The resting place of the mind is the heart. The only thing the mind hears all day is clanging bells and noise and argument, and all it wants is quietude. The only place the mind will ever find peace is inside the silence of the heart. That's where you need to go.

To love your enemies means to banish from your mind your fears, hates, jealousies, angers and resentments, all of which are self-created, for these are your real enemies.

-Dr Joseph Murphy


Cayce in trance described the mind as a dynamic layered structure capable of engaging this larger reality (spiritual) but in lawful ways. He used imagery of fields of force to describe a person or "entity." We were not just static chunks of flesh mounted on feet, answering to drives, traumas, and conditionings. We were first of all souls: invisible, unique vortices of energy and consciousness, beckoned into life by the divine and shaped by chosen and remembered values and actions. Because of our essential identity as spirit, we were in principle able to relate to the divine and its larger awareness.

-Harmon Hartzell Bro, A Seer out of Season: The Life of Edgar Cayce


I am a human becoming, help me to become!

-Handbook for the New Paradigm Volume One


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-Marianne Williamson


In every community there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it.

-Marianne Williamson


When you get a hunch or intuition, don't just ignore it - acknowledge it. (Remember, you can still choose whether or not you wish to act on it; the first step is simply to recognize your intuition when it speaks to you.)

-Kathleen Vande Kieft, Innersource: Channeling Your Unlimited Self


A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

-George Bernard Shaw, Playwright


To be a spiritual seeker we have had to leave the physical world. “Enlightenment” has been the reason for reclaiming spirit by denying the body – transcending form by leaving it. Thus, individual beings have become “enlightened” in the sense that they have fully realized their spiritual nature, but they have not fully enlightened their form. When they have eventually left their bodies, the world remained largely untransformed.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light


I believe this is happening because we have reached a dead-end street with our “old world” relationships and externalized concepts of masculine and feminine. The old models and ways of doing things are too limiting for us now, and we have not yet evolved effective patterns to take their place.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light


I believe that every form of relationship from the most traditional marriage to open relationships or homosexual or bisexual relationships, represent each being’s attempt to find their feminine/masculine balance within.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light


What I’m actually saying is that we each need to let our intuition guide us, and then be willing to follow the guidance directly and fearlessly.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light


By tuning into the intuition and allowing it to become the guidling force in our lives we allow the conductor to take its rightful place as the leader of the orchestra.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light


Change happens not by trying to make yourself change, but by becoming conscious of what’s not working.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light


In order to create the new world, we are being challenged to move back into the world form with full spiritual awareness. We need to recognize the discrepancy between our spirit and our form and then allow the spirit to transform the physical body, the mind, and the personality into a powerful and beautiful channel through which it can fully express itself.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light


The spirit always tends toward expansiveness, depth, greater energy, and aliveness. The form (ego/personality) always tends toward what it perceives to be safety, security, and the status quo, which is usually a deadening experience.

If you are able to observe yourself without rationalization or judgment you will begin to notice that when you trust yourself and follow your energy fully, you feel better. Conversely, when you follow your old patterns of fear and holding back, you feel worse.

-Shakti Gawain, Living in the Light



Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.

-Carl Jung, Psychiatrist


Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.

Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.

-Oscar Wilde, Writer and Poet


A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve.

-John Maxwell, Author and Speaker


One day at a time - this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone: and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

-Ida Scott Taylor, Author


Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

-Steve Jobs, Co-Founder of Apple Computer


Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

-Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor and Philosopher


Every decision you make - every decision - is not a decision about what to do. It's a decision about Who You Are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. You begin to see life in a new way. All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.

-Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God


Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

-Harriet Tubman, Abolitionist


Love is a state of being not a state of feeling. It goes well beyond the realm of the emotions. It's an attitude of benevolence and kindness towards all creation, including one's self, at all times and under all circumstances. Love is the most powerful magnetic force in the universe.

-Carnelian Sage, Author


I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.

-Henry David Thoreau


People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.

-Joseph F. Newton, Author


Whenever you're facing any form of resistance, gratitude has the power to quickly dissolve it. This is true whether the hindrance comes from inside of you or outside of you.

Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

-Napoleon Hill, Author


Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

-Stephen R. Covey, Author and Speaker


We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.

-Marie Curie, Physicist


There is only one way in the world to be distinguished. Follow your instinct! Be yourself, and you'll be somebody. Be one more blind follower of the blind, and you will have the oblivion you desire.

-Bliss Carman, Poet


Living consciously involves being genuine; it involves listening and responding to others honestly and openly; it involves being in the moment.

-Sidney Poitier, actor


Perspective is an antidote to fear. Most things you fear will never happen, and even if they do, you can handle it.

-Michael Josephson, www.charactercounts.org


Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

-Melodie Beattie, Writer


Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you.

-Emmet Fox, Spiritual Leader


If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living.

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

-Dogen


You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.

-A Course in Miracles

You are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.

-Dr. Wayne Dyer


I found that when I was in my illumined, wise self, I was calm, peaceful and content. This self lived at the core of my being. Strong, powerful, and clear, it was directing my life. It was the inner fire that had inspired my quest for truth. Through many direct experiences with this Self, I was surprised to find that it had been unharmed by anything I had ever gone through.

-Aurora Ariel PhD, The Quest


By healing my patterns, I found I was also clearing my family lineage with its history of pain. Finally, I understood why the planet looks the way it does, why so often we fail to bring our enlightened self into the equation. The world keeps reflecting the inner wound of humanity, while the Authentic Self remains lost beneath this programming.

-Aurora Ariel PhD, The Quest


The children of God are holy and the miracle honors their holiness, which can be hidden but never lost.

-A Course in Miracles

-Kevin Ryerson, Spirit Communication


Each master is a mandala to be meditated upon to reveal some inner aspect of your own self.

-Kevin Ryerson, Spirit Communication


For the value of the vessel, if you wish to contain it, is in its emptiness, so it can be filled again. Clean the vessel, for that is your physical instrument. Pour it out, for that is your mind. Fill it to the brim with waters that nourish, for that is your spirit.

-Kevin Ryerson, Spirit Communication


Each of you is a portal. You are a window upon the Akasha, the all-knowing. Collectively you are the consciousness of this planet and you are portals through which light streams forth and illumines this plane. You are the eyes and the ears and the manifestation of God upon this plane. You are the perceivers. You are the teachers. For it is your interactions with one another that convince you that you exist.

But how foolish of you not to know this, so therefore you are also students.

-Kevin Ryerson, Spirit Communication


Those who study alchemy know that, ultimately, the work is not the transmutation of elements, but the transmutation of self, and that the ‘philosopher’s stone’ is the consciousness they achieve, since it is through consciousness that all things become transformed.

-Kevin Ryerson, Spirit Communication


Meditation is merely contemplation of your own higher nature.

Enlightenment, or ultimate realization, is total liberation, total freedom.
