...once Again We Face A Paradox, For It Appears That Softening Your Heart And Gently Tending Its Wounds Will Protect You From Evil. Building A Fortress And Defending Yourself Behind It Will Only Make You More Vulnerable. Healing Your Own Heart Is The Single Most Powerful Thing You Can Do To Change The World. Your Own Transformation Will Enable You To Withdraw So Completely From Evil That You Contribute To It By Not One Word, One Thought, Or One Breath. This Healing Process Is Like Recovering Your Soul.

Spiritually, No Action Is More Important Than Surrender. Surrender Is The Tenderest Impulse Of The Heart, Acting Out Of Love To Give Whatever The Beloved Wants. Surrender Is Being Alert To Exactly What Is Happening Now, Not Imposing Expectations From The Past. Surrender Is Faith That The Power Of Love Can Accomplish Anything, Even When You Cannot Foresee The Outcome Of A Situation.

Each Of Us Plays Four Roles In Relation To The Brain. We Lead, We Inspire, We Invent, And We Use It. Most People Do Not Actively Use Their Brains. They Passively Let Their Feelings And Thoughts Control Their Lives. They Don't Invent New Ways To Use Their Brains, Either, Settling Instead For The Same Routine And Repetitive Thoughts Every Day. But If You Master All Four Roles, You Create Your Super Brain. When You Are The Active Observer Of Your Feelings And Thoughts, You Become The User Of Your Brain. Your Super Brain Then Serves You, Not Vice Versa.

The Willingness To Reach Inside Every Part Of Yourself Opens The Door To Total Understanding. You Place Your Entire Identity On The Line, Not Just An Isolated Part. This May Sound Daunting, But Actually It’s The Most Natural Way To Approach Any Situation. When You Hold Some Part Of Yourself In Reserve You Deny It Exposure To Life; You Repress Its Energy And Keep It Form Understanding What It Needs To Know.

Despite What You've Been Conditioned To Believe, Sexual Desire Is Sacred And Virtuous. When You And Your Beloved Merge Physically And Emotionally, You Go Beyond The Boundaries Of The Ego And Experience Timelessness, Naturalness, Playfulness And Defenselessness .

The Abuse Of Food, Alcohol, Or Drugs Is Essentially A Material Response To A Need That Isn't Really Physical At Its Foundation.. What We Are Looking For Is Pure Joy Rather Than Mere Sensation, Or Even Oblivion Of Sensation. Addiction Is Unrecognized Spiritual Craving.

The More Expanded Your Sense Of Self, The More Possibilities Are Released From The Level Of The Soul.

Every Instance Since The Beginning Of Time Has Been A Coincidence: A Leaf In A Tree Embodies The Combined Efforts Of The Earth, Water, Wind, Stars, And Sunshine. When You Realize That Everything Has Led To The Present, To This Moment, You See There's Nothing To Be Afraid Of, Nothing To Be Burdened By. The Present Moment Is The Moment Of Arrival - And It Took The Entire Universe To Create It. All Is As It Should Be.

When We Decide To Take Back Our Own Power, We Discover That The True Solver Of Problems Is Intuition, Not Reason.

Success Comes When People Act Together; Failure Tends To Happen Alone.

To Limit Yourself To A Label Of "alcoholic" Is Masochistic And False If You Have Awakened A Deeper Spiritual Identity Within And Have Come To Know Your True Self As Unconditioned Pure Awareness. This Doesn't Mean That Recovering Alcoholics Don't Have To Be Concerned With Relapsing, They Must Always Remain Vigilant. The Power Of Addiction Should Not Be Underestimated. This Exercise In Vigilance Can Become A Spiritual Tool Of Liberation As Well. Always Being Aware Of Choosing Between Real Happiness And False Happiness Is Also The Discrimination Required To Attain Enlightenment.

It Is Only Because You Take Your Mind To Be Yourself, And Make It Dwell On What You Are Not, That You Lose Your Sense Of Well-being.

In Every Perceived Failure Or Setback Is The Seed Of Success.

Don't Simply Dismiss A Coincidence And Let It Drift Away. Life Is Totally Interconnected. These Unusual 'things' Are Simply Connections That Surprise You Because You Aren't Used To Seeing Life Except In Fragments. Now It Is Beginning To Piece Itself Together.

