I think diversity of thinking and healing traditions from around the world are good for us. The movement itself has evolved enormously and it's been a thrill to be part of it.
Elizabeth Lesser -
If humanity does not evolve spiritually - each one of us and collectively - our species won't make it. So following that back to each individual - every day you are faced with choices.

I'm not naive. I know how hard it is to get along.
Elizabeth Lesser -
The world needs women to redefine what it means to be a person of power.
Elizabeth Lesser -
Spirituality is a brave search for the truth about existence, fearlessly peering into the mysterious nature of life.
Elizabeth Lesser -
We'll never change everyone's minds. We're not supposed to.
Elizabeth Lesser -
I think as women and men become more conscious, the terms "woman/man" begin to lose meaning.

I pray that each one of us stays awake as we fall. I pray that we choose to go into the abyss willingly and that our fall is cushioned by faith--faith that at the bottom we will be caught and taught and turned toward the light. I pray that we don't waste precious energy feeling ashamed of our mistakes, or embarrassed by our flaws. After years of teaching, I know only a few things for sure. One of them is this: We are chunks of dense matter that need to be cracked open. Our errors and failings are chinks in the heart's armor through which our true colors can shine.

Some people, who are deeply involved in an organized, traditional religion, find it very difficult to accept that their way isn't the only way. And that their sacred text isn't the only text and it must be taken literally.
Elizabeth Lesser -
First we love within, then we love the world.
Elizabeth Lesser -
Grief is good...it is a sign of how well we have loved.
Elizabeth Lesser -
The great loneliness- like the loneliness a caterpillar endures when she wraps herself in a silky shroud and begins the long transformation from chrysalis to butterfly. It seems we too must go through such a time, when life as we have known it is over- when being a caterpillar feels somehow false and yet we don’t know who we are supposed to become. All we know is that something bigger is calling us to change. And though we must make the journey alone, and even if suffering is our only companion, soon enough we will become a butterfly, soon enough we will taste the rapture of being alive.
Elizabeth Lesser -
Fear is a sneaky thief, stealing away precious moments of your life.
Elizabeth Lesser -
See what's happening to our sisters around the world. I'm very interested in the protection of women globally.
Elizabeth Lesser
-
First we forgive ourselves, then we forgive others and life itself.
Elizabeth Lesser -
There's something in our makeup and in our bodies that really wants to luxuriate more in just the joy of being alive and not always consuming, creating, building. There's something inside of us that wants desperately to stop and experience and just be - not just always do.
Elizabeth Lesser -
I'm interested in helping women become courageous in being exactly who they are. Because the only way to change anything is to do it from your genuine self.
Elizabeth Lesser -
I can only do what I do with a spirit of humor, and faith and give the controls over to something else.
Elizabeth Lesser -
If I pull from places of faith, joy and gratitude, then I have the wind of creativity behind me. And, my work in the world is much more effective.
Elizabeth Lesser -
Anyone whose lifestyle may frighten you or whose point of view makes smoke come out of your ears.
Elizabeth Lesser
-
It is such a teaching in itself for us, all of us, every moment when we're with anyone.
Elizabeth Lesser -
I actually don't think we're more divided than we were.
Elizabeth Lesser -
Grief is an expression that you loved well.
Elizabeth Lesser -
If you're interested in the door to the heavens opening, start with the door to your own secret self.
