“The known unseen within becomes structural in what is seen: a being functioning as a self, in person, in this world.”
“The heart is the arena for meaning in matter. What is there determines everything that follows. Through that, you have your only way in and meaning has its only way out.”
“When you’re not needing the familiar in the relating between the two of you, then the familiar ground of what has been the basis of your relationship is gone, and you’re left with a tiny little bit of new known ground that is beautifully unusual.”
“You being only yes to knowing changes everything. That makes knowing in you mean more than your whole existence. That sets you right side up.”
“Belonging is the connectivity and love is its movement. Knowing is its ground.”
“When you die, you will break from everything that has held you. What you are realizing and knowing, followed through to the finish, has you actualizing the reality of such a break before you die.”
“It takes everything of awareness to get past and beyond the gravity of what you are accustomed to. This doesn’t answer what you are used to. This doesn’t answer what you are looking for. This answers your bones.”
“Your Heart doesn’t belong to your self; your heart belongs to what you know. Brought into your self, that gives your self a heart of knowledge.”
“Real knowledge within doesn’t offer you familiarity; it offers you the truth.”
“My sole purpose is to be, in life, what we are after we’ve died. Through openness and softness of heart and core-splitting honesty at any personal cost, I live as that while actualizing the same in others I meet. I am available as a resource for anyone who recognizes and values this way of being.”
