Love knows how to form itself. God will do his work if we do ours. Our job is to prepare ourselves for love. When we do, love finds us every time.
Whenever we feel lost, or insane, or afraid, all we have to do is ask for His help. The help might not come in the form we expected, or even thought we desired, but it will come, and we will recognize it by how we feel. In spite of everything, we will feel at peace.
Real liberation for men means that they can explore and integrate their feminine aspects of consciousness.
We are all part of a vast sea of love. One indivisible mind.
Faith doesn't mean you don't have to do the work; it just means you're absolutely certain the work will pay off.

Midlife is not the time to disenchant ourselves. It's a time to turn on all our magic in full force.
Once you've had enough and you can't do it anymore, you consider the possibility that there might be a better way. That's when your head cracks open and God comes in.
Some of the most patriarchal thinkers I know are women. Some of the most feminist thinkers are men.
I've never seen service as separate from my spiritual practice or my spiritual teaching.
Whomever it is you were born to be, whatever your soul was coded to accomplish, whatever lessons you were born to learn, now is the time to get serious and get going.
You are free to experience life negatively or positively, and the choice you make determines whether you are at cause, or at effect, of the life you are living.
