“If you do not ask yourself what it is you know, you will go on listening to others and change will not come because you will not hear your own truth.” St. Bartholomew

“Let me be Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Mohammedan, or Sufi; I care not what my religion, my race, my creed, or my color be, if only I can win my way to Thee! But let me be none of these, if it enmesh me in labyrinthine ways of religious formalities. Let me travel the royal road of realization which leads to Thee.” Paramhansa Yogananda

“Throw off all thought of imaginary things and stand firm in that which you are.” Kabir

“If the you of five years ago doesn’t consider the you of today a heretic, then you are not growing spiritually.” Thomas Merton

“The lamps are different, but the light is the same.” Rumi

Thomas Merton

Truth, or awakening, is simply the recognition of what is already perfectly in place. It is not a doctrine and it is not a creation. It is the most profound and joyous discovery a human being will make. Mooji

“When the Buddha taught, he … taught that there is a kind of innocent misunderstanding that we all share, something that can be turned around, corrected, and seen through, as if we were in a dark room and someone showed us where the light switch was. It isn’t a sin that we are in the dark room. It’s just an innocent situation, but how fortunate that someone shows us where the light switch is.” Pema Chodron

“I believe that appreciation is a holy thing – that when we look for what’s best in a person… we are participating in something sacred.” Fred Rogers

Everything in your story is constantly changing, including the story you tell about who you are.

May my focus on the light within be as dedicated as the attention my dog gives to his tennis ball. Unknown

“If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Longfellow

“The power of the words I AM can change how you see yourself and how you see others. We have been conditioned to believe that who we are is ordinary—that who we are is what we have, what we do, what people think of us, what we own, and none of this is who we really are. Who we are is infinite light divine creation, and that creation is within all of us.” Wayne Dyer
