I loved the book. The quotes you listed are really just Zen Buddhism ideas phrased for Westerners. The idea that we are all already awakened, we just don't know it.
Have you gotten to the part in the Oprah class where he talks a little about alcohol? He says that mindfulness will raise one's consciousness and as a result the desire to drink excessively will dissipate. It's the Buddhist idea that attention burns up mental fetters.
