If you're getting your guidance about who you are and what to do with your life only from the external world, then by definition you'll be led away from your authentic truth. Your authentic truth isn't in the material world. It's counterintuitive, but you have more power in the world when you know you're not of it.

We cannot get to our knowledge because the world is too loud. And we tend to make it louder as we cry out in pain, pretending we are singing.

You can learn a lesson the first time, when it's presented in a package that is joyous - or at least palatable. But if you don't learn the lesson the first time, then there will be a second time and a third time. And each time it will just get harder and harder.

Ego says, Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace. Spirit says, Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.

Fear is a psychic tyrant that has no intention of letting its slave go free. It will say whatever it needs to say to confuse your thinking... It will always seek to preserve itself.

I don't feel there is any spiritual or metaphysical justification for turning our backs on human suffering.

We need not wait for the world to become more mystical the world is mystical. Our problem is not that the world lacks magic our problem is that we don't believe in its magic. We do not show up fully for life, and then wonder why life is not showing up more fully for us.
