"To transcend the world requires compassion and acceptance,
the result of inner humility,by which the world is surrendered to
God with increased peace of mind"
Doc Hawkins



"Through compassion arises the desire to understand rather
than condemn.Doc Hawkins




It is not the world that is a trap,but one's attachment to it, along
with one's observations that cloud the search for truth.
Doc Hawkins

"Realize the journey and the goal are always the same"

Love the quotes, Glen :) Particularly that last one - Socrates, I believe :tongue:

'Many people get confused about speaking the truth; they think speaking the truth means saying whatever it is you're feeling egoically, and that's not speaking the truth, that's vomiting your ego on the world - that's being a slave to your ego, that's being a victim. Speaking your truth means listening to that which you hold most high.' - Craig Holliday

'The only emotions that you can heal are the ones that you let yourself feel and let yourself express. In order to feel our emotions we have to risk vulnerability; vulnerability can be very difficult, especially for those of us who equate it with getting hurt, so it seems very risky to allow ourselves to come into touch with our own emotions. But you can't heal the emotions you can't feel, and your life will go very,very badly for you if you can't risk that vulnerability and at least allow yourself to touch on those emotions and express them.' - Teal Swan
I remember reading that quote about ten years back, it did give me a chuckle - always had a soft spot for ol' Kurt V :)

Awareness is the silent and choiceless observation of 'what is'. - J.Krishnamurti


All human suffering is a variation on this theme—trying to control the waves, trying to control our present-moment experience so it conforms to our ideas and concepts of how it should be. If you want to suffer, compare this moment with your image of how it should be! -- Jeff Foster
