“When you have a decision to make, it is good to try to make it from that place of stillness. Come to stillness and wait for an answer that feels good.”

“It is important to understand that sense perceptions, bodily sensations, practical thoughts, creative thoughts, and thoughts about the truth are impersonal. They are not a problem.”

“Find The Human (The Sonnet)
Find the human in you, and,
You'll find the human in everybody.
The way things are inside,
So they are externally.
World is reflection of the self,
Outside is reflection of inside.
Blind heart maketh the world blind,
Kind heart maketh the world kind.
We cover our eyes with our hands,
And weep as children for it is too dark.
We let biases take over our behavior,
Then we shout why the world is so unjust.
Without heart all fancy exterior is delusion,
Only truth in the world is the one internal.”
― Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“When we are in not knowing, we are at the threshold of the Absolute. From there, we receive everything we need at any given moment. If we need knowledge or intelligence, we receive it. The same is true if we need love or beauty. If we need nothing, we receive nothing. We are connected with the root of everything, so we are in total harmony.”

“The only thing that we need to remember is, “I don’t know.” Nobody knows. I am here sitting in a chair like someone who knows, but I don’t know. It just happens, I don’t know how. Every time it happens, I am amazed.”
