The Law of Volitionality: "Most of us like to see ourselves as unconscious victims....but in fact, we all know exactly what we are doing.”
Face Everything and Avoid Nothing: "....only if you're paying close attention are you going to be able to bring the light of awareness into the darkest corners of your own psyche.”
The Truth of Impersonality: It's not about you. "....every aspect of the human experience is a completely impersonal affair.....the illusion of uniqueness, the narcissistic self-sense that is ego, is created....through the compulsive and mechanical personalization of almost every thought, feeling, and experience we have.”
For the Sake of the Whole: “The pursuit of enlightenment is for the transformation of the whole world, the enlightenment of the whole universe. It's ultimately for the evolution of consciousness itself.”
