Your path is written in the stars , if you recognize and honour this truth you will elevate the soul to heights of consciousness and awareness hitherto unknown.
" To liberate the human spirit we must embrace heightened consciousness and enhance the flow of positive energy. We are beings of light and energy , once we accept this truth our soul can soar with the angels."
" If we are to honour the gift of being human we must embrace our true nature and teach our souls to fly. "
If we walk in balance and travel in peace the divine creative energy of our soul will inspire others to journey into realms of sacred exploration.
One completed soul takes two braves hearts.
One completed soul takes two braves hearts.
No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight of the soul.
Heal the soul first; then healing of the mind and body will follow.
Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book,
and dismiss whatever insults your own soul...
It is also not consistent with the reality of the soul to admit that there is anything
in the known universe more divine than men and women.
The master knows that he is unspeakably great and that all are unspeakably great.
There will soon be no more priests... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two,
dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place.
A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man,
and every man shall be his own priest.
Love is a melody that no one can resist. It becomes part of the rythum of your soul the first time that you're kissed.
As each soul brings what it has learned from its life experience, that which is God is enriched but the soul that comes to God is not the soul you have lived with, it is the soul you were born with, enriched by your life experience but not tainted by it. God does not evolve, neither does the soul you were born with as they are a constant and evolved far beyond human beings.
"Flint has the potential to produce fire, and gems have intrinsic value. We ordinary people can see neither our own eyelashes, which are so close, nor the heavens in the distance. Likewise, we do not see that the Buddha exists in our own hearts."
You are a powerful, unlimited and eternal soul who is here to enjoy the experience of creativity and contribute to humanity's evolution.
True words are to thought as pure notes are to music -- both capable of expressing the mysteries of the soul.
We can never fully know.
I simply believe that some part of the human Self or Soul
is not subject to the laws of space and time.
...that I alone hold the definition of what I am.
"Never alone am I, no matter how strong the feeling that may overcast my soul."
When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.
"Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place."
In fact every belief is an obstacle. It does not even require you realization, since you are already who you are. But without realization, who you are does not shine forth into this world. It remains in the unmanifested which is, of course, your true home. You are then like an apparently poor person who does not know he has a bank account with $100 million in it and so his wealth remains an unexpressed potential
"Run your fingers through my soul. For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine, and for once, just once, understand."
A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain.
You have no way of knowing anything about your death, now or at the end of your so-called life. Unless knowledge, the continuity of knowledge, comes to an end, death cannot take place. You want to know something about death: you want to make that a part of your knowledge. But death is not something mysterious; the ending of that knowledge is death. What do you think will continue after death? What is there while you are living? Where is the entity there? There is nothing there -- no soul -- there is only this question about after death. The question has to die now to find the answer -- your answer; not my answer -- because the question is born out of the assumption, the belief, that there is something to continue after death.
We believe profoundly in silence—the sign of a perfect equilibrium.
Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind, and spirit.
Those who can preserve their selfhood ever calm and unshaken by the
storms of existence—not a leaf, as it were, astir on the tree; not a
ripple upon the shining pool—those, in the mind of the person of
nature, possess the ideal attitude and conduct of life.
If you ask us, `What is silence?' we will answer, `It is the
Great Mystery. The holy silence is God's voice.'
If you ask, `What are the fruits of silence?' we will
answer, `They are self-control, true courage of endurance, patience,
dignity, and reverence. Silence is the cornerstone of character.'
The transcendental impulse to connect with God and the spiritual world represents one of the most basic and powerful forces in Homo sapiens sapiens. Religious-spiritual-mystical experiences (RSMEs) point to a fundamental dimension of human existence and represent the heart of the world's great religions. This process of self-transcendence awakens one to one's transcendental or spiritual self.
The Brain Mediates but Does Not Produce RSMEs
There is no scientific evidence showing that delusions or hallucinations produced by a dysfunctional brain can induce the kind of long-term positive changes and psychospiritual transformation that often follow RSMEs. In fact, delusions and hallucinations usually constitute negative experiences fom a subjective perspective.
Materialist neuroscientists have not succeeded in providing a satisfactory neurobiological theory of how mind,consciousness, self, and RSMEs arise from the interaction between various brain regions, neural circuits, and neurotransmitters. In my view, this enterprise is doomed to failure. Why? Because of the immense epistemological gap between the psychological realm (psyche) and the physical realm (physis). Findings from NDEs and in particular the case of Pam Reynolds, suggest that mind and consciousness can continue when clinical criteria of death have been reached and the brain no longer functions. These findings also indicate that RSMEs can occur when the Brain is not functioning. Such findinds lead me to posit that the transformative power of RSMEs arises from an encounter with an objectively real spiritual force that exists independently from the individuals who have the experience.
This conclusion is compatible with William James's hypothesis that the brain does not generate but transmits and expresses mental processes/events. The brain can be compared with a television receiver that translates electromagnetic waves (which exist apart from the TV receiver) into picture and sound. Along similar lines Henri Bergson and Aldous huxley have proposed that our brains do not produce mind and consciousness, but rather acts as reducing valves, allowing us the experience of only a narrow portion of perceivable reality. Brain normally limits our experience of the spiritual world. Neuroimaging studies conducted with Carmelite nuns suggest that neuroelectric, neurochemical and nerometabolic changes are necessary for an RSME to take place. p290-292
If a therapist doesn't dive down to meet the Wild Man or Wild Woman, he or she will try to heal with words. The healing energy stored in waterfalls, trees, clay, horses, dogs, porcupines, llamas, otters belong to the domain of the Wild People. Therapists will have understood this when they insist on doing therapy with a cow in the room.
That attention to what is below encourages us to follow our own desires, which we know are not restricted to sexual desire, but include desires for the infinite, for the Woman at the Edge of the World, for the Firebird, for the treasure at the bottom of the sea, desires entirely superfluous. James Hillman praises this paragraph by William James as great words about desire:
"Man's chief difference from the brutes lies in the exuberant excess of his subjective propensities. His preeminence over them lies simply and solely in the number and in the fantastic and unnecessary character of his wants, physical, moral, aesthetic and intellectual. Had his whole life not been a quest for the superfluous, he would never have established himself so inexpungeably in the necessary. And from the consciousness of this, he should draw the lesson that his wants are to be trusted, that even when their gratification seems furthest off, the uneasiness they occasion is still the best guide of his life, and will lead him to issues entirely beyond his present powers of reckoning. Prune down his extravagances, sober him, and you undo him."
What is a scar? The native Americans have a magnificent tradition about scars, which Lame Deer alludes to briefly in his autobiography. I have heard the tradition said this way: "When you die, you meet the Old Hag, and she eats your scars. If you have no scars, she will eat your eyeballs, and you will be blind in the next world." That story moves awfully fast but it certainly defends the value of scars.
When we look in the mirror, someone looks back questioning, serious, alert, and without intent to comfort; and we feel more depth in the eyes looking at us than we ordinarily sense in our own eyes as we stare out at the world. How strange! Who could it be that is looking at us? We conclude that it is another part of us, the half that we don't allow to pass out of our eyes when we glance at others-and the darker and more serious half looks back at us only at rare times.
