Beautiful.
I am reading the whole thread right now anyway :hug3:

I KNOW! These quotes just "send me".

Another from Jeremiah off the top from mem, paraphrased:
(This is the one that changed my life 5 yrs ago...)

Let he who is rich not boast of his riches. And let he who is strong not boast of his strength. Nor let he who is wise not boast of his wisdom; but he who must boast...let him boast of this...that he knows and understands me, so saith the Lord.

? 9:23 ?

Gradually, you will come to know God's loving, sheltering will is within you
and about you, and this realization will give you a consciousness of security
and understanding.

~ Cora Fillmore, 1937..co founder of Unity Church, part of the
New Thought movement. (Can be googled)

"The one who is not acquainted yet with sacrifice does not understand Love"
Master Beinsa Douno (from the book "The Wellspring of Good")

Miss Hepburn 06-04-2013 02:01 PM

If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life you must get close to, or even into,
the thing that has them.
They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone.
They are a great fountain of energy and beauty spurting up at the very centre of reality.
If you are close to it, the spray will wet you; if you are not you will remain dry.


~CS Lewis, 1943

A Persona evolves only by the interaction with other Personae, either human or animal, and this process cannot be circumvented by shunning human affection or simply by worshipping some concept of Deity.

Joan Grant

Bluegreen 06-04-2013 05:46 PM

I know that those who are further evolved than I am are on a rung above me in the ladder of evolution because their insight is more accurate, their comprehension more compassionate, their hearts more commodious: therefore I say with every volt of energy I can utilise, every extension of my affections, that it is not only futile but blasphemous to postulate a God who is not more understanding and therefore more gentle than one is oneself.

We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness

...character is neither inherited nor moulded by the pressures of the environment, but is formed only by the exercise of the individual's power of choice.

Outside pressures can cause a person to change his behaviour, but only he himself can change his intentions.

Quote:

“Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back.
From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment.
The eternal makes you urgent.
You are loath to let compromise or the threat of danger hold you back from striving toward the summit of fulfillment.”
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Quote:

“You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.”
― John O'Donohue

“Real friendship or love is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention. Friendship is always an act of recognition.”

“It could be a meeting on the street, or a party or a lecture, or just a simple, banal introduction, then suddenly there is a flash of recognition and the embers of kinship glow. There is an awakening between you, a sense of ancient knowing.”
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Quote:

“The beauty that emerges from woundedness is a beauty infused with feeling; a beauty different from the beauty of landscape and the cold perfect form.
This is a beauty that has suffered its way through the ache of desolation until the words or music emerged to equal the hunger and desperation at its heart.
It must also be said that not all woundedness succeeds in finding its way through to beauty of form.
Most woundedness remains hidden, lost inside forgotten silence.
Indeed, in every life there is some wound that continues to weep secretly, even after years of attempted healing.
Where woundedness can be refined into beauty a wonderful transfiguration takes place.”

― John O'Donohue

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

Did I say whoa?

The Vedas became confounded trying to know My essence ; the mind and vital breath lost their nerve in trying to reach Me and the sun and moon were eclipsed before My splendor , even before the night had set in

As the fetus in the womb cannot gauge its mother's age , so all these gods cannot know Me.

From a 700-hundred years old Taoist manuscript:

"If you will but meditate fifteen minutes a day you can set ten thousand lives at rest."

Natalia, could you give a source to this quote?
I was told he did not say it.
I did doubt it myself when I read it ...tho I loved and agreed with it.
It doesn't even sound like anything he's said before.
Thanx

Bluegreen 09-04-2013 02:00 PM

Apparently it is Bashar's.
I wonder whether Natalia can confirm this.

Miss Hepburn 09-04-2013 02:41 PM

I like Bashar...but I can't use him to quote to "this" guy
Einstein is even iffy! LOL!

It seems the quote is something New Agers took and then attributed to Einstein. A Google search came up with Bashar.

Now if only there was a guide book to "match the frequency of the reality you want"! That's the tricky bit -
if only it were as easy as twiddling the dial on an old radio.... :confused:

But it is....example...ask for better finances...smile, say thank you to Whom you thank.
Know it is on it's way and be happy...that is matching it's frequency....remember...just
One of the many things I have received by knowing it was on its way was $100,000 dollars to pay off my mortgage...that was just one...it took years of not having a care in this world...complete confidence my mortgage would be taken care of...and one day...the rest is history.
I'm not just talking from some book learning. I have applied this matching of frequencies...it works.

Just know it's going to happen and never have doubt, ever.

Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.
~ Marilyn Ferguson

"Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth... This is the real message of LOVE."
-- Thich Nhat Hanh, from "Teachings of Love"

Miss Hepburn 10-04-2013 12:02 PM

Why keep making love with God's child - Form
When He Himself is standing
Before us
So open-armed?

~Hafiz

ravenstar 10-04-2013 12:13 PM

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

The salt of the sea is in our blood; the calcium of the rocks is in our bones; the genes of ten thousand generations of stalwart progenitors are in our cells. The sun shines and we smile. The winds age and we bend before them. The blossoms open and we rejoice. Earth is our long home.
- Stewart W. Holmes

AdAstra 10-04-2013 03:40 PM

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."-Siddhartha Gautama(the buddha)

If hundreds of thousands of suns rose up at once into the sky,
they might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Lord in
that universal form.
