“The idea is to be detached from the fruits of our labors, which means that we do things simply for the act of doing them.”

“We don't know where we get our ideas from. What we do know is that we do not get them from our laptops.”

“Things we were going to do are now being done by others. They were, it seems, not in our minds to do (were we or they out of our minds?) but simply ready to enter any open mind, any mind disturbed enough not to have an idea in it.”

“When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do. ”

“We are today engaged in a war. It is an economic war over oursovereignty as human beings with inalienable rights to life, liberty, andthe pursuit of happiness. The “pursuit of happiness” means the rightto create wealth through our labor and to enjoy the fruits thereof.The battle now is over who has the moral, the ethical, and the legalright to the fruits of our labor. Are we to be free, or are we to beslaves? Just whose money is it anyway?”

“We do not pray for immortality, but only not to see our acts and all things stripped suddenly of all their meaning; for then it is the utter emptiness of everything reveals itself.”
