Quotes from this Download Set:

“In every illusion there is a seed of truth; when you find the seed, the illusion disappears.”

“Stop looking for permanence in a sea of change.”

“It’s not just about waking up; it’s about loving the world so much that spirit offers itself back into form as a redeeming presence.”

“Once we allow the world to break our heart, then the world will no longer appear as broken.”

“The greatest mystery of any human being’s life is their own life.”

“All the definition after ‘I’ is storytelling.”

“Spirituality is either an avenue of seeking a preconceived idea or you approach it like an avenue of discovery . . . now.”

“A lineage is like an ancient flow of energy.”

“It’s not that the sense of self disappears; what leaves is your identity. You realize your sense of self is empty.”

“We can’t stop resistance; we just see it and the resistance starts to let go of itself.”

“When infinite potential looks upon the world, it sees that everything is itself.”
