“To integrate one’s experiences around a coherent and enduring sense of self lies at the core of creating a user’s guide to life.”
“Enlightenment is not about cocooning one’s self, but about integrating more fully with both your self and life.”
“To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.”
“The best lie is wrapped around a core of truth.”
“Personal integrity comes from integrating our life experiences with our belief systems”
“Our identity is like that of an onion; with each experience we endure, a layer is peeled away, finally revealing who we really are at the core.”
