Quotes about Kuan yin quotes


"In your life, you forget your "Always State" or "Always Form". You forget everything. However, you are already always that! There is only eternity, knowledge and bliss. But you're still terrified it might not be true. That is ego at work. Ego keeps one from being free. We want to taste all these experiences. And the ego makes it possible. Don't curse the ego. So many scriptures curse the ego self. Instead, look at your life as about choices, experiences and desires--that you are already liberated. Don't be afraid of desire. That is why you're here, to taste, live."

"When one brings spirit into the human realm, it can even spiritualize matter. Matter can then become lighter, indeed liberated, not so dense, as before."

"What a radical concept! Everyone having loving kindness! With practice, a reality is created somewhere having that very consciousness of loving kindness. Such practice also draws one to those (loving kindness) planes of consciousness."

"Do not drag the negative past or future into the present. Understanding the possibilities of the present. It's a skill useful for discovering the divine," comments Kuan Yin.
"Kuan Yin is showing me something-a tube, I think. I don't fully understand this diagram. It is as if one end is the past, the other the future. The middle of the tube, the present, is our way, our vehicle for changing reality. You slip into the universe, while living in this dream, this present. Your escape hatch is right here."

"It's a good time to ask ourselves to look at the lies we are telling ourselves. It's a time to examine our thoughts and the thoughts of the people of the world. Let us all reflect upon the "great mix" of free will and karma. Reread the past chapters and ponder what I have said. Karma is intricate, detailed. One cannot dwell on only one particle of this great collective energy. Your life is but one frame of an entire reel of film."

"What I am placing my hand upon is a dense conglomeration of stuck energy made up of certain ideas. Naturally, not all ideas are included in this energy. It needs certain elements, things sprinkled into it gradually. Having compassion for the "untruth". That is what's missing. I'm sending compassion into this rock. One needs to slowly add elements of insight to reach truth."

"At the same time you're equal to everyone else, you need to know you're also special, unique. Everyone has his or her own uniqueness while also being equal to the next person."

"I'm seeing how one's mind can distract, can come between one another. Here and now [visiting with Kuan Yin], there is no space between our complete focused attentions. The energy is unbroken, continuous. It's like meditation."

"You're at page ten but I understand the entire evolution," remarks Kuan Yin. "In reality, it's already over. It's a dream. Remember? You're living a dream. It's very complicated to hold the dream and live the dream. You are learning the art of juggling the dream and the world of dreams. No one really gets hurt."

"I'm recalling a Buddhist parable," mentions Lena. "It involves an individual who climbs the mountain to receive wisdom from a monk. If one comes to the monk with an empty container, that individual can be filled with wisdom. On the other hand, if one comes filled with preconceptions, their mind already made up; any new knowledge or wisdom will simply spill over."
"Yes", agrees Kuan Yin. "The best state of meditation is to come to these sessions with an "empty cup". Then you can receive new information without any forced structure or chronology. Hope learned not to "jam her cup" with too much intellectualism. It closes off the heart. Think of the head as the top of the bottle. If it is too tightly, firmly "screwed on", it closes off the entire vessel. The message, then, is to not lose your head. If the head is "lost", true wisdom, knowledge cannot reach the heart"

"One usually finds a Deity or god, which can help liberate, teach them. It is not helpful, however, to have a Deity forced upon one. It may be the wrong angel-the wrong guide. In such a case, the guide or religion can have the effect of having the individual not perceive anything spiritual or cause them to believe they've failed. Unfortunately, sometimes in these instances, individuals will shun their own spiritual path."

"People who've never suffered haven't yet developed an ability to utilize their own creativity to solve a challenging situation. An analogy would be that of a person who has fallen into a well. After many attempts of trying to climb out of the well, they develop strength, ingenuity. That is what many are doing on this earth. However, devastating struggle is always karmic. It might seem karmic if one has had a bad day or week. However, "little suffering" is for the purpose of building character and inner trust. On the other hand, "extreme suffering" for no apparent reason is an indication one is dealing with big karma."

"No two paths look the same," emphasizes Kuan Yin. "Tradition is good. However, in the Western Culture there are so many people looking for wisdom. And it is important to get familiar with the various paths. Such a process develops character for one to look inward for their right path."

"Some women are powerful teachers. However, even women can be afraid of death, forget how the pain vanishes. Just as a woman heals rapidly after childbirth and then is able to fall "in love" with her baby, those who pass over also are able to fall in love with a new life."

"Death is like giving birth. Birth can be painful. Sometimes women die from giving birth. However, when the baby is born, all that pain vanishes in an instant. Love for that tiny baby makes one forget the pain, the fear. And as I've said before, love between mother and child is the highest experience, the closest to divine love. You might wonder about the parallel I'm making between birth and death. But I say to you, the fear and pain accompanying an awful death is over quickly. Beyond that portal one is suddenly in the light, in oneness and bliss."

"They hated their humanity," interjects Kuan Yin. "Such hatred is not helpful at all. In fact, it's unnatural. And it is really not the truth. The truth is one must be fully human for the divine part of self to be more in tune. Rejecting the human body assures one will have to come back, return to the lessons here on earth. It means ‘you didn't get it'."

"Gain strength. Suck up energy. Make a point to appreciate the fragrance of the flowers and the beauty of the sunset. It's like armor and then you're armed with an ability to be detached. One is meant to forgive, to forgive and be compassionate."
