Each person you meetis an aspect of yourself,clamoring for love.

The closer you come to knowing that you alone create the world of your experience, the more vital it becomes for you to discover just who is doing the creating.

We are at our most powerful the moment we no longer need to be powerful.

True wealth comes less from having riches than from knowing how to live richly.

Our children are only as brilliant as we allow them to be.

In the same way that Americans now look back with horrified disbelief on the evils of slavery and the 'separate but equal' era of racial segregation, many years from now our children and grandchildren will reflect on this time in history and wonder how and why we ever chose to criminalize marijuana usage and homosexual marriage while poisoning our natural world in the name of economics.

We free our own mindseach time we pause to wonderwhether we are free.

To experience what isn't, love what is.

Quem pausa para admirar a beleza se torna tambem belo.(One who pauses to admire beauty becomes, himself, beautiful.)

The fact of your heart's enfoldment in mine is evidence enough that there is, underneath it all, some hidden order to this world.

Change happens for youthe moment you want somethingmore than you fear it.

I always have my reasons, even when I don't know what they are.

Imagination makes the worldand all the wonders in it.The seed of every dream unfurlsas you with love begin it!

Belief is made up of the same non-substance of which we ourselves are composed. The test of any belief system, then, is the degree to which this same light is permitted to shine through.

Though we may choose to view them symbolically, dreams are actually no more or less symbolic than everyday waking reality. When the images and events don't conform to our view of reality, we call them symbols. When they do, we call them facts.

You invoke a new futurewhen you envision your pastin the light of your present.

Everything changes as you move through three stages of awareness:first, that beliefs are the result of conditions;second, that beliefs are the cause of conditions;and third, that beliefs are themselves conditions.

In the search for truth,what you believe matters lessthan how you believe.

Either nobody's perfect,or everyone is.

The question isn't whether the world is perfect.The real question to consider is: If it were, would you still be in it?

Feeling bad is not the problem.The problem is that we feel bad about feeling bad.Once you begin to let go of feeling bad about feeling bad,and start feeling better about feeling bad,then pretty soon you'll just feel better.And then you'll feel awesome.

Judge not, lest ye miss out on all the fun.

You know you possess the soul of an artist when, each time you sit down to create, the whole universe lays itself at your feet.

Synchronicity is the soul's reminder of authorship.

As a rule,I believe people shouldn't follow rules;rules should follow people.

The belief that myths are somehow less true than the symbolic dream we call 'reality' may be the greatest myth of all.

The stories you believe to be true are the ones your life will become.

The way to embody love completely is to see and appreciate life just as it is, and not as you believe, fear, or desire it to be.

True wisdom is being able to say 'it is what it is' with a smile of celebratory wonder on your face.

A healer's power stems not from any special ability, but from maintaining the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power that every human being naturally possesses.

When you can no longer tell the difference between being yourself and being love, you are not far from waking up.

Search not for happiness outside yourself, for nothing could be further from the truth.

Although we may wish for more or strive to do better than we have, in these times it is enough to keep your soul.

No matter how strange things get, know that with every breath, you are becoming that which you have always been.

The awareness that seeks to know is the very object of its own seeking.

Our task and challenge as human beings is to appreciate, in the same instant, both the infinite significance and absolute insignificance of life.

Love is the highest form of meditation.

A peaceful mind appreciates the present moment as the living embodiment of naked perfection, rather than a means to future attainment.

What matters in relationship isn't how you see each other, but whether you see each other.

All hatred is self-hatred, just as all healing is self-healing.

We can only forgive the world to the extent that we forgive ourselves for being in it.

Our instrumental part in the symphony of life is to allow love to create a space within our own awareness, through which the undreamed mystery may emerge as a knowable reality.

With or without our knowledge, we are all alchemists.

All work done with love is healing work.

He who fights is powerless, but he who loves is power itself.

The fearful seek to serve themselves by mastering the world, while the fearless seek to serve the world by mastering themselves.

The sacred stillness of your brilliant hearthas as the myriad wonders masqueraded.But if you knew this secret from the start,then you'd have quit this Game before you played it.

You are here on earth to unearth who on earth you are.

The moment you open yourself completely to the love that awaits your conscious embrace, you are no longer there to receive it.

Perfection itself is not the ultimate goalbut the ultimate condition of life.

Every 'no' is a 'yes' to something.

What you hate, you re-create; and what you bless, you put to rest.

Miracles can only inhabit the reality of our awareness when we surrender our need for the familiar to our desire for the limitless.

The blessing of resistance lies in its power to illuminate those aspects of ourselves which have eluded our appreciation.

The purpose of suffering is to contain the light of your desire until you see yourself in everything.

Acceptance is the vessel of realization.

Resistance is the subtlest form of attachment.

Suffering occurs when love's two hands pull your soul in two directions.

Transform your desire into love, and limits start to lose their usefulness.

In our need to be somebody, we often forget that we are somebody.

The only thing we need to heal is the belief that we are not already whole.

As you begin to look deeply into the mystery of your own evolution, in place of good and evil you will find only stories, finished or unfinished.

Love is the perception of perfection beyond the protection of our projection.

If you want to see, then begin to see how you see.

Sooner or later on this journey, every traveller faces the same question: Are you a human intending to be a god, or a god pretending to be human?

To the ego, love is poison.

To see through the illusion of duality, remember that fear and darkness have no substance in themselves, for they do not indicate the presence of a second universal force, but are only names given to the one Light unperceived.

The purpose of life is to reach a point where you can say 'yes' to all of it.

The degree of freedom we enjoy outwardly is a reflection of the degree of love we cultivate inwardly.

Wisdom may teach you that all places are one, but love shows you how to get there.

The shortest interval between two points is the awareness that they are not two.

We do not see things as they are, nor do we even see them as we are, but only as we believe our story to have been.

At each moment, our seemingly objective world emerges from the dancing of consciousness with a single untruth: that there is something out there which is not us.

无惧无急 (The fearless do not hurry.)

The less human you feel, the more human you become.

The evolution of the universe is both mirrored by and incumbent upon your own.

Every parent is an artist, but not every artist is apparent.

From a universal perspective, what you do matters less than how you feel about what you do.

I knew I loved youwhen 'home' went from being a placeto being a person.

There is no greater treasure in this world than somebody who loves you as you are.

Sometimes it takes a miracle to remind us that the only permanent condition is that of impermanence.

Time itself is only as real as your own mental discrimination between the revelation and concealment of the one Light.

All stories are born out of illusion, but that doesn't mean they're not worth telling.

I never realized it was all a game,until I started winning.

I searched for my Beloved in the strangest of places, until the day I realized I couldn't take my eyes off Her.
