QUOTES:

“See the things we don’t want to face without judgment.”

“What is it that you keep habitually turning away from?”

“The spiritual heart is the connect between heaven and earth.”

“As much as possible, just abide in and experience the self as a living mystery. There’s something about the willingness to sustain that lived experience that allows the doors inside to open.”

“The mystery of life is where all the juice is.”

“Meditation is like learning to ride a bike. It’s all about balance. When you start to let the energetic body lead, it helps you to find the balance.” 

“The frightened parts of us need to know that we are a safe presence for them to reveal themselves to.” 

“It is the emptying out of you that makes room to see true nature.”

“We have to be conscious and responsible without putting out fear and anxiety. Whatever we are doing needs to be an expression of our love. ”

“Even samadhi can get unbalanced.”

“If you want to know your priority in your life right now, just look right down at your feet.”

“Give all of yourself to listening a little bit each day.”

“The idea and image of God belongs forever undefined because every definition limits it. How can you define something that has no opposite, no other?”

“A mature spirit has one foot in the domain of divinity and one foot in the domain of humanity.”

“It is important to see ego is an activity; it sustains itself by linking one moment to the next so life seems like a continuity. That’s the primary activity of self.”

Recorded in Pacific Grove, California on December 1-6, 2019.
