Quotes:

“Emotional maturity is not something that automatically happens because we have some degree of spiritual insight."

“This is about being able to find a reference within yourself that can be its own resource of peace. That inner resource of peace is actually your own true nature.”

“At the deepest foundation of your being, when you strip away all that is nonessential, there is just this field of awareness. The quality of awareness doesn’t come to peace. It is at peace all the time.”

“Being ‘only awareness’ is not something that you do; it’s something you notice is always present within you."

“Nobody is making you feel what you are feeling. Your reactions are caused by how you interpret any situation. This is so important because it means that you ultimately become your own resource of emotional freedom and truth.”

“The predominant belief in Western culture is a sense of unworthiness. We need to look at this core sense of unworthiness, this feeling that essentially there is something wrong.”

“One of the primary ways we suffer is when we are addicted to not wanting the world to be the way it is.”

“Ego loves to be served; the soul loves to serve.”

“If it’s all one, then ultimately this humanness is also a manifestation of the one reality: Buddha nature, Christ consciousness, God, or whatever you might call it.”

“Whatever we suppress tends to turn into a darker and more shadowy form than what we started out with. It’s almost as if it’s trying to insist that you deal with it.”

“We need the challenges of the world. They drive us to become more clear by shining the light on our shadows. That’s part of how life wakes up to itself.”

“The soul has a different life orientation than the me. It doesn’t care about success, or being liked or celebrated. It’s that within us which is un-self-centered. It’s not trying to meet the ‘me’s’ demands.”

“To embody deep spiritual insight, we must develop a courageous and loving heart that can act and respond to the challenges of living from the ground of our being.”

“It’s our authentic concern for the community of all beings that keeps us from being too self-oriented. We become unconflicted and spiritually clear enough so that we can actually contribute and participate in life in a way that’s much more aligned with Truth.”
