From time to time we come across sayings and words that are inspirational,
motivational or healing. May you find something here that will aid you in
your quest.
Be the eye of God dwelling with you,
The foot of Christ in guidance with you,
The shower of the Spirit pouring on you,
Richly and generously.
Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to
limit the human spirit.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate,

descending spiral of destruction. The chain reaction of evil must be broken, or
we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The spirit down here in humanity and the spirit up there

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil,
but because of those who look on and do nothing.

consciousness. All life emerges from, and is sustained in, consciousness. The
whole universe is the expression of consciousness. The reality of the universe
is one unbounded ocean of consciousness in motion.
- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The
forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will
vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they
come from is eternal, growing, branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why
do you weep? The source is within you and this whole world is springing up from
it.
- Jelauddin Rumi
You cannot see anything that you do not first contemplate
as a reality.

use.

of it – always.

If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the Kingdom is in
the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is
in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the Kingdom is inside of
you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will
become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living
Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you
who are that poverty.’
- (All the sayings of Jesus gathered from ancient sources and compiled into a
single volume for the first time. Compiled by Ricky Alan Mayotte) From "The
Complete Jesus." (Pg 71) Jesus

one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.

of immense intelligence.

Time is not a line, but a series of now points.

Cease from practice based on intellectual understanding, pursuing words, and
following after speech, and learn the backward step that turns your light inward
to illuminate your self. Body and mind of themselves will drop away, and your
original face will be manifest.

Although each of us obviously inhabits a separate physical body, the laboratory
data from a hundred years of parapsychology research strongly indicate that

eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep?
The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.
- Jelauddin Rumi
A full-spectrum approach to human consciousness and behavior means that men and

inherent in the very nature of life.

in the field of consciousness; the prerequisite to complete education is
therefore the full development of consciousness -- enlightenment. Knowledge is
not the basis of enlightenment, enlightenment is the basis of knowledge.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything.
What we think, we become.

because we are fooling away our time with outward and perishing things, and are
asleep in regard to that which is real within ourself.
- Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus
When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it

“Suddenly, from behind the rim of the moon, in long, slow-motion moments of
immense majesty, there emerges a sparkling blue and white jewel, a light,

a moment to fully realize this is Earth…home. My view of our planet was a
glimpse of divinity.”

In the century now dawning, spirituality, visionary consciousness, and the

operation than destroying the one we don't want.
