“For 30 years I have used my platform in provocative ways to encourage a healthy dialogue about important issues, including HIV/AIDS, war, and homelessness.

“You must realize first of all that you are the proof of everything, including yourself. None can prove your existence, because his existence must be confirmed by you first.

You are timeless being and awareness.” FirstsRememberRealizingExistenceKnowingAwarenessProveIncludingProofTimelessRemember YouRemembers You Author:Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
“The most basic act of awareness or knowing that we can demonstrate in science.

“Balance is a tricky thing. I love my work and that helps. And I work a lot. So I spend a fair amount of time trying to make sure I'm taking time off, exercising, meditating and things like that. I also have a powerful support team (including my partner, Kelley) to keep me grounded. I don't always feel like I have the balance I want, but I have awareness about it, which I think is key.” ThinkingWantFeelsTryingHelpingPowerfulSupportTeamAwarenessKeysAmountBalanceExerciseFairsIncludingPartnersTake TimeGroundedTrickyMeditatingThings I LoveTime Off Author:Steven C.

“Self-deceit—It’s in the “Nine Satanic Statements” but deserves to be repeated here. Another cardinal sin. We must not pay homage to any of the sacred cows presented to us, including the roles we are expected to play ourselves. The only time self-deceit should be entered into is when it’s fun, and with awareness. But then, it’s not self-deceit!” ShouldSelfPlayFunSinPayRolesAwarenessDeserveSacredIncludingExpectedNineStatementsDeceitCowsOnly TimeHomageCardinalsSatanicSacred Cows Author:Anton Szandor LaVey
