Quotes:

1. "The spiritual journey is about deepening your emotional spectrum. You feel things on the other side much better. You feel more joy, you feel more excitement." - Steven Webb
2. "So we deepen our emotion. We build a spectrum of more joy, more pain, but we don't stay there very often. So we also build resilience. And the resilience is, we know things will change, so we're okay with it because we know we've already got it." - Steven Webb
