Quotes from this Download:

“When you go inside, you are going into your aloneness. Nobody can go there with you.”

“When you touch into the One within you, you’ve touched into the One within all things. It’s the same infinity.”

“The moment you can enter into your aloneness, the only thing you can take inside is your awareness—not even your thoughts about awareness.”

“As soon as you say to yourself, ‘I am this,’ it also means, ‘I am not that.’”

“The infinite perceives itself from all parts of itself.”

“Play your part. Play it well. Play it with abandon. But don’t be identified with it.”
