Look for the shine in your eyes to remind yourself of the fire in your soul.
We can never fully understand the how, where, and when of anything, even something as simple as boiling water. We have to surrender to uncertainty, while appreciating its intricate beauty. All.
All creativity is based on quantum leaps and uncertainty.
Those who seek security chase it for a lifetime without ever finding it.
I praise all of god‘s creations. It can‘t be that one part is perfect and the other part diseased. We are pained by knowing that we have sinned. That pain was given to us to show where we have lost love. If we listen to our own pain, we will find a way through to love once more. Sin is repaid by bliss. – Julian of Norwich.
This is a cause for incredible excitement because, if the real you isn’t inside your head, you have been set free, like awareness itself. This freedom is limitless. You can create anything because you are in every atom of creation. Wherever your awareness wants to go, matter must follow. You do come first after all and the universe second.
Working on your deep psychological issues opens the possibility for psychological freedom, making you independent of your past and the scars you carry around with you. These are meaningful choices that go beyond the limited definition of stress management, yet it’s this kind of change that transforms someone’s life.
Your true Self, which is your spirit, your soul, is completely free of those things. It is immune to criticism, it is unfearful of any challenge, and it feels beneath no one. And yet, it is also humble and feels superior to no one, because it recognizes that everyone else is the same Self, the same spirit in different disguises.
At any given moment your energy field will come into contact with and affect everyone else’s energy field, and each of us responds in some way to that experience.

Vedic science, the ancient wisdom tradition of India, says that unless you can get in touch with that embryo of a god or goddess incubating inside you, unless you can let that embryo be fully born, then your life will always be mundane. But once that god or goddess expresses itself through you, then you will do grand and wondrous things.
Everything that exists somewhere in the world also exists in us.
The real business of life, however, is to find out who you really are.
All it takes is an eagerness to join the cosmic dance, and a willingness to seek the miracles of the soul.
Spiritual teachers tell us if you want to know the state of your personal consciousness, just look around and see what is happening to you. If you want to know the state of the collective consciousness, just look around at what is happening in the world. At any given point in time your personal reality is synchronistically, coincidentally orchestrated by your sense of self.
One person’s emotional set point can be very different from another person’s, which is why we notice people who seem naturally happy or naturally glum.
I am totally independent of the good or bad opinion of others.
Anyone can count the seeds in an apple; no one can count the apples in a seed.
The best lifestyle can be described in a single phrase: waking up. Or, in other words, to be aware of everything around you. To wake up means devoting yourself to going beyond the everyday routines that people live by, the secondhand beliefs and opinions we have all adopted, the expectations we cling to, and the agenda of the ego. Waking up is about higher consciousness, or, in other words, a deeper awareness. Waking up is not a faraway goal – it can be your daily reality, starting here and now.
