QUOTES:

“Sangha isn’t just people that believe the same stuff you do—that’s a cult. Sangha is whoever you feel this deeper, heartful kind of connection with, like you’re sharing in this perpetual journey of unfolding the truth and the meaning of existence.”

“Turn inside and let yourself, for a moment, be a mystery to you.”

“No matter how clear we get, until we die, we still are human beings. We may be the consciousness that animates them, but we have a human element.”

“When you meditate, you are confronting yourself. It’s the only thing that’s there. You’re just meeting whatever you are in that moment, with no escape.”

“Imagine, just for fun, that all of a sudden, you blink your eyes and whatever your narrative is, is gone. Whether you’re good or bad, worthy or unworthy, spiritual, unspiritual, talented, untalented. Whatever the narrative—blink, gone!”

Recorded in San Rafael, California on September 6, 2025.
