Just because you are seeing divine light, experiencing waves of bliss, or conversing with Gods and Goddesses is no reason to not know your zip code.

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion--and where it isn't, that's where my work lies.

Turn your melodrama into a mellow drama.

Caring is a reflex...You live, you help.

I like walking in the pool. That isn't what makes me feel spiritual. But alive.

I experience each moment like baklava: rich in this layer, and this layer, and this layer.

The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.

If you think you're free, there's no escape possible.

I am embarrassed to admit what drew me to psychology. I didn't want to go to medical school. I was getting good grades in psychology and I was charismatic and people in the psychology department liked me. It was as low a level as that.

There is a larger frame to the painting than the one that bounds our life's events.

The World is perfect as it is, including my desire to change it.

A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there's work to be done.

The thinking mind is what is busy. You have to stay in your heart. You have to be in your heart. Be in your heart. The rest is up here in your head where you are doing, doing, doing.

We're receiving information from all the planes of our consciousness all the time, but we don't acknowledge their existence; we treat the information as static, as noise.

If you think you are enlightened; go home for Thanksgiving.

Don't take yourself so personally.

When someone we love dies, we get so busy mourning what died that we ignore what didn't.

The ego is a tool. You don't separate it. It's a tool for the spirit.

Suffering lets us see where our attachments are - and that helps us get free.

Finally you come to a point where you almost know it all. You are very wise. You are very pure... except for the fact that you may well have gotten caught in the last trap... the desire to know it all and still be you, "the knower." This is an impossibility. For all of the finite knowledge does not add up to the infinite. In order to take the final step, the knower must go. That is, you can only BE it all, but you can't know it all. The goal is non-dualistic - as long as there is a "knower" and "known" you are in dualism.

Gratitude opens your heart, and opening your heart is a wonderful and easy way for God to slip in.

My belief is that I wasn't born into Judaism by accident, and so I needed to find ways to honor that.

The Ego ages... the Soul evolves... and to the Awareness, nothing happened!
