WHAT I’M WILLING TO DO, WHICH THE MAINSTREAM CHURCH IS NOT, IS TO DENOUNCE THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT AS CHRISTIAN HERETICS. YOU don’t have to, as I did, spend three years at Harvard Divinity School to realize that Jesus didn’t come to make us rich. And he certainly didn’t come to make Pat Robertson and Joel Ostend rich. And what they have done is acculturate the worst aspects of American imperialism, capitalism, chauvinism, violence and bigotry into the Christian religion. CHRIS HEDGES
MAN IS THE MOST INSANE SPECIES. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible nature. Unaware that this nature he’s destroying is this god he’s worshipping. HUBERT REEVES
THE LONGER I LIVE, the more convinced am I that this planet is used by other planets as lunatic asylum. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
AN EVIL MAN will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. SUN TZU
IF WE HAVE NO PEACE, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. MOTHER TERESA

GO OUT & MEET A CHALLENGE YOU DON’T THINK YOU CAN DO.
SMILE, SMILE, SMILE at your mind as often s possible. Your smiling will considerably reduce your mind’s tearing tension.
BE SINCERE in your thoughts. Be pure in your feelings. You will not have to run after happiness. Happiness will run after you.
JUDGE NOTHING, you will be happy. forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest.
HOPE is not mere wishful thinking. It is the precursor of a new dawn that slowly, steadily and unerringly comes to the fore and eventually grows into reality’s existence.
PEACE BEGINS WHEN EXPECTATION ENDS.
GRATITUDE is the sweetest thing in a seeker’s life — in all human life. If there is gratitude in your heart, then there will be tremendous sweetness in your eyes.
SILENCE is not silent. Silence speaks. It speaks most eloquently. Silence is not still. Silence leads. It leads most perfectly.
YOUR HEART must become a sea of love. Your mind must become a river of detachment.
THE DIFFICULTY is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourselves.
IF you depend on God’s grace there is no such thing as impossible.
FRIENDSHIP must never be buried under the weight of misunderstanding.
PEACE is something that we become. Once we become peace, then only can we give peace to the world and receive peace from the world.
IF I really want inner peace in my life, then I must not busy myself with what other people do and say.
AN unaspiring person believes according to what he achieves. An aspiring person achieves according to what he believes.
THE PROBLEM with fault-finding is that he who finds fault with others is in no way a happy person. Even after he has successfully accomplished his task.
HOPE IS SWEET. HOPE is illuminating. Hope is fulfilling. Hope can be everlasting. Therefore, do not give up hope, even in the sunset of your life.
LET US NOT WORRY about the future. Let us only do the right thing today. At this moment, here and now. Let the future take care of itself.
REAL JOY MEANS IMMEDIATE EXPANSION. If we experience pure joy, immediately our heart expands. We feel that we are flying in the divine freedom-sky. The entire length and breadth of the world becomes ours, not for us to rule over, but as an expansion of our consciousness. We become reality and vastness.
YOUR SOUL HAS A SPECIAL MISSION. Your soul is supremely conscious of it. Maya, illusion or forgetfulness, makes you feel that you are finite, weak and helpless. This is not true. You are not the body. You are not the senses. You are not the mind. These are all limited. You are the soul, which is unlimited. Your soul is infinitely powerful. your soul defies all time and space.
THE INNER LIGHT ACTUALLY COMES FROM THE SOUL; it is already inside us. The moment we can have free access to our soul, we will see that this light is coming to the fore to permeate our who outer existence.
MIGUEL ANGEL RUIZ. 1952————“THE FOUR AGREEMENTS”
THE FOUR AGREEMENTS 1. BE impeccable with your word. 2. Don’t take anything personally. 3. Don’t make assumptions. 4. Always do your best.
UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS is the experience of the 8 billion plus people on the planet being moved by the same force, which is God. It is the awareness to see what we really are: this is a truth that really can’t be explained with words; the minute you say it, it is no longer truth.
JUST IMAGINE becoming the way you used to be as very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.
WE SEARCH for everything we believe we don’t have, not knowing that everything we are looking for is already inside us. We are born with it.
CESAR MILLAN 1969—————-DOG TRAINER
HUMANS ARE THE ONLY ANIMALS WHO WILL FOLLOW UNSTABLE PACK LEADERS.
TO ME DOGS ARE NOT THE SGTUDENTS, not the ones that need training. To me a dog is a teacher of life, who teaches us the principles of the most important moral values; honesty, integrity, loyalty, trust, respect and love.
YOU DON’T always get the dog you want, but you get the dog that you need.
GEORG WILHELM FRIEDRICH HEGEL 1770-1831 PHILOSOPHER
NOTHING great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
TO BE AWARE OF LIMITATIONS IS ALREADY TO BE BEYOND THEM.
TRUTH is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two.
TO BE INDEPENDENT of public opinion is the first formal condition of achieving anything great.
WE LEARN FROM HISTORY THAT WE DO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY.
GENUINE TRAGEDIES in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.
I HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE MISTAKEN.
JOHANN GEORG HAMANN 1730-1788. “The Wizard of the North”.
REASON IS LANGUAGE.
OUR REASON ARISES, at the very least, from this twofold lesson of sensuous revelations and human testimonies.
NOT ONLY the entire ability to think rests on language , , , but language is also the crux of the misunderstanding of reason with itself.
EVERYTHING IS VAIN and torures the spirit instead of calming and satisfying it.
POETRY IS THE MOTHER-TONGUE OF THE HUMAN RACE.
A THIRSTY AMBITION for truth and virtue, and a frenzy to conquer all lies and vices which are not recognized as such nor desire to be; herein consists the heroic spirit of the philosopher.
FEW AUTHORS UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES, and a proper reader must not only understand his author but also be able to see beyond him.
EVERYTHING the human being heard from the beginning, saw with its eyes, looked upon and touched with its hands was a living word; for God was the word.
DON’T THINK; INTUIT
