If you want to do really important things in life and big things in life, you can't do anything by yourself. And your best teams are your friends and your siblings.

Nature goes to the same place to create a galaxy of stars: a cluster of nebulas, a rain forest, a human body, or a thought. That place is Spirit.

Inspiration is that state in which mind and heart are connected. When you feel inspired you find yourself thrust into a world where ordinary objects and events are full of light, as if illuminated from within. This inner light is truth, and when you suddenly see the truth, we gain insight, clarity, and joy.

Karma, when properly understood, is just the mechanics through which consciousness manifests.

People think meditation is a huge undertaking. Don't think of it like that.

There is no separation between mind and body... Self and other co-arise and fall away all the time.

Being more aware creates responsibility. What does responsibility mean? It means the ability to respond. The more conscious you are in your ability to respond, the more creative you'll be.

As long as you think of your real self as the person you are, then of course you're going to be fearful of death. But what is a person? A person is a pattern of behavior, of a larger awareness. You know, the two-year-old dies before the three-year-old shows up, the three-year-old dies before the teenager shows up.

A child in India grows up with the idea that you have to make choices that will create a better future. In fact, your whole life is a continuum of choices, so the more conscious you are, the greater your life will be.

Karma, memory, and desire are just the software of the soul. It's conditioning that the soul undergoes in order to create experience. And it's a cycle. In most people, the cycle is a conditioned response. They do the same things over and over again.

When I looked at the addictive qualities of video games and how they captivate people's attention, I decided to try the same technology for enhancing well-being.

It takes a little bit of mindfulness and a little bit of attention to others to be a good listener, which helps cultivate emotional nurturing and engagement.

In a person's career, well, if you're process-oriented and not totally outcome-oriented, then you're more likely to be success. I often say 'pursue excellence, ignore success.' Success is a by-product of excellence.

New Age values are conscious evolution, a non-sectarian society, a non-military culture, global sharing, healing the environment, sustainable economies, self-determination, social justice, economic empowerment of the poor, love, compassion in action, going beyond religious fundamentalism, going beyond nationalism-extreme nationalism, culture.

Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

When you perceive yourself as spirit, you will not simply feel love - you will BE love.

When love and spirit are brought together, their power can accomplish anything. Then love, power, and spirit are one.

Words can wound or heal. The purpose of speech must always be to create joy in the listener.

The universe has a body and soul and evolves through cosmic time. As microcosms of stardust, we do the same.

EVERYTHING that happens in the universe starts with an INTENTION

Replace fear-based thinking with love-based thinking.
