“As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be you can’t see how it is.”

When your center is firm, when your faith is strong and unwavering, then it will not matter what company you keep.

Inspiration is God making contact with itself.

We’re all just walking each other home.

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.

To him who has had the experience no explanation is necessary, to him who has not, none is possible.

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.

Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.

The desire that guides me in all I do is the desire to harness the forces of nature to the service of mankind.

Desire backed by faith knows no such word as impossible.

Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch.

Desire something and don’t just care what you have to go through to get it.

To understand the limitation of things, desire them.

Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.

I am not poor. Poor are those who desire many things.
