Feel like Giving Up? Keep Moving Toward Your Dreams

Friday, October 14th, 2011

“What you still need to know is this: before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one ‘dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.’”

“Every search begins with beginner’s luck. And every search ends with the victor’s being severely tested.”

Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist, page 132.

Feelings Teach Us About Ourselves And Our World

Monday, August 29th, 2011

“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.

Finding the Answer

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

“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.

Setting Goals and Accomplishing Them

Sunday, January 23rd, 2011

“We can accomplish a great deal in life, if we can discipline ourselves to do one thing at a time, to do it wholeheartedly, and not to worry distractedly about all the things we’d like to accomplish, or wish we had accomplished in the past.”  page 101

“…In basic ways, every human being is like a house divided against itself. One part of our nature affirms life. Another part, disagreeing, rejects it. Doubt, fear, and worry intervene to block even our best intentions.” page 101

“If we direct the mind wisely, instead of letting it rule us, we can transform failure itself into victory…” page 105

“Concentration means exerting oneself in a single direction, and not – as most people do all the time, whether consciously or unconsciously – working against oneself. To the extent that we work on the conscious mind, the task is more or less clear cut. To the extent, however, that we must work on the subconscious to resolve those aspects of our nature which work against our active resolutions, we must reconcile ourselves to a more difficult, though still possible, task. In fact, we must come to grips with the fact that we are, at times, in the throes of an inner war.”

“A strong affirmation of will has the power to impose obedience on the subconscious. The important thing is to address the subconscious, and not merely to pretend that all is well in the ranks. The will must act like a general.” page 112

“For the nature of the subconscious is to be solution-oriented. To tune into that aspect of your nature which, ultimately, can truly command your destiny – don’t dwell on the problems you face. Don’t, on the other hand, ignore your problems. But exert your will in full expectation that a solution to every problem can be found.”  page 118

“At all times, therefore, be solution-oriented!” page 119

”Energy generates magnetism. The stronger the flow of energy, the greater the magnetism. It is magnetism, finally, that attracts to us all that we receive in life.” page 119

Thank-you to J. Donald Walters for Money Magnetism! These few quotes are merely a sample of the riches found in his book. Reading this powerful book helped me and can help you to increase your own magnetism in life.

Calming The Mind

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

“Meditation’s calm
The sweet incense it brings
Restores us to peaceful
Inner wellsprings
Helps us shed all cares
Cools and soothes the soul
Clears the mind
Makes us whole.”
C. Alexander Simpkins

“Prayer is like talking to God,
meditation is a way of listening to God.”
Edgar Cayce, The Divine Within

“Thoughtful action to establish order. Meditation is nothing other than a relaxation technique with various larger purposes.”  Andrew Weil

“Breath and consciousness become pure. It is exactly like muddy water left to stand in a glass. Little by little, the sediment sinks to the bottom and the water becomes pure.”  Taisen Deshimaru

“When thine eye is single thy whole body also is full of light.”  Jesus of Nazareth

Life Struggles?

Friday, October 1st, 2010

“We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success; we often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do, and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.”  Samuel Smiles

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

“As a progressive and evolving being. Man is where he is that he may learn that he may grow; and as he learns the spiritual lesson which any circumstance contains for him it passes away to other circumstances.” James Allen, As A Man Thinketh.
