Don't Take It Personally

Whatever happens around you,
don't take it personally.
Nothing other people do is
because of you. It is because
of themselves.

Don Miguel Ruiz

People Do Not Get the Message Right

All religion, all philosophy, all wars,
all pograms, and persecutions happen
because people do not get the message right.

Terence McKenna

Happiness From What Is

We cannot let our happiness be
determined by outside circumstances.
We have to live in the moment and
our happiness or feelings need to
come from what is.

Katie Meyler

Change the Internal First

If we try to change the external
without changing the internal first,
the changes will fade, revert,
and the old pattern will repeat.

Penney Pierce

What Works and What Doesn't

Like anyone on a spiritual path, I seek
to live increasingly without fear and
separatist thinking, and more from
an awareness of unity and respect for life
(of course, it’s a grand work in progress!).
To do this, I practice measuring
what I experience in my outer reality
against what I know of how
the internal universal laws function,
to see what has natural harmony
and actually works, and what doesn’t.

What We Already Have

Is it possible to want
what we already have?

Esther Perel

We Need Only to Allow

The practice was to ALLOW.
We need only to allow.
This is it. This is reality.
Allow it.
