1 " Acceptance is an important part of serenity. It is not enough, however, simply to accept the things we cannot change. For me, serenity comes from not having any investment in the outcome. If I am genuinely serene, then it will not matter to me whether things change or stay the same. Either way, I choose to be happy. "
― Victor Shamas , The Chanters Guide: Sacred Chanting as a Shamanic Practice
2 " Through our chanting we merge our personal consciousness momentarily with the infinite consciousness that is our origin and our destiny. It is the drop of water finding its way back into the ocean from which it came. "
3 " The term compassion means shared suffering. You develop compassion by knowing what it is like to suffer. "
4 " I have spent much of my adult life trying to figure out how to experience holiness, and now I know that the struggle to figure things out is antithetical to the experience. You simply relax into holiness the way you would a warm bath. "
5 " Nothing in the universe is impermeable to the flow of love. "
