“The only thing we really have to give to people is our love.”

“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.”

“Once we step out of the picture which we have made ourselves part of, if only temporarily, our life changes.”

“Some people are afraid of being alone – really alone. We need this experience in order to realize that we really are totally alone. How could that be, since we have all these characters. Look at all those characters we’re carrying around within us. An actual traveling circus.”

“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.”

“It’s when we limit our choices that we begin to hone in on what we really want to do. This gives us direction – but what if we choose to do something that doesn’t turn out the way we thought we were directed? Then we deal with that until the next choice. In a sense, every day we get to redefine ourselves. Of course, that definition gets to be redefined in its time. And that’s how we keep evolving.”

“Sometimes things seem out of our hands. They are, mostly. The great paradox is that this thing is totally out of our hands, or are we creating this as we go along? Then the issue is, “Who is the Creator.”
