re so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.

Is a currency worth anything if no one wants it? We used to buy shoes in Italy. Remember?

One can learn anything, anything at all, I thought, if provided by a gifted and passionate teacher.

He must train himself in ruthless intolerance-that is to throw away anything that is false no matter how much he might love that page or that paragraph.

Never take away anything if you have nothing better to offer

Everyone seems to have internalized the fact that you can say anything you want at a televised debate, and only a tiny fraction of the audience will ever see a fact-check. So why not claim the moon is square?

If the North wanted to hack anything in the world, anything in the world, really, they are going to go hack a movie? Really?!

A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything.
