'If we want to be free, then we don't clothe ourselves with our concepts, ideas, and opinions; we take them off. Then something happens quite by itself. In order to deepen this harmony, we cannot hold on to concepts just like we cannot stay partially dressed and get a full tan. We will not get transformed. But once we are really naked and completely exposed, we can become transformed or awakened in a very natural way.' - Adyashanti

'In order to be truly free, you must desire to know the truth more than you want to feel good. Because if feeling good is your goal, then as soon as you feel better you will lose interest in what is true. This does not mean that feeling good or experiencing love and bliss is a bad thing; given the choice, anyone would choose to feel bliss rather than sorrow. It simply means that if this desire to feel good is stronger than the yearning to see, know, and experience Truth, then this desire will always be distorting the perception of what is Real, while corrupting one's deepest integrity.' - Adyashanti

'Maybe I can point you to the great Reality within you. Maybe you will awaken to the direct experience of Self-realization. Maybe you will catch the fire of transmission. But there is one thing that no one can give you: the honesty and integrity that alone will bring you completely to the other shore. No one can give you the strength of character necessary for profound spiritual experience to become the catalyst for the evolutionary transformation called "enlightenment." Only you can find that passion within that burns with an integrity that will not settle for anything less than the Truth.' - Adyashanti

If you still think the same way you did 30 years ago, you just wasted 30 years. (Muhumid Ali)

You can not give to others, that which you have not first given to yourself. (Neal Donald Walsch)

Life’s objective is to fully re experience that we are all God. (Conversations with GOD. By Neal Donald Walsch)

If your God needs vengeance, justice, the rite type of behaviour, repentance, respect, obedience, sacrifice, gifts. Then your God is created in the image of man, and not the other way round.

You will never get rid of the voices in your head. Your gob is to decide when to take them seriously. (me)

Thank you Horace. I have been righting in the form of quotes for many years, simply as a way to remind myself of an idea or concept or chapter in a book. So I can claim them as my short hand. But not my original idea.
The more i look at this one the more i think it may be a direct quote but really not sure.

Being must be felt. It can't be thought. - Eckhart Tolle

It is thought that has emotional complications, not love. – Jiddu Krishnamurti

Emotional involvement blinds us; it is nothing other than a reaction produced by a psyche cut off from its source. – Jean Klein

FEELING is NOT an emotion, and neither is it an experience or a thought. Feeling is what we already know but haven't recognized yet. For example, what if I asked you, "How do you know you exist?" and you'll reply, "Of course I do, I just KNOW I exist." That's it. It is not a memory; not a thought; not an emotion but a KNOWING. A Knowing does not require thought -- you just know! However, we have taken this 'knowing' so much for granted that we have buried it under tons of thoughts and emotions that we are now numb because we no longer feel but think and emote only from the surface. -- Burt Harding

Be aware that what you think, to a large extent, creates the emotions that you feel. See the link between your thinking and your emotions. Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them. – Eckhart Tolle
