“But you know the difference between sex and love. And sex can be part of love, but what moves your heart, what's really intimate, that's the real spirit.

“However, we need to participate and manage skillfully, helpfully, and harmoniously, for a better world, family and society to be possible.

“Everybody has similar values. You travel around the world and everybody is different, but everybody is also the same in those ways. There's so much difference but there's so much similarity. Nobody wants to be harmed, or have their children, or their mates, or their relatives, or their families harmed, exploited, bombed, starved, dislocated, or become homeless refugees. So we're all similar in that way and spiritual life and religion is supposed to be part of the solution not part of the problem.”
