Man keeps looking for a truth that fits his reality. Given our reality, the truth doesn't fit.
To take a stand for the future is to bring forth an opportunity not borne of the path we've taken in the past, but borne of a vision which we would create for ourselves.
Ride the horse in the direction that it's going.
We distinguish integrity as a phenomenon of the objective state or condition of an object, system, person, group, or organizational entity, and define integrity as: a state or condition of being whole, complete, unbroken, unimpaired, sound, perfect condition.
The only two things in our lives are aliveness and patterns that block our aliveness.
Life is already together, and what you have to experience is experiencing it being together. The striving to put it together is a denial of the truth that it is actually already together and further striving keeps you from getting it together.
Health is a function of participation.
What gives people superiority at a task is true intention. That makes you attuned to everything.
What I recognized is that you can't put it together. It's already together, and what you have to do is experience it being together.
Living is not the story of your life. Living is the process of experiencing right now.
Most of our notions about the world come from a set of assumptions which we take for granted, and which, for the most part, we don't examine or question. We bring these assumptions to the table with us as a given. They are so much a part of who we are that it is difficult for us to separate ourselves from them enough to be able to talk about them. We do not think these assumptions, we think from them.
Until you know that who you are is empty and meaningless, you don't know anything.
If you keep saying it the way it really is, eventually your word is law in the universe.
In life, understanding is the booby prize.
