There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is, Comtempt prior to investigation.

- Herbert Spencer, nineteenth century philosopher

This above all: to your own s(S)elf be true – shakespeare

Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest; humility grows when we refuse to be prideful; and endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up.

“Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.”

A woman surrenders her power, in trust, to her man. A woman expresses her love by trusting. Thus, a woman empowers and motivates a man. If he betrays this trust (not only through sex with others but by generally not having his game tight), he loses his power. In return for her surrendering her power, a woman gets what she really wants – her man’s power expressed as his intense, undivided, masculine love. When this happens, she is included in his sphere of self-interest. Thus, what was once two is now one.

What true patience is, is knowing that you want it and knowing that it’s coming and actually enjoying the unfolding along the way. Understand that you never get it done. So you might as well be patient. You never get it done, because every time you want and receive, you also receive a new perspective from which to want. Life is a constant unfolding of new desires and then a constant alignment to those desires.
-Abraham Hicks

“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 does not serve the world. There is 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 is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson

Sedate your hesitation”

We change the world not by what we say or do, but as a consequence of what we have become.

The more we give love, the greater our capacity to do so.

Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others.

The downside of spiritual education is the buildup of the vanity of ‘I know’ and the devaluation of people who are ‘not spiritual’. Therefore it is important as a foundation to spiritual training and education to learn how consciousness manifests as the ego and its mechanisms.

Why give the ego more power by resisting and opposing it?

That which you resist stays.

Everybody is like a magnet. You attract to yourself reflections of that which you are. If you’re friendly then everybody else seems to be friendly too.

Everything you see happening is the consequence of that which you are.

All judgment reveals itself to be self-judgment in the end, and when this is understood a larger comprehension of the nature of life takes its place.”

- David Hawkins

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. (Benjamin Disaraeli).

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. (Mother Theresa)

“I’d rather shoot for the stars and land in the mud, than aim for the mud….and make it.”

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” – Jesus

“The world is the drama of the ego” David Hawkins

True personal growth is about transcending the part of you that is not okay and needs protection. This is done by constantly remembering that you are the one inside that notices the voice talking. That is the way out.

There is nothing scary about life, if you are not attached to results.

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

“There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.”

“Even if you are not yet ready to live them, try to understand that there exist higher forms of love that you must aim for, if you really want your love to make you happy. A woman cannot give everything to a man, nor a man to a woman, so they should say to each other, ‘Please understand I am not able to bring you total fulfillment. Even if I gave you everything I possess, your heart is so immense, the entire universe would not be able to fill it, and your intelligence needs a light I do not possess. Only God can give you everything. So, consent to use me only as a means of getting closer to God. I will stay with you, but it will be God you are seeking through me.’ That is how men and women should speak to each other, and then love would no longer leave them. It would become their permanent state of consciousness, and nothing would ever be able to trouble it. When you live love in this way, as a state of consciousness, you feel constant warmth inside yourself and a light that is never extinguished.”
—Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov

“In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it’s the exact opposite.”

Test everything. Hold on to the good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

“The problem of all lovers is that deep down they are afraid. They go on wondering whether this relationship will be strong enough to bear truth. But how can you know beforehand? If the relationship survives truth, it will be beautiful. If it dies, then, too, it is good because one false relationship has ended.”
