“…To do this requires one to have a radical trust in God at work in his life or her life. As we embrace this trust, we find that the very force that shook our world and caused it to collapse around us – the force that we first resisted, then gradually accepted, and now align with – was the force that brought us home to our true Self. We are reminded of the man who said, “I prayed to God when the foundations of my life were being shaken…only to find that it was God that was shaking them!”
“So we begin to trust the ’shakings,’ and we no longer resist the force the crumbles the structure of our life. What we once called a tragedy, we now see as an opportunity for greater freedom, wisdom, and power – not to be feared, but actually welcomed.”
Robert Brumet, Finding Yourself in Transition, Using Life’s Changes for Spiritual Awakening, page 150.

“Crises precede transformation. Before every quantum change, ‘problems’ emerge – limits to growth, stagnation, unmanageable complexity, impending catastrophes, disintegration. From the perspective of the present, the crises look like mistakes, deadly errors in the system. But from the perspective after the quantum transformation, these problems are seen to be ‘evolutionary drivers,’ vital stimulants which trigger astounding design innovations.” Barbara Max Hubbard, The Evolutionary Journey, page 27
“Each crises can be a turning point that leads to the death of an old way of being and to the birth of a new life. Indeed, evolution proceeds through a process of deaths and rebirths, of endings and new beginnings. Out of fear and ignorance, we often resist our endings, our deaths. Our human conditioning may lead us to believe that “all is lost forever.” Yet wisdom and faith allow us to see beyond the appearance of tragedy, to the new life beyond. We then begin to see each ending, each death, not as a tragedy, but as a prelude to transformation.” page 135
“The key element in dealing effectively with crises is that of a mindful awareness: a willingness to consciously experience our discomfort without denial or distraction. Awareness is essential for transformation.” page 134
“A question we often hear is, “What is the divine plan for my life?” The answer can rarely be stated in words, but it can be found by simply looking at what is in front of us. Step by step, day by day, the plan unfolds before our very eyes. The path we must take is the path we are on.” page 138
The above quotes are from Robert Brumet’s, Finding Yourself in Transition, Using Life’s Changes for Spiritual Awakening.

“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

“To hold joy, we may sometimes have to fight for it, we may have to strengthen ourselves and go full-bore, doing battle in whichever ways deem most shrewd. To prepare for siege, we may have to go without many comforts for the duration. We can go without most things for long periods of time, anything almost, but not our joy, not those handmade red shoes.” page 254
“…It is from a poem by Charles Simic and it is the ultimate instruction to us all: ‘He who cannot howl, will not find the pack.’ If you want to re-summon Wild Women, refuse to be captured. With instincts sharpened for balance-jump anywhere you like, howl at will, take what there is, find out all about it, let your eyes show your feelings, look into everything, see what you can see. Dance in red shoes, but make sure they’re the ones you made by hand. I can promise that you will become one vital women.” page 254
Read the story of The Red Shoes in “Self-preservation” on page 215 of Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

“Clear vision is like a man with a compass; he knows where he is going. Let intuition be your compass and it will always get you out of the woods. Even a man without a compass, led by intuition, would find his way out of the jungle, or be able to steer a ship at sea. Intuition will tell you to walk over the rope. It is amazing how people have overlooked their most important faculty-intuition. Always on man’s pathway is his message or lead. Often our leads seem trivial or silly. A person purely on the intellectual plane would dismiss them at once but the Truth student always has his spiritual ear to the ground, knowing he is receiving orders from the Infinite. The Bible speaks often of “the still small voice.” It is a voice which is not an actual voice, though sometimes actual words are registered on the inner ear.”
“When we ask for guidance and lay aside the reasoning mind we are tapping the Universal supply of all knowledge; anything necessary for you to know will be revealed to you. Some people are naturally intuitive and are always in contact with the Universal Intelligence, but by taking an affirmation we make a conscious contact. Prayer is telephoning to God, and intuition is God telephoning to you. Many people have a “busy wire” when God telephones and they don’t get the message. Your wire is “busy” when you are discouraged, angry, or resentful. You’ve heard the expression “I was so mad I couldn’t see straight.” We might add, “I was so mad I couldn’t hear straight.” Your negative emotions drown out the voice of intuition.
“When you are discouraged, angry, or resentful, is the time to make a statement of Truth, in order to get out of the woods of despair and limitation, for “Whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord shall be delivered!” There is a way out- “Reveal to me the way.”
“We must stop planning, plotting and scheming and let Infinite Intelligence solve the problem in Its own way. God-power is subtle, silent and irresistible. It levels mountains and fills in valleys and knows no defeat! Our part is to prepare for our blessings and follow our intuitive leads.”
“We now give Infinite Intelligence right-of-way.”

