We can no longer speak of
outsiders. It once was possible for the
ancients to say, We are the chosen of God!
and to save all love and respect for themselves,
projecting their malice out there. That today
is suicide. We have now to learn somehow to quench our
hate and disdain through the operation of an actual love,
not a mere verbalization, but an actual experience of
compassionate love, and with that fructify,
simultaneously, both our neighbors life and our own. ---From his book "Thou art That"
"Responsibility does not
only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those
who have been appointed or elected to do a particular
job. It lies with each of us individually.
Peace, for example, starts within each one of us.
When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those
around us."----Exerpt from the speech the Dalai
Lama geve the day after recieving the Nobel Peace Prize
The world you live in is an
intelligent system in which every moving part is
coordinated by every other moving part. There's a
universal life force that supports and orchestrates
everything. It all works together in perfect harmony. You
are one of those moving parts. You showed up here in the
body you inhabit, precisely on time. Your body will leave
here with the same precision. You're an essential piece
of this complex system. ----From his book "Ten
Secrects for Sucess and Inner Peace"
I will be open to the
support that spirit is giving.
This affirmation
is about guidance. Make this today's promise to yourself,
to look inside for guidance. Everyone needs support, and
generally we look outside ourselves - to family, friends,
coworkers, and like-minded people-for validation. This
kind of support makes you feel that you are right. The
ego gets assurance that you are not alone. But spirit
wants to develop uniquely. It sends support to the inner
person. Instead of making you feel that you are right,
spiritual support adds to your sense of being free, at
peace, loving and aware. Be open to those feelings,
because openness is the first step to transformation. ---From
his book, ~The Deeper Wound~
A new spiritual awakening is
occurring in human culture, an awakening brought about by
a critical mass of individuals who experience their lives
as a spiritual unfolding, a journey in which we are led
forward by mysterious coincidences. ---Number One of the Celestine Insights from his
book the "Celestine Vision"
'The world exists the way it exists - just as a snowflake
exists the way it exists - quite by design. You have
created it that way - just as you have created your life
exactly as it is.' ---From "Conversations with
God"
The
seeker in us is always seeking more Truth, knowing that
the search goes on forever. The mystic in us, on the
other hand, is trying to practice what we've learned of
it: right here, in this moment, whatever we are doing.
The mystic is a spiritual practitioner, seeking not
merely to understand the principles of spiritual
awareness, but to embody them as best as her or she can.
We embrace the idea - advanced by both ancient
philosophers and modern physicists - that the world is
one. Everything connects to everything; therefore, as we
change, the world cannot but change with us. ---From
the introduction to her book "Everyday Grace"
.....The word enlightenment
conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment,
and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply
your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a
state of connectedness with something immeasurable and
indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is
essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is
finding your true nature beyond name and form. The
inability to feel this connectedness gives rise to the
illusion of separation, from yourself and from the world
around you. You then perceive yourself, consciously or
unconsciously, as an isolated fragment. Fear arises, and
conflict within and without becomes the norm. ..... ---From his book
"The Power of Now"
I radiate acceptance
I flow with love easily and effortlessly
Life is free and easy
Good health is my Divine right
I talk to you with love
I am creating lots of room for love ---Affirmation
from her book"Meditations to Heal Your Life"
"Just let go. Let go of
how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life
that is trying to work its way into your
consciousness."
The Seat of the Soul is for
scientists - for those who love to experiment with life,
and to decide for themselves what works and what does
not. It provides a vocabulary, not a dogma, to
express the forces that are moving this world of
ours. It illuminates deeper causes of physical
experience. It is soul satisfying. The
message of The Seat of the Soul is this: the purpose of
our journey on this precious Earth is now to align our
personalities with our souls. It is to create
harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for
Live. It is to grow spiritually. This is our
new evolutionary pathway. The old - pursuing the
ability to manipulate and control - no longer
works. It now produces only violence and
destruction. ---On his book "The Seat of the
Soul"
