“The freer I get, the higher I go. The higher I go, the more I see. The more I see, the less I know. The less I know, the more I’m free.”

Now is now. Are you going to be here or not?

It’s very hard to grow because it’s difficult to let go of the models of ourselves in which we’ve invested so heavily.

In our relationships, how much can we allow them to become new, and how much do we cling to what they used to be yesterday?

Learn to watch your drama unfold while at the same time knowing you are more than your drama.

The most exquisite paradox, as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can’t have it. The minute you don’t want power, you’ll have more than you ever dreamed possible.

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

All acts of healing are ultimately our selves healing our Self.

When we see the Beloved in each person, it’s like walking through a garden, watching flowers bloom all around us.

Information is just bits of data. Knowledge is putting them together. Wisdom is transcending them.

You two are together in the stars, but not in this world, in this life.

What we’re seeing out there is the projection of where we’re at-the projection of the clingings of our minds.

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.

Allow yourself to transform as many times as you need to be truly free

Men are mistaken in thinking themselves free; their opinion is made up of consciousness of their own actions, and ignorance of the causes by which they are determined.

Expectations are the mental prison. Free your mind with no expectations.

For a people is only as great, as free, as lofty, as advanced as its women are free, noble and progressive.

I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.

I prayed for freedom for twenty years, but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

Every time I embrace a black woman I’m embracing slavery, and when I put my arms around a white woman, well, I’m hugging freedom.

The silver trump of freedom roused in my soul eternal wakefulness.
