QUOTES

ELDERS
Wisdom is one of the few things that does not diminish with age

INTERCONNECTION
We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.

LIVING A LIFE OF COMPASSION
Do what you can on this plane to relieve suffering by constantly working on yourself to be an instrument for the cessation of suffering. To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.

I help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people. . . To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.

I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn't create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.

It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

LOVE
Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.

The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it’s in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I’m caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.
