"...It really IS easier to experience spiritual connection when your life is in the process of coming apart."
"Jesus Christ knew he was God. So wake up and find out eventually who you really are.

"Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals;My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels:Its wings are almost free - its home, its harbour found,Measuring the gulph, it stoops and dares the final bound,'Oh I dreadful is the check - intense the agony - When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see;When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again;The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain."
"Risk all. Let life be a play, a risk, a gamble. And when you can risk all you will attain to a sharpness in your being: your soul will be born. The Golden Flower can bloom in you only if you are courageous, daring. It blooms only in courage."
"We must go out into a desert of some kind (your backyard will do) and come into a personal experience of the awesome love of God."

Magnificent language!"
