Maturity is a consequence of making peace with the past – putting it to rest.

Peace is a condition of my internal space. We call this space Heart-Mind because it is these two things, together. Hence three. That condition has four qualities: calm, empty, expanding and including. Calm could also be still, and expanding could be opening. Empty can be emptying – the mind emptying, and including could also be filling or even full – a full heart – containing everything. When, and only when, I am at peace, then I am ready to make society – to take another into my space. Without such peace we can exist side by side but not together.

Earth has no escape from heaven – flee it up or flee it down, heaven invades it, energizes it, makes it sacred.

Meister Eckhart

Make peace. Make society.

Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent.

The teacher's job is to open the student up to energy. The student's job is to take this to heart.

Mastery is service: a life of service.
