“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.”
