"The reasons for suffering are as personal and varied as one's voice or thoughts. Humankind needs to understand that suffering is just (and indeed, people accept it) because of higher reasons. No one is a victim," explains Kuan Yin.

"When one brings spirit into the human realm, it can even spiritualize matter. Matter can then become lighter, indeed liberated, not so dense, as before."
"The best you can do," stresses Kuan Yin, "is to live a life governed by integrity. Live your life with authenticity. Do the best you can and be honest with yourself and others. There is a collective agreement that this (life you are living on earth) is reality. Therefore, you have to play along...Do not believe that your humanity prevents you from being spiritual. Know that this (earth) drama doesn't mean spirituality doesn't exist on the earth plane. Try to be forgiving and objective when enduring your own earthly drama. Indeed, one's approach to one's own life drama can actually affect the outcome. That is, certain interactive strategies can render an "ordinary" drama, spiritual. Don't fall into the trap of ego and money. Don't be too concerned whether the drama you're experiencing is a result of karma. Rather, emphasize the concept that we are all one, that no one is better than the other. You are all sacred energies and everyone is as sacred as the next."
"What a radical concept! Everyone having loving kindness! With practice, a reality is created somewhere having that very consciousness of loving kindness. Such practice also draws one to those (loving kindness) planes of consciousness."
"Do not drag the negative past or future into the present. Understanding the possibilities of the present. It's a skill useful for discovering the divine," comments Kuan Yin.
"Kuan Yin is showing me something-a tube, I think. I don't fully understand this diagram. It is as if one end is the past, the other the future. The middle of the tube, the present, is our way, our vehicle for changing reality. You slip into the universe, while living in this dream, this present. Your escape hatch is right here."
"It's a good time to ask ourselves to look at the lies we are telling ourselves. It's a time to examine our thoughts and the thoughts of the people of the world. Let us all reflect upon the "great mix" of free will and karma. Reread the past chapters and ponder what I have said. Karma is intricate, detailed. One cannot dwell on only one particle of this great collective energy. Your life is but one frame of an entire reel of film."
"What I am placing my hand upon is a dense conglomeration of stuck energy made up of certain ideas. Naturally, not all ideas are included in this energy. It needs certain elements, things sprinkled into it gradually. Having compassion for the "untruth". That is what's missing. I'm sending compassion into this rock. One needs to slowly add elements of insight to reach truth."
"At the same time you're equal to everyone else, you need to know you're also special, unique. Everyone has his or her own uniqueness while also being equal to the next person."
"I'm seeing how one's mind can distract, can come between one another. Here and now [visiting with Kuan Yin], there is no space between our complete focused attentions. The energy is unbroken, continuous. It's like meditation."
"Even the earth is reflective of the different kinds of evolution," intervenes Kuan Yin. "There is the hellish aspect, deserts and other unlivable places. There are places on the earth where people get hurt. However, there are also places of incredible peace and beauty. All of these evolutionary potentials are being played out at the same time, somewhere on the earth. You can come to that place of peace."
