“By going along with feelings,
you unify,
your emotional,
mental,
and bodily states.

When you try to fight
or deny them,
you divorce yourself
from the reality of your being.”

Jane Roberts, The Nature of Personal Reality

“That which oppresses me,
is it my soul
trying to come
out in the open,
or the soul of the world
knocking at my heart
for its entrance?

Rabindranath Tagore

Quotes from A Guide for the Advanced Soul.

“Your subconscious mind has the answer.”

“If you are confronted with a problem and you cannot see an immediate answer, assume that your subconscious has a solution and is waiting to reveal it to you.”

“If an answer does not come, turn the problem over to your deeper mind prior to sleep. Keep on turning your request over to your subconscious until the answer comes.”

“The response will be a certain ‘feeling’, an inner awareness, whereby you ‘know’ what to do. Guidance in all things comes as the still small voice within: It reveals all.”   Brian Adams, How to Succeed.

“Because everything you see or notice about yourself and your situation is viewed through the lens of self-worth, your seeing is incomplete.” page 105

“Misperception occurs when seeing is believing, which is what we call judgment, or when believing is seeing, which is what we call blind faith. All human perception is incomplete and is therefore misperception at the moment we say, “This is it!” page 106

“Quantum physicists assert that at any given moment, infinite possibilities are present. Some go as far as to say that there are infinite universes coexisting. The moment you act as if something is so, the universe of infinite possibilities collapses into one inevitable happenstance. When you look at something and say, “This is what it is,” you are pouring your creative energy (attention and awareness) into that specific perception. The moment your awareness locks on to one possibility, all other universes collapse. While in any given situation there may be many possibilities, innumerable paths, the instant you decree “This is it!” all others vanish. This is why it is so important not to give your power to your perceptions, as if they accurately describe what is going on. When you realize your perception is incomplete and mediated by your need to feel safe and okay, you will pause before drawing concrete conclusions.”  page 107

“What inner quality or resource are you missing? As you look inside yourself, you will see that you are missing a clear connection to your own sense of worth. If you felt whole and confident, you could see that the judgment is about what the other person needs or that it is about what the relationship needs or that it is about what you said or did which created some tension.” page 112

“Shifting your attention from the feeling of defensiveness to the question “What am I making this mean?” allows you to reframe the experience as an opportunity to discover what’s missing in the relationship. In Principle, no one is against you; therefore, what you are making this experience mean is the true enemy.” page 112

“Stride forward with a firm, steady step knowing with a deep, certain inner knowing that you will reach every goal you set yourselves, that you will achieve every aim.”  Eileen Caddy, Footprints On The Path.

No soul that aspires can ever fail to rise; no heart that loves can ever be abandoned. Difficulties exist only that in overcoming them we may grow strong, and they only who have suffered are able to save.”  Annie Besant, Some Difficulties Of The Inner Life.

“You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief. But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.”  Kahlil Gibran

We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, “Why did this happen to me?” unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.  ~Author Unknown

“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”  Frank A. Clark

“”Self-love will enable you to take the healing time, the healing space, without fear. Sexual compatibility will not do it. The need to be needed will not give you strength. The desire to be taken care of will not give you the courage. You’ve got to know how to love yourself whether you are in or out of a relationship. If there is no self-love you will have no choice but to do the hellish and idiotic things in your relationships that make you crazy.”  page 177

“It’s a time of waiting, the meantime is. You are waiting for further instructions, more guidance, additional support, mental or emotional clearance. As it relates to love and relationships, you enter the meantime willing to wait or unwilling to wait. A willing meantime experience is the experience of those people who walk or run into the meantime, willing to do the work. The work required to establish a better relationship with yourself. A willing meantime means recognizing that you are not by yourself, but that you are with yourself, and you don’t mind keeping company with you…”  page 180
