"You see, somewhere deep within the universe is a cosmic heart that pours knowledge to those with questions. And to communicate with it, you simply have to tap into your own heart. Yet there is a catch. You cannot be sleeping. You have to be wide awake. And your heart cannot be heavy. It must be as light as a feather. And your questions cannot carry any shades of darkness; they must be as childlike as a curious and receptive student of Truth. And the answers, can be interpreted in many different ways -- depending on how much truth you have in you."

Then they tend to be pretty much like everybody else. We often given a bogus version of the Gospel, some fast - food religion, without any deep transformation of the self; and the result has been the spiritual disaster of 'Christian' countries that tend to be as consumer - oriented, proud, warlike, racist, class conscious, and addictive as everybody else - and often more so, I'm afraid."

"People who know how to creatively break the rules also know why the rules were there in the first place."

"Knowing without loving is frankly dangerous for the soul and for society. You'll critique most everything you encounter and even have the hubris to call this mode of reflexive cynicism 'thinking' (whereas it's really your ego's narcissistic reaction to the moment). You'll position things to quickly as inferior or superior, 'with me' or 'against me, ' and most of the time you'll be wrong."
