On Radiant Essence: "It takes spirit and vitality to wake up and remember the radiant essence, the source that brings light to the whole universe. We must go beyond thinking, beyond the rational mind based on duality, to a state of Being. Born out of stillness, this is the state that fosters unconditional love. When we are filled with this love, there is happiness. When there is happiness, we are free." ~ Adapted from Wendy Palmer and Jack Kornfield in The Practice of Freedom
