Spirituality Quotes - Page 58

We have entered the Age of Light. The ages of steam and coal are long gone. With oil clinging to power, light is emerging as our deus ex machine. Light goes where nothing else can, gets there faster than anything else could, and brings back the images. If there are limits to light, other than its cosmic speed limit, we have not tested them. If there is a final answer to the question "What is light?" we have not found it.

Let us not project our own spiritual limitations onto the modern world, for it is not the world which prevents us from being religious. The kind of world we live in shapes the manner and mode of our religiousness

Religions began as realization of the self, but ended up being retaliation against each other.

If history has shown anything, it is that where there is a God, there is an institution trying to lock up that God in its lifeless structure of orthodoxy, in order to have authority over people and sell tickets to the Kingdom of that God. Thus emerged all the pompous lies about the extraterrestrial Kingdom of God or Heaven.

We don't have the luxury to say that, there is no hope for reform in Islam, because by saying this, we would be disavowing the entire peace-loving Muslim population of the world. We cannot leave our Muslim sisters and brothers behind to be oppressed by their own priestly tyrants, while the rest of the world keeps progressing with an open mind. The entire civilized society of the world, must put their heart and soul to get Islam liberated from the shackles of fundamentalism. Conscience must triumph over orthodox barbarianism, otherwise there would be no hope for the progress and wellbeing of humanity as a truly wise species.

W might 'conquer' nature if we could first, or at the same time, conquer our own nature, though we do not see that human nature and 'outside' nature are all of a piece.

Even if you are not aware of it, there are moments when you are receiving hints, a nudge, or support from the other side.

Focus on what God can do through you.

Alin Sav

So if you can look at all things without allowing pleasure to creep in - at a face, a bird, the colour of a sari, the beauty of a sheet of water shimmering in the sun, or anything that gives delight - if you can look at it without wanting the experience to be repeated, then there will be no pain, no fear, and therefore tremendous joy. It is the struggle to repeat and perpetuate pleasure which turns it into pain. Watch it in yourself. The very demand for the repetition of pleasure brings about pain, because it is not the same, as it was yesterday. You struggle to achieve the same delight, not only to your aesthetic sense but the same inward quality of the mind, and you are hurt and disappointed because it is denied to you.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

So if you understand that where there is a search for pleasure there must be pain, live that way if you want to, but don't just slip into it. If you want to end pleasure, though, which is to end pain, you must be totally attentive to the whole structure of pleasure - not cut it out as monks and sannyasis do, never looking at a woman because they think it is a sin and thereby destroying the vitality of their understanding - but seeing the whole meaning and significance of pleasure. Then you will have tremendous joy in life. You cannot think about joy. Joy is an immediate thing and by thinking about it, you turn it into pleasure. Living in the present is the instant perception of beauty and the great delight in it without seeking pleasure from it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Death is an illusion. It is the way to rebirth or ascension. It is the point when you realise that you are the spark of the one life, and that you always have and always will have that divinity within you. It is not something to fear.

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

You have to look inside, to pursuit spirituality.

The unceasing flow of thought in all its various forms is an inescapable and defining aspect of the human condition.

Surrendering: The act of giving yourself entirely to a new self, and then let go of your personal freedom for the achievement of something greater than you had before, a new you, a new self, envisioned and designed by yourself. Surrendering, to a God or to a Dream, or to both, is the ultimate act of designing your new future and then letting go the present reality to live that dream. It is, indeed, the creation of a virtual reality in which one will find himself present, after detaching from the previous reality, which will then become virtual by default. Because, as one cannot surrender without accepting, one cannot get without letting go. And so, when one surrenders entirely, he becomes entirely new.

Robin Sacredfire

Men are not gentle and graceful beings solely oriented towards good. They are physical, coarse, contradictory, stretched between desires and temptations. In an unnatural wish to make them sinless and infallible, we suddenly realize that we have obtained bloodless, sentimental and false personalities incapable of both good and evil. Separating them from mother Earth, we separate them from life, and where is no life, there is no virtue either.

Alija Izetbegović

The word “inevitable” is fearful to the ego, but joyous to the spirit. God is inevitable, and you cannot avoid Him any more than He can avoid you.

Foundation for Inner Peace

Love as much as you can from wherever you are.

Marianne Williamson

T-4.II.5. Undermining the ego’s thought system must be perceived as painful, even though this is anything but true. Babies scream in rage if you take away a knife or scissors, although they may well harm themselves if you do not. In this sense you are still a baby. You have no sense of real selfpreservation, and are likely to decide that you need precisely what would hurt you most.

Foundation for Inner Peace

T-4.II.4. Think of the love of animals for their offspring, and the need they feel to protect them. That is because they regard them as part of themselves. No one dismisses something he considers part of himself. You react to your ego much as God does to His creations,–with love, protection and charity. Your reactions to the self you made are not surprising. In fact, they resemble in many ways how you will one day react to your real creations, which are as timeless as you are. The question is not how you respond to the ego, but what you believe you are. Belief is an ego function, and as long as your origin is open to belief you are regarding it from an ego viewpoint. When teaching is no longer necessary you will merely know God. Belief that there is another way of perceiving is the loftiest idea of which ego thinking is capable. That is because it contains a hint of recognition that the ego is not the Self.

