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.

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

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.

The dark and the light are braided and bound.

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

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.
