Former heart patients who volunteer to help current patients live longer. That's not inspiration. That's data. States with high volunteer rates have lower mortality and heart disease rates. Purpose isn't just good for the soul—it's good for the heart. —Pure Unlimited Love

An ocean of stillness and peace exists within you. When you connect with it, bitterness dissolves. Rumination fades. Hostility recedes. True inner peace comes from trusting the unlimited love that's always been there, waiting for you to remember. —Pure Unlimited Love

Eastern spirituality sees the One Mind as the source of all things. Our minds are part of it—nonlocal, beyond time and place. Hindu texts call this “the Supreme.” I first took this seriously through Robert Bly, and later, a young Steve Jobs—devoted to Autobiography of a Yogi.
