spirituality

You are the space in which these thoughts arise, but not the thoughts themselves.

Since living is believing, no one can be completely lacking in faith.

We are all just humble students of the world.

Learn to resist but do not be un-moveable in your resistance. Resist like the water.

Life is a learning experience and this is a very peaceful method of accepting the reality you face__hat will I learn?

Through spiritual maturity you will see new ways to avoid unnecessary suffering; wiser ways to endure unavoidable hardships with grace, and opportunities to turn your pain into lessons of service and healing for others.

You are not your mistakes and your mistakes are not you.

Every dimension of your suffering will instruct you, until you have learned your essential lessons.

In our modern world, we look unkindly on mistakes and imperfection. But this is far from the samurai ideal. Mistakes are part of the learning process and if you haven't made them then you are, indeed, dangerous because it means you have never learned anything. Mistakes, to a samurai, are the proof of your learning.

If you learn to look at the worldly madness through spiritual eyes, you will begin to see divine balance and sanity.

The teacher can only provide the lessons, but the student ultimately decides what to learn.

Never forget that you are not in the world; the world is in you. When anything happens to you, take the experience inward. Creation is set up to bring you constant hints and clues about your role as co-creator. Your soul is metabolizing experience as surely as your body is metabolizing food

If you look at today through the eyes of the past, you can never see what the present moment has to offer.

When we leave this life, we only get to take two things: the love we received and the lessons we learned.

When you keep explaining and rehashing you just keep your mistake alive. Learn your lesson and adjust your behavior and move forward.

Learning and knowing something is cool, but superb knowledge comes when you leave your books and become the inner world's friend.

There is enough mystery in human nature to keep the world stuck in a perpetual state of righteous speculation. Only the wise and compassionate will rise above it, with enough vision to see that inconsistency is a normal occurrence, during the spiritual battle of forgiveness and justice.

You have to learn how to take care of yourself. Who you need, is you. It was always about and for you.
