Quotes from this Download Set:

“The most beautiful things within us are rooted in the dark and muck of our humanity.”

“You can’t find the totality of what you are in any thought or definition; you fall into the truth of your being when you see what you are not.”

“How you feel on retreat is not an indication of how productive it is.”

“Each time you see through the separate self, even a little, some dissatisfaction disappears.”

“The open heart gains you access to the radiance.”

“We need a way of engaging with ourselves and leaving the teacher behind.”

“Seeking is a denial of the freedom that is already here.”

“All experiences are the One.”

“The tree is not only connected to the sun and sky, it is the sun and sky. The same for human beings.”

Recorded at the Woudschoten Conference Center in Zeist, The Netherlands on
