Quote

It's funny, I see Wendy Kaminer herself as a kind of guru - a guru of the fashionably cynical set. Yet she uses the term guru to minimize my career, to marginalize my thoughts and to trivialize my work, as well as those of others.

When a woman gives birth, two are born: a baby from the womb of its mother and a woman from the womb of her former existence.

If you went to live in the Himalayas and everyone was lovely there, I'm sure it would be fairly easy to be a spiritual master.

To the extent to which we believe in this world, we are heir to the laws which rule this place.

Image
There is simply too much unnecessary suffering in our world. And we should see that as a national security risk, by the way. Given enough time, desperate people will tend to do desperate things. At a certain point you won't be able to build enough prisons or enough bombs to eradicate the effects of all that violence inside so many hearts.

Love will not just heal your life or mine. Love will heal the world.

Embryos turn into babies buds turn into blossoms acorns turn into oak trees. The same programming that exists in them exists in each of us - to manifest our highest potential. What is the difference between those things and us? That we can say no...So today, say yes.

I think there is a place where self-awareness becomes self-preoccupation if you don't take what you have discovered and bring it to bear on the conditions of the world.

Our challenge is to not look away, but rather to transform the field to create a new political conversation, our own conversation, out of which we can speak our truth in our own way.

Our hearts are being stretched to span the violence and the suffering in our lives and world, and at the same time we are also witness to so much magnificence and brilliance. We are a species that has produced nuclear weapons, and also one that has developed profound insight into the nature of life itself.

Obviously, I don't want to minimize the patriarchal nature of our media, our government and our culture as a whole. But I think it's our refusal as women to own our power that is our biggest problem, both individually and collectively. The linchpin that holds the current system in place is the slumber of women.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.

Each of us is born with an internal navigational system. The thinking of the world has a way of switching the system off, but we can always turn it on again through prayer, meditation and forgiveness. Doing this puts us back on track in our lives, making us wise, convicted and powerful.

Relationships are part of a vast plan for our enlightenment, the Holy Spirit's blueprint by which each individual soul is led to greater awareness and expanded love. Relationships are the Holy Spirit's laboratories in which he brings together people who have the maximal opportunity for mutual growth.

I take very seriously this notion that my highest job is to live a better life, all the time and to the best of my ability. I need to monitor my own progress - take my own inventory - and clean my own closet. I am trying to do all that.

I feel that the social revolution of the sixties is like a revolving door that came our way, and then left. It's back again.

Your future isn't programmed by your past it's programmed by your thoughts.

In his farewell address, George Washington warned the people about political parties. Now we see how both Democrats and Republicans have conspired to reduce democratic participation. If this is the best the Democrats and Republicans have to offer, it's time to look elsewhere.Politics should be the prism for our most noble intentions.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.
