“Social media exploits and triggers the same psychological mechanisms that religions do—the more followers a person has, the more truth/knowledge we assume they possess. But the irony is that "truest" and most knowledgable of human beings have been, and remain, virtually unknown by the masses. Reality is a big "place", those who take the rarely trodden path, meet rare souls.”

“Pain never stops sounding the alarm; she never falls asleep on the job. At the moment we shut down our hearts, or begin entertaining harmful beliefs as ultimate truth, or interpret our experiences in a way that hinders our evolution, Pain starts poking us…just a little at first but if we ignore her, she'll start clanging cymbals in our ears until we acknowledge her presence.

Pain is a message, a signal, an alert. Pain is Truth's formless, eternal Sentinel. Pain is indeed the Great Teacher, and she works in concert with Truth to purify consciousness and allow transmutation.”

“Don't ever let anyone tell you that imagination is mere fantasy; it's nothing less than the foundation of reality. Imagination is a realm, not an activity. Envisioning is the activity and faculty unique to human beings that allows us to enter realities that have not yet manifested and imbue them with life.

It's through the act of envisioning and the willingness to enter the imaginative realm that we can inhabit the life of another and empathise. It's in imagination that all experience can be shared, matter rearranged, circumstances altered, minds changed, and hearts transformed.”

“The land we grow up on patterns us, we become a part of the energetic mosaic of the living experience that draws its life from the land and draws its breath from the trees.”
