Part 4 Quote 7
“Our minds go, our bodies go. Our souls remain.”
Part 4 Quote 6
“The evolution of the soul is about decreasing separateness, shedding attachments that distract us from Oneness.”
Part 4 Quote 5
“The karmic sandpaper of existence, time and experience, grinds down separations, grinds down resistance to love, until we see through personalities to what is beneath, to the soul.”
Part 4 Quote 4
“The poet Rainer Maria Rilke describes a quality he calls ‘in-seeing,’ which is changing one’s point of view to inside another being…. That’s when your awareness merges into Awareness, then you are ‘inside’ everything, as well as outside, because there’s only one of it in the universe. This is the mystical root of awareness.”
Part 4 Quote 3
“The soul’s game is not about getting a new job, friends, lifestyle, making more money or getting a new car, finding a new partner or a new therapist. This life is about finding a way to be in the world that connects you to your soul.”
Part 4 Quote 2
“Truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing.”
Part 4 Quote 1
“Aging gives you a new curriculum. It gives you some creative space, because to the culture, you’re becoming irrelevant—and as soon as you become irrelevant, you’re free. You’re free to be eccentric, to express yourself in ways you wouldn’t before. Aging gives you a chance to rethink your identity.”
Part 5 Quote 9
“I’ve never been into being a guru. As a teacher, I always use my life experiences as a lesson plan—often as an example of what not to do. We’re on a journey together, and I’m as honest as I can be about my trip.”
Part 5 Quote 8
“The spiritual journey is less from birth to death than from separation to Oneness.”
Part 5 Quote 7
“Maharaj-ji said no man can die a moment before his time or live for a moment past it…. Souls are not afraid of dying, because souls have many, many incarnations. Each time we die, we find our home. Much of my life has been about trying to make contact with this home in my heart. I’ve seen it up close at times, through psychedelics, through meditation, through being with Maharaj-ji, but it has always been temporary. Now I will soon be home. A new beginning awaits around the corner.”
