"If religion consists of outward forms of piety, and spirituality inward experience, then nondual spiritual practice transcends and includes them both. We are not here searching for new and novel ways to get high; those are easy to find. Nor are we trying to rationalize a system of dogma and code. Rather, the purpose of practice is to bring wisdom and love to every moment, be it profound or profane. Of necessity, its motion will be of ratzo v'shov, running and returning between expanded mind and contracted mind, God's point of view and our own. Indeed, the hallmark of this practice will be an inclusion of both perspectives as aspects of the Divine. It will not make every moment a happy one, but it can bring about a clarity, an acceptance, and an intimacy which, for me, has long been the penumbra of God."
