"There is no need to search; achievement leads to nowhere. It makes no difference at all, so just be happy now! Love is the only reality of the world, because it is all One, you see. And the only laws are paradox, humor and change. There is no problem, never was, and never will be. Release your struggle, let go of your mind, throw away your concerns, and relax into the world. No need to resist life, just do your best. Open your eyes and see that you are far more than you imagine. You are the world, you are the universe; you are yourself and everyone else, too! It's all the marvelous Play of God. Wake up, regain your humor. Don't worry, just be happy. You are already free!"

"Everything you'll ever need to know is within you; the secrets of the universe are imprinted on the cells of your body."

"“The world's a puzzle; no need to make sense out of it. - Socrates”"

"“...he asked, Where are you today, right now?Eagerly, I started talking about myself. However, I noticed that I was still being sidetracked from getting answers to my questions. Still, I told him about my distant and recent past and about my inexplicable depressions. He listened patiently and intently, as if he had all the time in the world, until I finished several hours later. Very well, he said. But you still have not answered my question about where you are. Yes I did, remember? I told you how I got to where I am today: by hard work. Where are you?What do you mean, where am I?Where Are you? he repeated softly. I'm here. Where is here?In this office, in this gas station! I was getting impatient with this game. Where is this gas station?In Berkeley?Where is Berkeley?In California?Where is California?In the United States?On a landmass, one of the continents in the Western Hemisphere. Socrates, I... Where are the continents?I sighed. On the earth. Are we done yet?Where is the earth?In the solar system, third planet from the sun. The sun is a small star in the Milky Way galaxy, all right?Where is the Milky Way?Oh, brother, I sighed impatiently, rolling my eyes. In the universe. I sat back and crossed my arms with finality. And where, Socrates smiled, is the universe?The universe is well, there are theories about how it's shaped... That's not what I asked. Where is it?I don't know - how can I answer that?That is the point. You cannot answer it, and you never will. There is no knowing about it. You are ignorant of where the universe is, and thus, where you are. In fact, you have no knowledge of where anything is or of What anything is or how is came to be. Life is a mystery. My ignorance is based on this understanding. Your understanding is based on ignorance. This is why I am a humorous fool, and you are a serious jackass.”"

"Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving."

"I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up."

"Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark."

"Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear."

"I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything."

"Faith is our direct link to universal wisdom reminding us that we know more than we have heard or read or studied that we have only to look listen and trust the love and wisdom of the Universal Spirit working through us all."

"While you fear missing a meal you aren't fully aware of the meals you do eat."

"He was a thinker, but also a man of action."

"Responsibility is a grace you give yourself not an obligation"

"Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is... The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds."
