“You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.”

“The wave is the same as the ocean, though it is not the whole ocean. So each wave of creation is a part of the eternal Ocean of Spirit. The Ocean can exist without the waves, but the waves cannot exist without the Ocean.”

“We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”

“...either the gods are there whether you believe or not, or exist only as a function of the belief, so either way you might as well ignore the whole business...”

“...who we are and what we do it is fundamentally a function of what we remember.”

“What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”
