“ Sure there is much that is uncertain with regards to the future. There is no way to know how things will work out. The only thing that I can be sure of is myself, in my abilities, and in my awareness. So the only logical thing for me to do is to cultivate myself to my highest potential. “—— January 2015

“Many people think about the future a lot, but few people live for their future. “

“There are those who follow their nature and there are those who mold their nature”

“I have been taking risks I know. Should God and gods abandon me it would be a lesson. I do have faith in my own Buddha-nature. I could be abandoned by all gods and people and that would only give me the opportunity to let my own light and power shine through. Faith is like a candle flame in the wind; it must be protected in the heart.” — October 10, 2019
