I believe that the spirit of God enters into the details and if we ask for guidance we will be led to the places where we can learn most fully because we can be most joyful. If I'm in a place that's lonely, I think God has one or two things to say. Extend your hand in service so that you might meet people or go somewhere else - or both.
The ego mind both professes its desire for love and does everything possible to repel it, or if it gets here anyway, to sabotage it. That is why dealing with issues like control, anger, and neediness is the most important work in preparing ourselves for love.
Love is all around us all the time. Love is the ethers that we swim in. Love is the amniotic fluid of the soul.
You have to make a space in your heart, in your mind and in your life itself for authentic human connection.
A hero is someone who stands in the community and speaks their hopes and speaks their passion. That's almost an act of heroism nowadays because higher consciousness is so trivialized.
America is a great country, and we've done a lot of good in the world. But we are a collection of people, not saints. We have our own sins to atone for.

The teenager begins to realize he or she really does want to be part of a community, really does want to have good relationships with others, really does want to create something truly good with his or her life. The teenager comes to understand just being smart and just being privileged are not enough.
Higher thought forms trump lower ones. In the presence of a high frequency of human consciousness, all lower thought forms ultimately drop of their own dead weight.
I believe the human race is ready to make a quantum leap forward spiritually and morally.
I believe there is an evolutionary impulse toward good that is etched on every human heart. It is placed there by the hand of God.
