“Sometimes just going within, getting quiet, and listening is where we learn the most about life, or about death. We don’t need to run out and do the bucket list of seeing and doing new things. We just need to sit, listen, and learn. This,”

“I no longer have a bucket list. I have love in my life. This is far greater than seeing the Pyramids, climbing mountains, eating Thai food in Thailand, or any other physical activity that might be fun to experience. I am loved and I have loved. My bucket list is complete.”

“To get to our passion and purpose we must be willing to shine the light of awareness on the shadow parts of ourselves. If we cannot admit it when we are angry, the anger will leak out in ways beyond our control and we will remain stuck in the anger. By acknowledging anger, we are able to make conscious choices about how and when we express that anger. Just as we have seen that we can transcend fear, we can transcend anger. All of our “negative” emotions are part of our humanity. If we can forgive ourselves for our humanity, we can forgive others for theirs.”

“It may be that love is an interpersonal, energetic experience. You might even consider that a couple co-creates a neural imaginal world together as a loving single entity. With the concept of epigenetics, it may be that their love alters the individual's genetic makeup, and thus this love can be passed on to their children psychologically, energetically and genetically, and to their children after that. You become immortal through the love you generate. The Beatles may have had it right in the end. The love we take may in fact be equal to the love we make.”

“Rollin has demonstrated that when two people are touching, the EKG measures of heart rhythm in one person, is detected in the EEG, which measures brain waves, of the other person, showing that one person's heart rhythm has the potential to affect the other person's brain wave pattern. He is, as of this writing, working on a project to demonstrate the same effect between a baby's heart rhythm and the mother's brain waves when they're touching.”

“What matters is that we're here for each other. True love which grows over time may not just be a psychological cognitive experience. There's something deeper in shared going on. There's a growing scientific literature on the physiological and energetic interactions between people. Rollin McCraty, HeartMaths director of research, has done work in this area. He first measured the electromagnetic field around individuals in different mood States and demonstrated that there are clear, reproducible patterns of electromagnetic energy that appear with different moods. If a person is angry or hostile, there's one clear pattern. If the same person is in a loving state, a very different pattern of electromagnetic energy is created. Is it possible that we can detect these changes radiating from another person and respond to this energy? He has every reason to believe that this is possible.”

“Am I the physical Being I see in the mirror each morning. Am I the soul living in this body that will move from body to body over many lifetimes? Is this life just an illusion? Defining this self by healthy bodily limits comes into question in a very simple experiment often performed in Psych 101 classes around the country. A person is asked to sit at a table with one hand above the table and one hand below it. On the table is a rubber hand place where the real person's hand would have been. The subject’s hand under the table is stroked with a feather while the rubber hand is being stroked. The subjects are confused about which hand is real. They feel the tickle of the feather in the rubber hand and sometimes try to pull it away. They perceive the rubber hand as the real hand. When the fingers of the rubber hand are bent backwards, these individuals fear pain and withdraw the real hand. The substitution in the subject's mind of the rubber hand for the real hand occurs because the brain creates an internal imaginary construct of what the body is and where its boundaries lie. To keep us from hurting ourselves, the brain needs to know where the body is at all times, and to do this relies especially on the senses of touch and vision. You need to know how far to extend your arm or withdraw in any task for emergency, but this construct created by the brain can be fooled by a rubber hand. Our definition of the self can get recreated rapidly by the brain. So that even the brain doesn't know who we are all the time.”

“The more I meditated and practiced yoga, the more I began to experience an apparent ability to predict events, read other people, and see what others saw. This was very strange. Was this real or imagined? Was I losing my grip on reality?”
