Life is a constant back-and-forth. We take a breath in and then we breathe out. The same is true for the culture as a whole.
We lack faith in *what* exists within us because we lack faith in *Who* exists within us.
The highest prize we can receive for creative work is the joy of being creative. Creative effort spent for any other reason than the joy of being in that light filled space, love, god, whatever we want to call it, is lacking in integrity. . .
The rage building up, generation after generation, among what has become a permanent underclass in many parts of the world cannot continue. We are desperately undereducating our children. In the United States, we are turning prison-building into the single largest urban industry. These are like toxic chemical factors any one of which could cause a raging fire.

We don't reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.
When a woman conceives her true self, a miracle occurs and life around her begins again.
Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.
We can invoke spiritual compensation when we find ourselves in situations of material lack.
