“ This means being able to constantly blend back into creating an experience of life as a whole with appreciation, cooperativeness and love for the people around you — even when they oppose you.
We haven't yet become effective at operating our minds and our emotions to create that subtle blend of both head and heart that lets us use our treasure chest of inner wisdom. ”

“ This wisdom is kept tightly locked up when our egos and minds run off the tapes that continually create the illusion of separateness.
Only by opening our minds and hearts will we find the rich, intuitive wisdom that always lies within every human being — even if it isn't used. ”

“ Individual and species survival means increasing our tolerance, our patience and our own understanding so that we do not continue to drive ourselves crazy when people or situations are not the way we want them to be.
We can no longer afford to create separateness and alienation if we want to get the most from our lives. ”

“ It takes a strong person to be able to lovingly but directly communicate what he or she wants to someone who disagrees — and acts hostile.
You will increase your skill in helping the world when you learn to be mentally flexible. ”
