Iago is the dominant trance state of our planet. It influences our relationships, our sexuality, our parenting, and our attempts to relax. It permeates corporate business, international politics, and our economic system.

I don't think there is any end to translucence. It's an endless journey, rather like playing the violin.

The translucent life is very much about overflowing with a gift to the world, rather than being here to consume or to get something for yourself.

In a quantum universe, magic is not the exception but the rule.

There were statistically more women than men on the planet. Why should every major religion have been founded by men and propagated by men?

I think the main way that somebody would know they're translucent is that their life has become more about the embodiment of Spirit than about acquisition, and that may be something that creeps up on you.

It seems to me that all of us, in our own way, have our own personal lagos. We all have within us a voice that is whispering doubt, that is whispering suspicion, that's telling us there's something wrong, there's something missing, there's something that should be different. And we easily become hypnotized by that voice of doubt.

I enjoy spending time with other awakened people and feeling the shared vibration of that, whereas just fun for its own sake might no longer be quite so enticing as it used to be.

Awakening is usually precipitated by the honest, sincere, inquiry into who you really are.

Feminine spirituality is much more about the emanation of love in this moment, feeling into this moment, feeling the texture of this moment through the skin, through the body, and then letting your life become an emanation of love.

However much your life may have become an expression of creativity, of generosity of spirit, there's always the further possibility of more or just expressing it in different ways.

The most important thing about translucent people is that their life has been deeply transformed by an awakening.

However beautifully you play the violin, you can always play the violin even more beautifully again.

However much you may have expressed love through your life, you can always express love more.

The Iago trance is a state that we've really come to accept as normal, even if we may not feel it to be natural.

Most of the myths that we carry about spirituality are because we have been dominated by this hyper-masculine trance.

They see that who they are is the silence in which sound is happening, the spaciousness in which movement occurs. This kind of recognition, whether fleeting or abiding, is called an awakening.
