“No one wants to live out a narrow life, have his or her life story read as a stale cliché. The test for a self-fulfilled person is to establish their objectives, stay true to personal goals and values, while operating in a society that might embrace them, hate them, or might be utterly neutral, unacquainted, and indifferent to their existence.”

“Our human self is just a wrapper, a shell to hold us in, so that we can settle our debts and learn some things that we could not learn otherwise. We shall cast aside that shell as soon as the lesson is learned. In truth, we are the essence of the divine experiencing itself. We cannot be contained, we are expansive, formless and radiant. Our human self is no more than a transient vehicle, fit for purpose. Our true self is no less than empty, joyful, eternal love.”
