When you wake up to the Divine Consciousness within you and your divine identity, you wake up simultaneously to the Divine Consciousness appearing as all other beings. And this is not poetry and this is not a feeling, this is a direct experience of the divine light living in and as all other beings. And until this realization is firm in you, you do not know who or where you are.

Adoration is not some fervent spiritual or poetic exercise reserved for a chosen few.

We are so addicted, either to materialism or to transcending material reality, that we donâ€™t see God right in front of us, in the beggar, the starving child, the brokenhearted woman; in our friend; in the cat; in the flea. We miss it, and in missing it, we allow the world to be destroyed.

If you want a television, you go out and work for it and you buy it. If you want to learn about Aztec pottery, you take a course.

Nobody will do it for you; nobody can do it for you.
