As it is, the vital question you should be asking is not what I am, but what you yourself are.

Indeed, of the major religions, Islam offers no discernible sliver of valid notion for How Life Works.

You are the only real authority in your life, but you yield that status to so many externals by believing in them, by having been punished or forced into accepting them.

Because your life is a reflection of your inner Self, causality comes exclusively in changing your own nature, not trying to change the external world out there by manipulating it.

When, and only when, you clearly see the inner roots to an outer condition, can you change them and thus it.

There is no other force, no other determining factor, no external cause to the cohesive unfolding of your life’s episodes – only your composite inner nature. Change that and you change your life.

Vocal cords are not rental units. No Hebrew prophet, nor Mohammed, nor any founder of any cult or religion ever spoke the words of anybody but themselves.

At college age, you can tell who is best at taking tests and going to school, but you can't tell who the best people are. That worries the hell out of me.

Through small apertures we glimpse abysses whose sombre depths turn us faint. And yet over the whole there hovers an extraordinary tenderness.

When everyone is included, everyone wins.

Being responsible for another human life terrifies me, because I kill plants.

I find the songs that have the most human components in production are the ones that will stand the test of time.
