    “Why is it that we have moments of awakening, of really seeing or sensing or recognzing oneness, but then pull back into separation, resistance, avoidance; or longing, or analyzing? What is it that pulls us back into identity, the identity of the separate drama of who we are?” Recorded 5/14/2012 in San Francisco.

    When you taste your true nature, you realize that it’s infinite. You can’t contain it; you can’t control it; you can’t hold on to it. Its very nature is letting go, opening, expanding — illuminating.” Recorded 4/16/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Freedom isn’t about not being human. It’s actually the opposite — it’s about being fully actualized as a human. Isn’t that really the purpose of life? To live fully each moment…” Recorded 3/12/2012 in San Francisco.

    “How do you let go into the disorientation of no personal self? I think as the realization becomes more fully integrated, more foreground, then it’s just obvious. I like how in Buddhism they refer to it as a refuge, because it really is a sanctuary. A sanctuary without walls; a sanctuary without beliefs. Your true home ground of Being.” Recorded 3/5/2012 in San Francisco.

    “You can’t personally surrender — letting go happens by itself. But if we deny or avoid the struggle, or resist it or try to manipulate it, we feed it. Surrendering means being awake in the struggle — in the center of it.” Recorded 2/27/2012 in San Francisco.

    “Notice what’s in the way, realizing nothing needs to be done, nothing needs to be fixed, figured out, gotten rid of; but just simply perceived, fully. When that occurs, awareness opens into itself.” Recorded 2/11/2012 in Santa Cruz.
