“When you experience discomfort in your nervous system and at the same time you move into a restedness in your heart, you’ll be going against your own nervous system. You’ll be restedness in the midst of an inflamed nervous system.”
“When your beingness opens, your heart opens. You’re able to open your heart and to let your heart soften in the midst of any experience and any circumstance. Your beingness is your real power.”
“When the deeper opens up and you begin to perceive, not through your self, but through the seeing that is in your own being, you’re seeing what furnishes meaning. You’re seeing the underlying production of meaning, how meaning actually moves, how it connects, how it gives nurture.”
“As the sentiments of loyalty to family pass away, what replaces the old form of family is a functional, clear goodness team where everything is for what is more than each other.”
“When you know what you belong to, everything that is in your power, everything that is yours, belongs to what you know you belong to. The cost or the benefit isn’t relevant. When it comes to knowing, the opportunity for what you are as awareness is always and absolutely greater than the cost.”
“If you’re not taking to heart the tiny little bit within, then don’t follow your heart. Take to heart the tiny little bit within and you must follow your heart.”
“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.”
