SHOW NOTES

“Everything in thinking and believing that is not a match to our heart, our true nature, is going to feel like stress. And we see people as an enemy. There's no one in my life that is an enemy. What I'm thinking and believing about that person: that would cause me to see them as an enemy. That's a separation that, in my life, I can't afford. I live, and I invite the world to live, connected to everyone and everything. It's the end of the war. And it only takes one person.”

“We are conscious organs, conscious parts in a bigger system of life. Our task is to serve that system, not to exploit it.”

“A still state of mind has nothing to lose.  I can't find a moment when I have not just been in a state of pure gratitude. I live in the moment and it feels beautiful. I don't hear images of the past and the future. I just notice the difference between now and the not now. You'd never have nothing to lose there and nothing to gain. It's a state of mind.”

“If you didn't compare your body with anyone else's, aren't you beautiful. Comparison has to do with the not now. Beautiful is a term we mean to your own understanding of that word. For me, it,is what it is. That's beauty. And without comparison I'm perfect and it's so beautiful. So are you.”

“I love the life I'm given right here. Right now for all I know. This is all there is. I don't want to miss what life I've got and it's a beautiful life maybe being the reason I want people to understand how simple it is to find peace. Keep the practice you've got, but bring inquiry into it”
