Conversations With God

In every moment, in every event of your life, the Beloved is whispering to you exactly what you need to hear and know. Who can ever explain this miracle? It simply is. Listen and you will discover it every passing moment. Listen, and your whole life will become a conversation in thought and act between you and Him, directly, wordlessly, now and always.

Rumi

Blessing

John O’Donohue

This Intimate Secret

The truth
that You desire me,
that You long for me
in the heart of my heart
this intimate secret now I know.

Why You make me cry,
this intimate secret now I know.

In this act of light and shadow
why You play hide and seek
in the heart of my heart
this intimate secret now I know.

All day amidst myriads actions,
in infinite disguises
You keep beckoning me
why so - this intimate secret now I know.

After all the transactions are finished
where You navigate this last boat away
this intimate secret now I know.

The truth
that you desire me,
that You long for me
in the heart of my heart
this intimate secret now I know.

Rumi

Wildly Enthusiastic

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things...I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

Leo Buscaglia

Catalytic Moments

Higher vibrational energy doesn’t always feel good. When there is a substantial gap between our frequency and energy we encounter of a higher vibration, we may feel challenged - physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically. We can choose to see this as intensity without labeling it bad. We can allow ourselves to be nudged into more wholeness and open to a little stretching of our energy and the release that will transpire as a result of this willingness. We can allow ourselves to evolve.

Meredith Murphy

Your True Essence

Learn to get in touch with the innermost essence of your being. This true essence is beyond the ego. It is fearless; it is free; it is immune to criticism; it does not fear any challenge. It is beneath no one, superior to no one, and full of magic, mystery, and enchantment.

Deepak Chopra

Conscious Evolution 2

Conscious evolution inspires in us a mysterious and humble awareness that we have been created by this awesome process of evolution and are now being transformed by it.

Barbara Marx Hubbard

Communication Is Communion

True communication is communion - the realization of oneness, which is love.

Eckhart Tolle

Quantum Theory

Quantum theory indicates that there are no such things as separate parts in reality, but instead only intimately related phenomena so bound up with each other as to be inseparable.

Professor Henry Stapp

Never Knew

By day I praised you and never knew it.
By night I stayed with you and never knew it.
I always thought that I was me -- but no,
I was you and never knew it.

Rumi

Relinquish Three Things

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue.

Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.

Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up.

Deepak Chopra

Loving Eyes

In loving eyes there are no disguises or compromises; just boundless worlds filled with endless surprises.

Sri Gawn Tu Fahr

Impermanence

The Buddhas teaching points to the fact that all conditions are impermanent. By the word “condition” we mean a formation of the mind, such as a thought or opinion.

Men and women are conditions. Similarly, Jews and Gentiles, Buddhists and Christians, Asians and Europeans, Africans, the working class, the middle class, the upper class; all these are only formations that go through the mind. They aren’t absolutes. They are merely conventions that are useful for communication.

We must use these conventions, but we must also realize that they are only conventions - not absolutes. In this way, our minds are no longer fixed in our views or opinions. Views and opinions are seen simply as conditions that arise and case in the mind, because that’s what they really are.

All conditions are impermanent; they arise and cease.

Ajahn Sumedho

A Portion of the Soul

Love is a portion of the soul itself, and it is of the same nature as the celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise.

Victor Hugo

A Silent Perfect Pulse

At the heart of each of us, whatever our imperfections, there exists a silent pulse of perfect rhythm, which is absolutely individual and unique, and yet which connects us to everything else.

George Leonard

Love Removes the Mask

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

James A. Baldwin

You Are An Alchemist

In every one of your words, there is the power to transmute all kinds of emotions. These ones can elevate or not your vibration, and so the world around you. You are an alchemist. Everything is connected.

Ju’Light

The Boundary Line

A human being is NOT in search of money or comfort. A human being is in search of happiness and fulfillment. Because we have set material goals for this, we think if we get this much money or property or power, we will be. But the nature of human longing is such it does not matter how much you get, you want to go to the next step. Whoever you may be or wherever you may be, whatever your boundaries are right now, there is something within you that is longing to go to the next step. If you look at the human longing, you will very clearly see that actually a human being is aspiring to become boundless. Whatever the boundary, he wants to break that and go beyond that. Through physical means you are trying to achieve this. Our economic structure is coming to this fundamental flaw that through physical means you are trying to become boundless. But the very nature of physicality is that there is a defined boundary. You can call this a physical body only because there is a defined boundary...but now human beings are desiring to become boundless through physical means. It is a hopeless condition.

Sadhguru

Engage Within

To engage in the journey that takes us from living outside of ourselves to processing the world inside ourselves means bringing light to our shadow. Your shadow aspects are primarily rooted in fear patterns that have more control over your behavior than does your conscious mind.

Caroline Myss

The Attitude of Silence

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.

Gandhi

Your Song

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Lou Holtz

Between Souls

There are no accidental meetings between souls.

Sheila Burke

Enter the Stillness

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It’s a way of entering into the quiet that’s already there buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.

Deepak Chopra

The Exploration

We shall not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started
and to know the place for the first time.

T.S. Eliot

A Closed Heart

The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.

Deepak Chopra
