“Agreement and disagreement have to do with words and concepts and theories. They don’t have anything to do with truth. Truth is never expressed in words. Truth is sighted suddenly, as a result of a certain attitude…an attitude of openness, of willingness to discover something new. I cannot describe the truth. No one can. All I can do is give you a description of your falsehoods so you can drop them.”

“Learning is all about where spirituality is concerned: unlearning, unlearning almost everything you’ve been taught. A willingness to unlearn, to listen.” →