“Compassion is not codependency. It does not arise from an avoidance of one’s own pain. Codependency arises from a perceived need for love and approval from outside oneself. Compassion does not arise from any such deficiency. Codependency arises from one’s own unacknowledged suffering and unhealed wounds. Compassion arises from our willingness to embrace all our life experiences-both pleasant and unpleasant.”
“We cultivate compassion for others as we cultivate compassion for ourselves. We cultivate compassion for ourselves when we treat ourselves as friends and consider ourselves with the same kindness that we desire for others. We cultivate compassion for ourselves as we begin to acknowledge our own pain rather than deny it or discount it. To truly love others, we must first love ourselves. To develop compassion for others, we must first develop compassion for ourselves.”
“Love is a divine idea, has infinite possibilities for expression. Compassion is a quality of love. It can be expressed in infinite ways. Compassion can be expressed as a feeling, such as a deep sense of warmth and caring. Nevertheless, true compassion is more that just feeling or intention. True compassion is action. True compassion is kindness, service, and commitment to the well-being of others.”
Robert Brumet, The Quest For Wholeness, Healing Ourselves, Healing Our World, pages 218 & 219.

“You can be sure that God did not create relationship so that we would betray ourselves. Indeed, it is quite the opposite. The purpose of relationship is to insure that we learn to be faithful to ourselves. One of the paradoxes of relationship as a spiritual path is that we give our power away to others in order to learn to honor ourselves more completely. We become co-dependent with others in order to learn how to have better boundaries. We blame others so that we can learn to be gentle with oursleves and forgive our own mistakes.”
“It is all a set-up. We look for love and happiness through other people only to learn that we can find love and happiness only in our own hearts and minds. That is the recognition in which the ‘We’ is born.”
Paul Ferrini, Creating A Spiritual Relationship, A Guide To Growth And Happiness For Couples On The Path, page 101

“Differences are as important as similarities in a relationship. It’s easy to love people who agree with us and share our values and interests. It’s not so easy to love people who disagree with us and have very different values and interests. To do this, we must love unconditionally. Our love must be based on acceptance, not on agreement.” page 57
“Honest, non-blaming communication is necessary on a regular basis in a relationship. The essence of communication is listening. First we must listen to our thoughts and feelings and take responsibility for them before we can express them to others. Then, once we have expressed how we think and feel in a non-blaming way to others, we need to listen to how others think and feel. At least to two thirds of all helpful communication involves listening.”
“There are two ways to listen. One is with judgment; the other is without judgment. When we listen with judgment, we don’t really hear. It doesn’t matter whether we are listening to another or ourselves. In either case, judgment prevents us from hearing what is being thought or felt”.
“”Only when we accept the content of what we think or feel or what others think and feel can we really hear what is being said. Without acceptance, listening doesn’t happen.” page 68 & 69
“But to come into this dialog each person must be willing to take responsibility for his or her experience and respect the experience of other people. That means you can no longer make your partner responsible for what you think, feel, or do and your partner can no longer make you responsible for what s/he thinks, feels, or does. S/he must accept your experience as it is and you must accept his or hers. That is one of the greatest gifts you can give each other.” page 100

“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
