“A different level of thinking, a different kind of mind, a full spectrum mind including everything of the subtle mind. It’s the kind of mind that makes way, not for your accustomed self, but for a higher and deeper self, a self that moves by knowledge.”
“Take everything that you experience in your self lightly, regardless of the strength of the experience. Instead of relating to what you experience in your self, direct all of your relating to openness and softness of heart.”
“If an ant knew to cross the city, it wouldn’t stop.”
“For you to have real love, you need to be able to move past your self.”
“The well-being of your heart comes from your knowing of what you really are within. Your sense of well-being doesn’t come from your person; it comes from within.”
“Meeting from within what is deeper is meeting that is unadorned. It isn’t embellished with experiences that you are used to in your self. In this sort of meeting subtlety is everything. When profound delicateness meets profound delicateness within, almost nothing happening, everything that matters most is happening: the exquisiteness of meeting.”
“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.”
