By meditating, I received from the source the knowledge of joy, unity, divinity, infinite love, understanding, compassion, abundance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace. I came to understand that love is not finite—it is infinite—and the universe's supply of love is never-ending. The possibility that we can all find peace within ourselves in a lifetime is within our reach.
A brief moment of enlightenment came to me in a flash of intuition:
"As I come toppling down off the pedestal on which he has placed me, he is horrified to learn that enlightenment does not provide perfection. Instead, it simply offers the pedestrian possibility of living with the acceptance of imperfection."
— If You Meet the Buddha on the Road
Love is the only thing that saved my life. I see the loving divinity in everyone. I’m creating a world that works for everyone—leaving no one left out. For whatever that is worth, all of you are invited to join me.
