Ram Dass

As one individual changes, the system changes

Let's trade in all our judging for appreciating. Let's lay down our righteousness and just be together.

My life is a creative act--like a painting, or a concerto

In mystical traditions, it is one's own readiness that makes experiences exoteric or esoteric.
The secret isn't that you're not being told.
The secret is that you're not able to hear.

I see my life as an unfolding set of opportunities to awaken.

If you want to be surrounded by Souls, become identified with your Soul.
It takes one to know one!

All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion.

Suffering is the sandpaper of our incarnation. It does its work of shaping us.

Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.

It's all real and it's all illusory:
that's Awareness!
