“Comforting others can be tricky. It can get real sticky, if we think we are the comforter. There really is only one comforter.”

“Limit your day to what you feel comfortable with doing – put the rest on the shelf – for further consideration down the line.”

“It’s hard to believe that the truth lies within us. What about the churches, temples, mosques, bibles and scriptures? They offer comfort. If they cause you discomfort, toss them.”

“So how do we do this trip, knowing it’s all an illusion? How do we do that? We can’t do that. We can only hang on for the ride.”

“There really is only one fear. It’s just broken down into many little fears. The one fear is that we can’t handle our fears. That’s why we have them, to go through them.”

“In a sense, all life is a prank. We are not who we appear to be and no one else is as they appear to be. So how can we handle that little mystery? This whole business about God – what’s that all about? No one knows anything about that either. So we have people who are not as they appear to be, telling us about something that they have no idea about. We really are on our own here to try and figure it out. That’s the real adventure of it. Some people are anxious to tell you what they know and have experienced. I’d rather hear from some people who admit to what they don’t know and haven’t experienced. They’re much more interesting.”

“Sometimes it seems that the world is a very, very, large, insane asylum. We need only not get caught in others’ madness and stick to our own.”
