• The path of love is made up of seekers who are in it for God’s own heart

• How we have to love God’s own people (those around us)

• The connection between knowing God and knowing ourselves

• The false idea of something for nothing in new age spirituality

• God when you’re deep in the valley as well as when you’re on the mountain top

• The question, “Tell me what I need to do to be transformed?”

• How Ritual, Transformation, Sacrifice, and Community are needed in a religion/spirituality

• How only God has the right to say “I”

• The cycles of our spiritual life

• Seeing God wherever we don’t see ourselves

• A valuable spiritual path teaches you how to navigate your own suffering
