Mainly we obsess on fixing or pacifying the mind. I simply ask you to observe it from a place of neutrality.

Don't remind the world that it is sick and troubled. Remind it that it is beautiful and free.

No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.

At the end of the day, you can have something in your head, something in your hand, or something in your heart. What are you choosing?

All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.

Who reminds you to breathe and to beat your heart? Something is there, taking care.

The greatest healing would be to wake up from what we are not.

You need nothing to be happy - you need something to be sad.

If you seek approval from others in this world, you will not know happiness.

If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.

If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don't identify with anything. Be completely empty - no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.

One who takes the road less traveled earns the rewards most missed.

I'd love to wrap myself inside your sadness and pretend it is mine

The light obtained by setting straw men on fire is not what we mean by illumination.

Adonai, your creations are your reflections, and they show us that you are amazing. Thank you for even the stars up above, that those that look upon them may enjoy their majesty and splendor.

The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog - to wiggle along as far as he can without dying; or, to hang to life until death takes him.

Choosing the right mask helps you... We went through many masks. It was very particular leather that as soon as you smudged it, you had to get a new one. We went through about 55 masks.

You would think that as you get older you would be more disciplined. As I get older I get less disciplined. I just play around!

Listening is selecting and interpreting and acting and making decisions.

Winter dawn is the color of metal, The trees stiffen into place like burnt nerves.

Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.
