“When we allow the walls around our hearts to become rigid, and stay that way, we assign ourselves a slow death. Like the very air and water that flows through our physical body to sustain it, love must flow through our heart to keep it supple, and to keep us truly alive.”
“Our souls are made of water, Goethe says. So too, our bodies. There is a flow within us, rising and falling, unidirectional, to the heart. there is a flow without also. We circulate. We are drawn up, and we fall back down to earth again. It's all haemodynamics.”

It is through sharing our fragments of insight that we will come to a fuller picture of the One who is at the heart of each life.”
“Our heart is actually already open, but it is our judgments about others and ourselves that keep it closed. When we stop judging others and ourselves, our heart begins to open. The way to healing is to learn to love and accept ourselves unconditionally. It means to embrace both our positive and negative sides with love. It means to love everything that we find inside ourselves. Healing happens when we bring everything that we find inside ourselves out into the light.”

“There is no such thing as death for we are the imagination of ourselves manifested into physical form. When the vehicle of flesh is no more we simply return to our spirit body and the oneness of the universe. It's just that while we are in mortal state of being we must take heed of our surroundings and make the best of it all for ourselves and for the multitudes around us...”
