Whatever
happens, I will not let my cheerfulness be disturbed.
Being unhappy won’t get me anywhere and will dissipate all my goodness.
Why be unhappy about something if you can change it?
And if you can’t, how will being unhappy help?
Shantideva, ancient Indian prince, spiritual master

You
are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny. The Upanishads If you can conceive it, and believe it, then you can achieve it. Napolean Hill, American inspirational writer |
The
way you feel is your point of attraction, and so,
the Law of Attraction is most understood when you see yourself as a
magnet,
getting more and more of the way you feel.
The collective of entities called Abraham,
channeled by American psychic medium Esther Hicks
Clothes do make the man.
Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Mark Twain, American writer
The
five steps for fulfilling your desires:
(1) Slip into the gap. This means to center yourself in that silent space between
thoughts...
(2) There, release your intentions and desires... Releasing your intentions
and desires
in the gap means planting them in the fertile ground of pure potentiality,
and expecting them to bloom when the season is right.
(3) Remain in the state of self-referral. This means remain established in
the awareness
of your true Self - your spirit, your connection to the field of pure potentiality.
It also means not to look at yourself through the eyes of the world,
or allow yourself to be influenced by the opinions and criticisms of others.
(4) Relinquish your attachment to the outcome. This means giving up your rigid
attachment
to a specific result and living in the wisdom of uncertainty.
It means enjoying every moment in the journey of your life,
even if you don't know the outcome.
(5) Let the universe handle the details. Your intentions and desires, when
released
in the gap, have infinite organizing power. Trust that infinite organizing
power
of intention to orchestrate all the details for you.
Remember that your true nature is one of pure spirit. Carry the consciousness
of your spirit wherever you go, gently release your desires,
and the universe will handle the details for you.
Deepak Chopra, Indian / American physician, writer,
mind-body medicine pioneer
Uncertainty is the fertile ground of pure creativity and freedom.
Uncertainty means stepping into the unknown in every moment of our existence.
The unknown is the field of all possibilities, ever fresh, ever new,
always open to the creation of new manifestations. Without uncertainty and
the unknown,
life is just the stale repetition of outworn memories. You become the victim
of the past,
and your tormentor today is your self left over from yesterday.
Relinquish your attachment to the known, step into the unknown, and you will
step into the field
of all possibilities. In your willingness to step into the unknown,
you will have the wisdom of uncertainty factored in.
This means that in every moment of your life, you will have excitement, adventure,
mystery.
You will experience the fun of life - the magic, the celebration, the exhilaration,
and the exultation of your own spirit.
Deepak Chopra, Indian / American physician,
writer, mind-body medicine pioneer
I met in the street a very poor young man
who was in love.
His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows,
the water passed through his shoes
and the stars through his soul.
Victor Hugo, French writer
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane
by those who could not hear the music.

who loves us...not the person we are,
but the angel we might be.

I seem to have loved you
in numberless forms, numberless times,
in life after life, in age after age forever.
Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet & philosopher
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart,"
but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love,
for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart
and a song of praise upon your lips.
Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese poet & philosopher
The truth will set you free.
But first, it will piss you off.
Gloria Steinem, Ms.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.
Albert Einstein,
German / American quantum physics pioneer
And in the end, the love you take
is equal to the love you make.
John Lennon & Paul
McCartney, English songwriters
You were born together,
and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each other's shadow.
Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese
philosopher, from his book, The Prophet
Passion begins where your bodies unite
and ends where your souls dance.
When your spirits can join together at the same time as your bodies become
one,
then all of you will be making love.
There will be nothing left between you that is not love.
This is sacred communion. This is ecstasy.
Barbara De Angelis,
American psychologist & author

When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping.
Men invade another country.
Elaine Boosler, American comedian
Enlightenment means literally aligning to the Energy of my Source.
And genius is only about focusing.
Law of Attraction takes care of everything else.
Physical humans often want to make enlightenment
about finding some process and moving through
the process that has been pre-described.
But true enlightenment is moving to the rhythm
of the internal inspiration that is coming
in response to the individual desire.
Enlightenment is about allowing my connection
to the Source that is me
for the fulfillment of the things that I have
individually defined here in my time/space reality.
That's as good as it gets!
The collective of entities called Abraham,
channeled by American psychic medium Esther Hicks
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence, nor imagination,
nor both together, go to the making of genius.
Love, love, love,
that is the soul of genius.

and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'
The Talmud, Jewish Holy Book

a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting
that a new world is born.
Anais Nin, French / American writer
Perhaps love is
the process of my leading you
gently back to yourself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery, French writer
Passion acts like a magnet
that attracts us to its source.
We are drawn to people
who radiate with passion,
who live with passion,
who breathe with passion.
Your passion is your true power.
The more you discover and express
your passion for life,
the more irresistible you will become to others.
Barbara De Angelis, American psychologist & author

And, you may make use of it
the moment you learn to control your thoughts.
Napolean Hill, American inspirational writer
We are but one thread within the web of life.
Whatever we do to the web,
we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect.

and you'll understand what little chance you have

Jacob M. Braude, American writer
Fear of something is at the root of hate for others,
and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.
Dr. George Washington Carver, American scientist & writer
The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
One cannot help but be in awe
when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life,
of the marvelous structure of reality.
It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend
a little of this mystery every day.
Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein, German / American pioneer of Quantum
Physics

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. French paleontologist,
philosopher, priest
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us "universe",
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from
the rest...
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle
of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein, German / American pioneer of quantum
physics

In the beginning, there was passion.
Your life, your very existence here on earth,
has its source in passion. For at least one moment,
passion pulled a man and a woman so powerfully together
that they joined their bodies, and from that passionate union,
your seed was born. And when that seed grew,
and you were ready to enter the world,
you did it with all the passion you could muster,
your loud cries informing everyone in no uncertain terms
that you had arrived!

Grass doesn't try to grow, it just grows. Fish don't try to swim, they just
swim.
Flowers don't try to bloom, they bloom. Birds don't try to fly. This is their
intrinsic nature.
The earth doesn't try to spin on its own axis;
it is the nature of the earth to spin with dizzying speed and to hurtle through
space.
It is the nature of babies to be in bliss. It is the nature of the sun to shine.
It is the nature of the stars to glitter and sparkle.
And, it is human nature to make our dreams manifest into physical form,
easily and effortlessly.
Deepak Chopra, Indian / American physician,
writer, mind-body medicine pioneer
