Fear is no way to live

Love first, then work

The heart is where one can live

Light is a very powerful protective force

Act from the fullness of being

Love is the only way to synergise fear

It is vulnerable to be a human being. Our souls suffer the thorns of living in clay. Our bodies suffer the pain of consciousness.

Let not religion divide us. Let nothing divide us

It is alienating for a woman to believe in a male god.

The root of all discomfort is alienation

What value is a democracy that denies a voice to half of the people all of the time.

Each person is a sliver making the whole, each however horrendous is necessary to the whole.

'god is dead' because he is old

There is no utopia which doesn't involve getting rid of (however lovingly) undesirable elements

The more I defend myself, the more frail I become

You cannot open to light without opening to dark

The ego is servant, not mistress. Do not allow the ego to stage a military coup

Life`s journey is about growing in love

EM Forster`s`Howard's End` teaches us it is preferable to trust, even if the other is not trustworthy

Sadness is itself a letting go

Love is never selfish. When I love myself, I also love others.

Beauty is one doorway to being

Awareness is everything

Consciousness is, in its nature, dualistic

Every space is sacred

As I give, so I receive

If you want to move, stand still

Giving is a natural way to be

Every time I appreciate myself, light increases in the world

Giving is the foundation of spiritual life

The only purpose is to live in now. Now contains everything

When I give, I affirm my sense of fullness

When I feel grateful, I want to share my blessings

See the extraordinary in the ordinary

Fundamentalism is a way to avoid anxiety

The path of creativity is a path of not knowing

It is love when it flows. Giving and receiving is one. The heartbeat of the universe. Peak and trough of one wave

The fruit drops off and dies; the tree continues. So is death, fruit of a season. The ego is part of the body - that dies; being is the tree. Does the tree mourn the fruit?

The greatest gift is to love someone as they are

When I am busy trying to change you, you will of course defend yourself

People change when you no longer need them to

When I blame the other person I lose my power

Expecting anything at all is expecting too much

What is loved is beautiful

Your pain is my pain, for we are one. So too, joy.

As I love myself, I no longer need to be defended

When I take a risk, the universe responds

Tend your mind as a garden, plant affirmations

There is no better or worse, there is only different
