Sample Book Insights:
#1 I began lecturing on A Course in Miracles in 1983. I was thirty-one years old. I was living in Los Angeles, and as anyone who was around at the time can testify, there began to be talk about a new, mysterious, and very scary disease that was spreading.
#2 I remember the pain, but I also remember the love. The people who were dying, and the people who were there to help them die peacefully, were surrounded by a community of love.
#3 I’ve seen how love can change one person, but I’ve also seen how love can change groups of people. As someone who experienced the time of the Vietnam War with the accompanying violence of the 1960s, and then the AIDs epidemic, I know what it feels like when groups of people experience a collective trauma.
#4 The American political system has been failing its citizens for years, and the election of Donald Trump proved that the American people were fed up with it. We need a more deeply human politics that includes love.

#1

I began lecturing on A Course in Miracles in 1983. I was thirty-one years old. I was living in Los Angeles, and as anyone who was around at the time can testify, there began to be talk about a new, mysterious, and very scary disease that was spreading.

#2

I remember the pain, but I also remember the love. The people who were dying, and the people who were there to help them die peacefully, were surrounded by a community of love.

#3

I’ve seen how love can change one person, but I’ve also seen how love can change groups of people. As someone who experienced the time of the Vietnam War with the accompanying violence of the 1960s, and then the AIDs epidemic, I know what it feels like when groups of people experience a collective trauma.

#4

The American political system has been failing its citizens for years, and the election of Donald Trump proved that the American people were fed up with it. We need a more deeply human politics that includes love.

#5

The only way to overcome fear is with love, and the only way to overcome corruption is with love. We must harness love for political purposes.

#6

The same psychological, emotional, and spiritual dynamics that exist in the life of one person exist in the life of a group, because a nation is simply a collection of people. We must address our political problems on a level of cause if we want to solve them deeply.

#7

We must take full responsibility for how we got here, atone for our mistakes, and realign our politics with the imperatives of love and humanitarian concern rather than the imperatives of short-term profit and power.

#8

We need to take an evolutionary leap forward in how we think about ourselves and how we relate to each other; in what we think about America and how it relates to the rest of the world.

#9

America’s democratic values are the rock on which we stand. We must rediscover them and fall in love with them again, or they lose their moral force.

#10

Americans are not inherently a complacent people.
