If you're interested in the door to the heavens opening, start with the door to your own secret self.
Elizabeth Lesser
I have built up so much stuff , I am afraid I would cry forever, or have to go to sleep for weeks, or I would want to make some changes, and it is all just so overwhelming that we just keep going and going and going. It's a problem. It creates all kinds of illnesses of the physical and mental kind.

Сertainly there are people for whom anti-depression medication has allowed them to use difficulty to wake up, and I don't deny that at all, but as usual with us human beings, we've overdone it. We are self-medicating ourselves away from the great awakening moments, and losing our coping skills and losing wake-up calls.

Some people, who are deeply involved in an organized, traditional religion, find it very difficult to accept that their way isn't the only way. And that their sacred text isn't the only text and it must be taken literally.

Read any of the top-selling business books, all of them talk about moving away from a top down manner of leading to a more inclusive one. It's not happening over night, but if you read the winds of change in most of the democracies in the world we are moving toward shared levels of power.
Elizabeth Lesser
Life is about change, it never stops, it's moving and it's moving this human body inexorably towards its demise.
Elizabeth Lesser
Don't persuade, defend or interrupt. Be curious, be conversational, be real. And listen.
Elizabeth Lesser
But when I learned about the dangers of rejection or attack, I thought, it's time to change this. What if we faced any pain we had caused each other and, instead of rejection or attack, could we listen? Could we forgive? Could we merge?
Elizabeth Lesser
There is no one alive who has not wanted to go back to sleep.
Elizabeth Lesser
I was just a kid when I started doing this,yoga, meditation, natural foods, acupuncture - things like were seen as practically voodoo. And today you can go into any hospital and they'll have massage, and Chinese medicine, and therapy, and a prayer room.
Elizabeth Lesser
Learn respect for the feeling function: Become aware of and undo some of your (improper) cultural training so that you grant the moods and messages of the heart the same respect that you give the thoughts and ideas of the mind.
Elizabeth Lesser
Whatever is happening, whatever is changing, whatever is going or not going according to my plans - I release my hold on all of it. I leave behind who I think I am, who I want to be, what I want the world to be. I come home to the great peace of the present moment.
Elizabeth Lesser
I'm very committed to my family and my town. My biggest local commitment are my children, my husband, my home and my grandchildren.
Elizabeth Lesser
My years as a mystic have made me question almost all my assumptions. They've made me a proud I-don't-know-it-all.
Elizabeth Lesser
We are able to choose what we want - you don't have to accept one thing from one tradition. It's a melting pot.
Elizabeth Lesser
I think the main problem people have getting older, whether they know it or not, is that you're closer to dying. And we may fixate on not wanting to look a certain way, but it really is just the clock ticking, that it means, Oh, I am not immortal!.
Elizabeth Lesser
