“You’ll be developing a complex, multi-leveled, compound self, a self that is able to function with your entire innermost in it, instead of your self having only a tiny little bit of your innermost in it.”
“You don’t need an effort of will for you to be honest to knowing. You need only you as awareness and you as knowing, at rest together, in agreement.”
“You need to love and you are not going to love unless you are responding directly to knowing. Love is the result of knowing. Love is the movement of you directly knowing. Love is the beingness of real knowledge. Love is the result of you being what you are, what you really are.”
“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.”
“This is much deeper within than your heart and it is with all of your heart that you enter it.”
“Whatever it is, within, that you are coming from, whether it is real or not real, true within or untrue within, you are destined to have more of that. You can change your destiny by changing what it is that you are coming from within.”
“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.”
