“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.”

“At some point we have to be able to say, “I have no idea what is going on.” Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder if that’s the whole trip, so that we can actually know what’s going on. Hmmmmmmmm.”

“Sometimes it’s better to not know about something. We don’t always have to fill our head with a lot of stuff we don’t need to know – for now anyway.”

“Each one of us is made up of many different people. Who we want to be at any one time is up to us, no one else. We don’t always have to play the same part.”

“We have to be rid of all paradigms, I mean all, and go to that place where all paradigms dissolve. That’s what this certainly is all about; especially the scary paradigms. Do you really think that we are all going to Hell, or even Heaven? This is not about punishment and reward. We already have the reward. It’s the grace of this journey into the heart of the Creator and being a part of that creation.”

“You have to surrender everything because you don’t know how it’s going to turn out. That’s what makes it all so mysterious.”

“No one knows who anyone else really is. We’re just getting the outside version. It’s all about love, anyway.”
