“Folks, it’s time to evolve. That’s why we’re troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything’s failing? It’s because, um – they’re no longer relevant. We’re supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?”

“Searching outside of you is Samsara (the world). Searching within you leads to Nirvana.”

“The more you believed in yourself, the more you could trust yourself. The more you trust yourself, the less you compare yourself to others.”

“Until you have suffered much in your heart, you cannot learn humility.”

“God is whispering in your heart, in the whole existence, just tune your ears.”

“You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”

“Try to find pleasure in the speed that you’re not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you’re the one who must decide how you handle it.”

“Help” is a prayer that is always answered. It doesn’t matter how you pray–with your head bowed in silence, or crying out in grief, or dancing. Churches are good for prayer, but so are garages and cars and mountains and showers and dance floors. Years ago I wrote an essay that began, “Some people think that God is in the details, but I have come to believe that God is in the bathroom.”

“Most people are slow to champion love because they fear the transformation it brings into their lives. And make no mistake about it: love does take over and transform the schemes and operations of our egos in a very mighty way.”

“Your greatest awakening comes, when you are aware about your infinite nature.”

“Soul connections are not often found and are worth every bit of fight left in you to keep.”

“Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.”

“The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.”

“The reality of loving God is loving him like he’s a Superhero who actually saved you from stuff rather than a Santa Claus who merely gave you some stuff.”

“Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.”
