"Because she is in God's hands.' But if so, she was in God's hands all the time, and I have seen what they did to her here. Do they suddenly become gentler to us the moment we are out of the body and if so, why? If God's goodness is inconsistent with hurting us, then either God is not good or there is no God: for the only life we know He hurts us beyond our worst fears and beyond all we can imagine. If it is consistent with hurting us, then He may hurt us after death is unendurably as before it."

"Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone."

Patience

"People become concerned with being more humble than other people."

Humility

"Working rightly, the brain is the highest form of "instinctual wisdom." Thus it should work like the homing instinct of pigeons and the formation of the foetus in the womb - without verbalizing the process of knowing "how" it does it. The self-conscious brain, like the self-conscious heart, is a disorder, and manifests itself in the acute feeling of separation between "I" and my experience."

Consciousness

"No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now."

Love

"But to me nothing - the negative, the empty - is exceedingly powerful."

"This-the immediate everyday and present experience-is IT the entire and ultimate point for the existence of a universe."

Mindfulness

"For there is never anything but the present, and if one cannot live there, one cannot live anywhere."
