By focusing on love and cultivating an internal security, we can start to take the steps in our lives to create profound change.

Happiness is a choice I am making now. Once we understand that and find love consciousness, we learn that this place of internal plenitude needs nothing.

You can have all the external experiences but you have to be the love first.

Often we don't change because we're afraid of what might happen. We cling to what we recognize, even if we are steeped in suffering.

Love is very light, very joyful, very simple and innocent.

When we learn to focus on love, grace, and gratitude, life is really quite lovely.

Most people ultimately realize that they can acquire things, change their partner or other things, consume more and still it doesn't work. I'm not criticizing any of this.

I lost everything. When I was 28 years old, I lost my home, my job, my partner. I had many people die in my life. I felt like a total victim.

When we start to heal and perceive what I call love consciousness, we begin to perceive reality.

There's a part of us that is addicted to suffering, that equates love with suffering.

We're like little puppies chasing our tails. We realize we're never getting what we want and then realize we need to do something a bit more profound.

Until you take the first step forward, failure remains reassuringly impossible.

Perfection is real. It occurs when you find that other part of you, that other person, that when combined you become one, perfect being.

I like being brave well enough, but I will be a lazy coward again if you think that would be better.

As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.

It's very confusing to me why people take comedians so seriously.

It is well known that apes in the wild offer spontaneous assistance to each other, defending against leopards, say, or consoling distressed companions with tender embraces.

I have arranged my little life.

I am a fancy dress grump, to be honest.

Sometimes a perceived obstacle is just an opportunity in disguise.

Call it no more free-will, but slavish lust; free to evil, but free from good, till regenerating grace loosens the bands of wickedness.
