For at the center of all spiritual traditions is the beacon of a truly radical proposal: Open your heart to everybody. Everybody.

A Healing Dream can never be completely interpreted, or fully understood. Healing Dreams want us to stop making sense not just to crack the case, but to enter the mystery.

The dark and the light are braided and bound.

By and large, the Healing Dream is not the defender of our waking goals-material achievement, perfect romance, a modest niche in history-but an advocate-general for the soul, whose aims may be diametrically different... The nourishment of the dreamworld is a reciprocal affair: as we provide for it, it provides for us.

Loosen the bonds of discursive thought. Extend the circle of caring. Cease armoring against suffering. Wish for others the same happiness you wish for yourself. Be a tender-minded steward of creation.

Unresolved emotional pain is the great contagion of our time — of all time.
