QUOTES: 

“Listen to the quiet places inside because God knows we listen to the racket!”

“Meditation is allowing the body to lead the mind.”

“Let the mind connect with the body with a benevolent attitude.”

“The more we get self out of awakening, the more ongoing it becomes.”

“We can experience both the unity and the distinctiveness of existence simultaneously.”

“When you allow limitations, all of a sudden you don’t feel limited.”

“This moment is our true nature.”

“When the spiritual instinct arises, the ego can start to feel and attach its own desires onto that longing.”

“What would it mean to give yourself entirely to the moment and to the spiritual instinct?”

“Without an entire cosmos, there wouldn’t be a grain of sand.”

“The cause of anything that’s ever happened is the cause of everything that’s ever happened.”

“Everything, every moment, is arising as a result of every other moment that ever happened throughout space and time.”

“What is it that endlessly looks to define ourselves?”

“Interconnectedness does away with blame.”

“How are you going to move in a world where everything is God?”

“Abide in non-abiding. Don’t land anywhere.”

“Sitting with a cup of tea is as much awakening as the biggest experience that ever happened.”
