The level of violence on the planet today is no longer sustainable.
When you carry yesterday's thinking into today, you program tomorrow to be like yesterday.
We are likely to feel better when we go to bed tonight if we have an internal sense that we spent our lives meaningfully today.
No matter what mistakes we might have made yesterday, today is the day we can retrieve our innocence.
Today is a day for sober and mature reflection, not glee. Mindless celebration is both spiritually inappropriate and politically naive.
What is happening today is that there are millions of children who are not lifted up to the first rung of the ladder. Then they are condemned when they don't know how to climb from there.
The voices of fear are so loud today. The voices of love should never shout, but neither should they whisper - not at a time like this.
I don't think that anything that anyone is doing today that is being pointed at as the "enemy" or "the problem" is as dangerous to our future as the fact that there are so many pointed fingers. The pointed finger is the enemy.
I don't like the tendency on the part of so many people today to think that those who don't agree with them are bad. In fact, I find that very dangerous.
The meaningful question is never what we did yesterday, but what we have learned from it and are doing today.
Priests, ministers and rabbis are asking where the children are going. Slowly but surely, they're seeing that people are hungry for something beyond the doctrine. It isn't that they don't want religious truth. But they want the mystical core, the heart of the religious truth.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
People are starting to wake up to the fact that a media/political party-complex basically decide our candidate, then create the illusion for the rest of us that in fact we're the ones who did the deciding.
You get enough people agreeing in consciousness that Mexico is a dangerous place, and that dangerous thought will make it so.
