self-realization

YOU MATTER- "if you forgive yourself then you can forgive others, if you control yourself then you can control others, if you understand yourself then you can understand others, if you love yourself then you can love others, if you respect yourself then you can respect others. Everything starts with only YOU. You Matter in your life.

Realization is the direct seeing that this entity you have believed yourself to be has its roots in something infinitely vast and that this entity is not separate from that vastness, the source, the absolute.

There is no separate entity that could be enlightened or unenlightened. There are only innumerable expressions of the One Being (which we call people, animals, forms), mirror-like facets, reflecting being-ness back to itself.

The essence of death is discovered in the gap between one moment ceasing and another one beginning. That essence is the wakefulness that is our true nature.

Whatever experiences we may come across in our spiritual journey we are not any of those experiences but rather the one who is witnessing them, the pure awareness cognizing them without thought.

Thoughts, by their nature, come and go endlessly in you. But you are not the thought; you are the one seeing the thought, so any thought of who you are cannot be the truth of who you are.

It is not you as the ego who moves through life, but that life flows before you, and you are the immutable awareness containing it all.

Those who are actively seeking enlightenment will not find it because the act of looking for it is the distraction from it.

Our lives are a divine expression no matter how messy and weird they may be. How much more meaningful can it get? The source is experiencing itself in form in a conscious, awake way.

The greatest privileges:You are saved.You are a child of Most High God.You are co-heirs with Christ.You share in Christ suffering, life adversities.You share in Christ glory, strength of will and survival of life's difficulties.

Anger-pride-deceit-greed are in the form of __ischarge_. But if one does not have __nowledge of True Self_ (realization of the self), then he __harges_ new karmas within.

Falling in love is a kind of wonder.

[He] made me feel lonely, and being alone with another person is much worse than being alone all by yourself.

Trusting the resolve in my heart is but a stepping stone to the future I now see clearly.

The light within us gives power for good actions.

Without deep darkness, we fail to appreciate the light.

The path of light is quest for knowledge.

Being your own light ensures that you will never need another to pull you out of darkness again.
