Jesus, the living master, is real, alive, intimately and vibrantly enfolding you right now. He is more present, in fact, than even your breath and your heartbeat.

Jesus is present in physical density only insofar as is necessary to match density of doubt that is blocking the view

A fast is really training – exactly like athletic training- so that our whole embodied being can be tuned up to support a spiritual aim we wish to achieve

All the sufferers on earth uniting their sufferings so that the world's pain became a great and unique act of consciousness.

For Jesus oneness is not a matter of a static return to a source. It’s not a state that one obtains, but it’s a dance of continual giving-is-receiving

He is the integral ground, the ambient wholeness within which our contingent human lives are always rooted and from which we are always receiving the help we need to keep moving ahead on the difficult walk we have to walk here.

Just as Jesus followed the path from fully enfleshed human being to lightly enfleshed human being, to "pneumatic corporeity"– pure spiritual energy but unmistakably himself.
