“Everybody, everybody, no matter what their position in life, has to give it up. Eventually, we have to let it all go - all we have accumulated - money, titles, family. In the end, it all has to go. In the meantime, don't be so attached to the parts you play and focus mainly on your sanity in playing those parts.”
“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.”
“The thing is we can't be attached to anything we've experienced up to this point in our life - any person, any situation, any outcomes, any happiness, any pain - any of it.”
“In a sense we have to keep sweeping out the trash. It all has to go. Your whole history – it has to go. The whole trip has to go so that you can go on.”
“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.”
“It’s hard to trust our own decisions, but we have no options. We have to do that in order to be all right with ourselves.”
