“But if we are truly happy inside, then age brings with it a maturity, a depth, and a power that only magnifies our radiance.”

Every moment of your life is either a test or a celebration.

Chronic dissatisfaction is how you sense that you are living a lie.

You’ll never get what you really want. All you can do is give what you really want!

We must see that we are afraid of the thing we most desire, and so we live a mediocre life, never bringing to consummation the primary impulse of our heart.

A fearful man who knows he is fearful is far more trustable than a fearful man who isn’t aware of his fear.

Instant enlightenment is to give all your happiness away to others.

Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women.

You are not only a man, you are a superior man: a man who does his best to live as love in the world and in his intimacy, a man whose heart remains open and whose truth remains strong.

Make your own decision, based on your deepest intuitive wisdom and knowledge. You may make the right decision or the wrong one, but whatever happens, it is your best shot, and you will strengthen your capacity for future action.

You are either withholding your love in fear or giving your deepest gifts.

When fear dissolves, you no longer separate yourself from this single flow of immense force. Love is continuity with infinite life force, a Oneness of being with no separation. Love is the key to opening to this flow of life force.

The only way to live free, the only way to live your life as an offering of love, is to feel everything fully and live open.

By learning to open your heart and body while embracing and trusting all energies, from rough ravishment to sublime gentleness, you can open to be lived by the mystery that lives the entire universe.

When you are in love with a man or a woman, the love you feel does not come from him or her; it is the love flowing from you own heart that you feel. Your partner is simply giving you an excuse to love. Love is always found flowing in your heart, not in your family, lover, career or art.

Live with your lips pressed against your fears, kissing your fears, neither pulling back nor aggressively violating them.

The real practice of love goes beyond satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Wallowing in pleasure can be just as limiting as wallowing in pain if you don’t open your heart beyond the satisfaction of your personal emotional needs.
