The Lord is my shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
“Before you’ve practiced, the theory is useless. After you’ve practiced, the theory is obvious.”

A Mantra for All the World
“Om Mani Padme Hum” repeat 108 times 5 times a day for 49 days
Om Mani Padme Hum is said for the dead and dying and often repeated by the Shaman or Yogi’s of India from day 1 after death of a person.
Om Mani Padme Hum….is…..well, a sloka / mantra from ancient Hinduism. It invites or invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. Viewing the written form of the mantra is said to have the same effect — it is often carved into stones - even in English version - like the one at the top of this description. Rocks or other places for etchings, writing, and carvings create powerful vibes when the words are written. It’s nice to place rocks where people can see the scrawling text where it lies giving the vibe om back to the cosmos and also receiving the incantation on behalf of the earth. Earth, Spirit, Non Dual Cosmos interlinked realms and passions of string theory at play.

A lot of people in spiritual life use the awareness of difference, and the spiritual glorification of difference, as a justification to indulge in that which is ultimately unreal.

Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain, anxiety, fear and self-doubt. For many of us, the confusion around this question is excruciating.

Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change.

Hopefully, America will really get a sense of how justice can be served in this country. And hopefully, they’ll forget the Simpson trial.
Andrew Cohen
I am already inherently full and complete as I am. Man doesn’t need woman and woman doesn’t need man in order to experience his or her inherent fullness.
Andrew Cohen
I’m not convinced that what are traditionally considered to be male energies or qualities or female energies or qualities really have as much to do with gender as many people think they do.
Andrew Cohen
I’m suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias.
Andrew Cohen
In my experience, men are not necessarily less sensitive or compassionate than women are, and women are not necessarily any less aggressive or competitive than men are - as a matter of fact, often they are more so!
Andrew Cohen
It is not enough to be well-intentioned; one must strive to put those intentions into action in a capable way. One must consider the effect his actions will have on others. Looked at like this, to persist in ignorance is itself dishonorable.
Andrew Cohen
It is true that women tend to be more identified with their bodies because in this crazy world, both men and women measure women’s value as human beings in relationship to their physical appearance.
Andrew Cohen
Men are recognizing that they have been forced to conform to a very narrow and rather two-dimensional picture of maleness and manhood that they have never had the freedom to question.
Andrew Cohen
Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity.
Andrew Cohen
One of the most extraordinary things about being a spiritual teacher is the rare privilege of being able to look deeply into the very souls of many human beings at the same time.
