'Inner Space is a mirror. You could call it a spiritual mirror... The only thing that is real in this existence is this mirror, provided by what the great intelligence in everybody.' 'Are you reflecting when you think about your mother? Of course you are. It’s a reflection. Your mother’s not here? Is she?' 'What you are concerned with in your day-to-day life is the stuff in inner space, isn’t it? Mother, father, depression, doubt, fear, all that stuff, that stuff in inner space, that’s what you’re focusing on.' 'Is it possible to get rid of all the clutter out of it and to enjoy the pure space in there. Is it possible that that’s why you’re here – but so few people ever get it.' ~ About the series: This ten day meeting took place at Bond University on the Gold Coast of Australia from 3-12 March 2001.
