The following inspiring quotes are excerpted from ONE, a book by Masami Sato .

On judgment…

"…judgment often has very little relation to reality."

"Actions and words don't always accurately reflect who we are. Every single one of us has had the experience of wanting to undo what we did or said."


On connection…

"Every single thing we do is to satisfy the need for connection."

"…we cannot feel unhappy when we are feeling totally connected. It's impossible!"

"Connection is the core of everything. That's what life is. Connection."

"We are designed to constantly seek ways to connect to each other and to a greater purpose."

"We can only truly celebrate the victory with others when we win together. Then we feel connected."

"This is the game called ONE. The aim of the game is to 'connect'! We keep connecting until we all become ONE."

"…'solutions' coming from fear and doubt may not be the most effective ways. We end up feeling more and more disconnected from each other."


On the mystery of life…

"There are so many things we don't understand in life. In spite of that lack of understanding though, we often enjoy experiencing those things."

"It's very, very clear that we don't need to know all of the 'hows' and 'whys' of life to keep living on this planet."

"The scientists are not here to reveal the 'truth' because we are here to seek it forever. They are actually here to complicate the game (of life) so that we can have more questions and enjoy the game longer."

"Seeing is important but trying to figure out everything isn't necessary."