Foundation for Inner Peace

Protect your mind everyday.

Alin Sav

Faith makes things work out.

Alin Sav

T-4.II.6. Only those who have a real and lastingsense of abundance can be truly charitable. This isobvious when you consider what is involved. Tothe ego, to give anything implies that you willhave to do without it. When you associate givingwith sacrifice, you give only because you believethat you are somehow getting something better,and can therefore do without the thing you give.“Giving to get” is an inescapable law of the ego, which always evaluates itself in relation to other egos. It is therefore continually preoccupied with the belief in scarcity that gave rise to it. Its whole perception of other egos as real is only an attempt to convince itself that it is real. “Self-esteem” in ego terms means nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself into accepting its reality, and is therefore temporarily less predatory. This “self-esteem” is always vulnerable to stress, a term which refers to any perceived threat to the ego’s existence.

Jesus is not just "faith", it´s a true reality, but we just don´t get it.

Preaching the Gospel in a brutal way is like telling your wife that you love her while she gets a punch right in her face.

Alin Sav

Pure people pray powerful.

Alin Sav

If you see this guy drowning, do not stop him, it might be Peter trying to walk on water reaching Christ.

Alin Sav

If you want to know how to swim, you take lessons. If you want to walk on water, lessons won´t help you, just faith.

Alin Sav

Revelation ends when prayer ends.

Alin Sav

Every honest prayer is saved in God´s cloud.

Alin Sav

The Gospel is about what Jesus did, not what we have to do.

Alin Sav

Make your prayer life great again.

Alin Sav

People who speak less, they usually pray a lot. I think that a great nation is a nation of prayer.

Alin Sav

Sometimes the church isn´t the place where we meet Jesus, it´s the place where we hide ourselves from the world.

Alin Sav

Too much church and too less Jesus is dangerous, it can transform you into a religious person.

Alin Sav

If we would spend as much time with the world as we spend going to church, the church would grow.

Alin Sav

Jesus came to earth to change our destination for all who believe.

Alin Sav

I believe religion is not a path to God, it´s a path away from God. Religion is a human invention. Jesus never wanted to be found in a religion, but in a relationship.

Alin Sav

The best day to pray is everyday.

Alin Sav

Be as humble as you need to convince people that you are not Jesus.

Alin Sav

You can´t gossip about somebody you prayed for. (sb on your prayer list)

Alin Sav

Pray the prayer nobody dares to pray. "as in heaven, so on earth".

Alin Sav

God didn't create us to be average.

Alin Sav

We all create our own reality

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

Fear is all in the mind

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

I am the soul…but is that true?’ she asked herself aloud. ‘What am I actually? I am not the soul, I am beyond the soul and yet I am nothing. I am an empty shell of living cells, where an essence that I’ve learned to recognise as me inhabits.

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

I have a body, an emotional body and a mental body, but I am none of these. I am nothing and everything. I am an indivisible particle of oneness that can no longer be categorised

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

Everything is in constant mutation, expanding and contracting. All we hear, see or think is a projection of our own…or someone else’s brain. We create our own realities. My reality is different from everyone else’s…and theirs is different to mine and to each other. We only perceive what we can sense, see, feel…believe and imagine. Knowledge is mostly borrowed. The world is set up that way…books, people, internet, movies, television, radio.

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

While we’ve been grabbing for things to give meaning to life, we have lost our way. We grow addicted to reference points. We grow afraid and lose our unfettered curiosity. Our wants, needs, desires, ideas, aspirations and beliefs, become so embedded that it is like they are glued to our cells, our nerves, our eyes, brain, heart…our whole body.

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

Even this…even in my meditation I am preconditioned to feel or experience something predetermined. If we could all just allow ourselves to expand…stop allowing fear to hinder us and expand beyond limits…then, in the end, we will know that we are nothing, and nothing is all there is…nothing is everything.

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

Who are you? That is what you need to remember.

This is closer to reality, but not exactly so. In the Earth incarnation we have lost sight of whom and what we are. We have got so entangled in the game that we have forgotten where we came from and have started associating our sense of self with the personality. In humanity we have become defined by our physical selves, our bodies, our minds, our emotions. We think we are our thoughts. We do not remember…we do not remember that from the oneness we created this planet and the planes. We are the creators, and our mission is to detach from all the chains we imposed upon ourselves and create a bridge to the infinite self. Journey back to where we started.

...because you have been purifying your fields for many incarnations so you no longer belong in the heavy density of the third dimension and you find it difficult to tolerate. But you have one last mission here and you are on the verge of knowing…follow your heart and your instincts.

Ana Rangel & Gerry O'malley

It is only the innocent mind which knows what love is, and the innocent mind can live in the world which is not innocent.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Nowadays, the concept of love is greatly trampled because there is too much permissibility.

Efrat Cybulkiewicz
