The great statements of Jesus Christ were never spoken from the personal, but always from the impersonal. No truth ever sprung from the personal mind because it is only the impersonal that can touch the universal, and it is only in the universal that absolute truth can be found. When the mind enters the impersonal state, consciousness comes in touch with the cosmic state of being, and in that state we realize the “I am” way of being. We discern what the “I am” actually is, and we find that the consciousness of the “I am” is the open door to the limitless vastness of the spiritual universe. “I am the door.” Enter through the door of “I am” and we pass into that immense world that is found on the upper side, or the divine side of sublime existence.

Christian Larson, 1911

Divine Mother does not force you to love and be loved.
She merely offers you the opportunity.
She invites you to be present and accept the gift of Her love.

Once you have received this gift,
it will vibrate in your body and in your consciousness,
expanding outward to embrace your life and everyone in it.
All that you do or say will be done with this energy
and contained gently within it.

As you receive, so will you give.
The reactive cycle of fear
will be replaced by the creative cycle of love.

You will become part of a world-wide healing ministry
that will transform consciousness on the planet.

Paul Ferrini

We have seen the highest circle of spiraling powers. We have named this circle God. We might have given it any other name we wished: Abyss, Mystery, Absolute Darkness, Absolute Light, Matter, Spirit, Ultimate Hope, Ultimate Despair, Silence. But we have named it God because only this name, for primordial reasons, can stir our hearts profoundly. And this deeply felt emotion is indispensible if we are to touch, body with body, the dread essence beyond logic.

Nikos Kazantzakis

Possibly the only fear greater than death is love, real love. Finding out that you do love, that this is your nature, is the beginning of the end for everything in you that thinks it’s separate.

Adyashanti

When healing is the target
Illness is the bow.
What is a bow but a device for the transfer of energy?
Likewise an illness.
Properly used, an illness turns an outward focus
inward,
Sends energy to where it’s needed most.
Transforms fears into strength
Arrogance into humility
Compulsion to caring
Cynicism to compassion
Brings balance to imbalance.
The release of pain over-long denied.
Worldly medicine does the opposite.
It requires the patient to look outside herself
To give her power to another
To maintain control
To invade the body
To deny the spirit.
One who embraces illness as well as health
Embraces the whole of life.
She can offer life.
Because she receives life.

Haven Trevino

“I want to know the mind of God,” Einstein said. “The rest are details.” What is the mind of God? Consciousness. What does it mean to know the mind of God? To be aware. What are the details? Your outer purpose, and whatever happens outwardly.

So while you are still waiting for something significant in your life, you may not realize that the most significant thing that can happen to a human being has already happened within you: the beginning of the separation process of thinking and awareness.

Many people who are going through the early stages of the awakening process are no longer certain what their outer purpose is. What drives the world no longer drives them. Seeing the madness of our civilization so clearly, they may feel somewhat alienated from the culture around them. Some feel that they inhabit a no-man’s-land between two worlds. They are no longer run by the ego, yet the arising awareness has not yet become fully integrated into their lives. Inner and outer purpose have not merged.

Eckhart Tolle

I have heard it all my life, a voice
calling a name I recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes in soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always says;
wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There is no safety in that!

Oriah Mountain Dreamer

This being human is a guest house, every morning a new arrival…a joy, a depression, a meanness,
Some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all.
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep the house empty of its furniture.
Still, treat each guest honourably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whomever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Rumi

People take different
roads seeking fulfilment
and happiness.
Just because they’re not
on your road doesn’t
mean they’ve gotten lost.

Dalai Lama

Each of us is unique, valuable, worthy, and irreplaceable. Each of us is kind, wise, knowing, and gifted. Each of us is filled with dignity, gifted with humor, funded with strength. We are met as equals. We bear gifts for each other. Our hearts are true friends, true colleagues. We have a place with each other. We have a need for each other. All of us seek the same answers, although we find them by different routes. All of us hold the same questions although we express them in different ways. Our loving hearts hold the solutions all of us seek. This is a great blessing and indisputable fact. In loving each other, we love the world. In loving each other, we find the world. The world we find is healed by our loving hearts.
