Beneath words lies the Sea of Feelings. Society demands that we mask them and we are social animals. But feelings are more important than words. And if you are a feeling person, you will always know that you are playing false.

We leave the social playing field one by one. We fall in love with solitude, for it never asks us to be anything but who we are.

One day we are in a social situation and we suddenly know that we are not being ourselves. That who we are is the ruby hidden in our inner bundle, as the Sufis say.

I heard Adam Lambert say that his super power is being himself. I love that, for it is true. Only God knows our true nature.

Some people are popular and their popularity keeps them glued to the social side of things. They are always “on.”

True light is always on without quotation marks. And when the time is right, you realize that the world goes on without you and that you are better off just hanging out in the silence.

I love silence. It is what buoys me up and allows me to fly. He travels fastest who travels alone.