One Of The Keys To Harnessing This Potentially Unlimited Power Of The Mind Is To Expand Your Level Of Self-awareness.

The Coexistence Of Opposites - Stillness And Dynamism - Makes You Independent... When You Quietly Acknowledge This Exquisite Coexistence Of Opposites, You Align Yourself With The World Of Energy - The Quantum Soup, The Non-material Non-stuff That Is The Source Of The Material World. This World Energy Is Fluid, Dynamic, Resilient, Changing, Forever In Motion. And Yet It Is Also Non-changing, Still, Quiet, Eternal And Silent.

We Can Shift From Time-bound Awareness Into Timeless Awareness . . . To The Ecstasy That Can Only Be Found In The Present Moment.

Love Is Like Water. If It Doesn't Flow, It Stagnates.

The Rig Veda Defines Yoga As A Union Or "yoking" Of The Material And Spiritual Worlds, And It Doesn't Describe Any Physical Postures Other Than The Traditional Cross-legged Meditation Pose.

A Flow Of Happiness And Abundance Will Manifest When You Have Reached The Deepest Level Of Yourself.

Let Us Not Demand Of Ourselves That We Alone Must Be The Agent Of Change. In A Fire Brigade Everyone Passes Along A Bucket, But Only The Last Person Puts Out The Fire. None Of Us Know Where We Stand In Line. We May Be Here Simply To Pass A Bucket; We May Be Called On To Play A Major Role. In Either Case, All We Can Do Is Think, Act, And Say. Let Us Direct Our Thoughts, Words, And Actions To Peace. That Is All We Can Do. Let The Results Be What They Will Be.

Love Is Considered The Most Basic Emotion That Human Awareness Can Feel; Therefore, It Is The Closest To The Source Of Life. The Burst Of Well-being You Feel When You Fall In Love Is Due To The Fact That You Unconsciously Open The Channels Of Awareness That Allow More Prana [life Force] To Flow.

I Teach People That No Matter What The Situation Is, No Matter How Chaotic, No Matter How Much Drama Is Around You, You Can Heal By Your Presence If You Just Stay Within Your Center.

Even The Most Time-honoured Truths Do Not Have To Be Accepted Until They Are Your Truths.

Our Thinking And Our Behaviour Are Always In Anticipation Of A Response. It Is Therefore Fear-based.

In The Teen Years, We Often Confuse Self-image With Self-esteem. Teenagers Are Very Influenced By The Image Others Have Of Them. All Sorts Of Complexes Come From This.

A Fixed Habit Is Supported By Old, Well-worn Pathways In The Brain. When You Make Conscious Choices To Change A Habit, You Create New Pathways. At The Same Time, You Strengthen The Decision-making Function Of The Cerebral Cortex While Diminishing The Grip Of The Lower, Instinctual Brain. So Without Judging Your Habit, Whether It Feels Like A Good One Or A Bad One, Take Time To Break The Routine, Automatic Response That Habit Imposes.

There Are No Extra Pieces In The Universe. Everyone Is Here Because He Or She Has A Place To Fill, And Every Piece Must Fit Itself Into The Big Jigsaw Puzzle.

How Do We Awaken To This True Self? By Going Within And Putting Our Attention On The Silent Presence In Our Heart - The Silent Witness That Is Detached From Sensory Experience And At The Same Time Enjoys That Experience In Complete Freedom.

Compassion Is Subtler Than Vitamin C, But Both Are Real Needs.

Life Is About Fulfillment. If Your Life Isn't Fulfilled, Your Stomach Can Never Supply What's Missing.

In The Past Few Decades, There Has Been A Revolution In How We Perceive The Body. What Appears To Be An Object, A Three-dimensional Anatomical Structure, Is Actually A Process, A Constant Flow Of Energy And Information.

We Confuse Ourselves With Space-time Events, When In Fact We Are The Ones Who Generate These Space-time Events.

If You Are Having The Experience Of Anxiety, Your Body Is Making Adrenaline And Cortisone, If You Are Having The Experience Of Tranquility, Your Body Starts Making Valium, If You Are Having The Experience Of Exhilaration And Joy, Your Body Makes Interleukins And Interferons Which Are Powerful Anti-cancer Drugs.
