"Our greatest wealth is our awakened consciousness, realization of the unbounded truth

of our essential Self and, through it, our interconnection to all life."

-Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian

"The journey of awakening takes us from identification with the body-mind as a separate self to the reality of our oneness with the Infinite. We cross the river of delusion and discover the shore of eternity."

-Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian
