Quotes on LIGHT


"The path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day." ~The Bible

THE LIGHT OF GOD

Beyond our power to explain or know,
There is a spark that kindles an inward glow
And turns it outward as a signal fire,
Beaming the farther as it reaches higher.

We need only crack the dark soul's lantern door
And the spark will leap to life at its very core,
Filling the vessel with a blaze of light
And sending a beacon deep into the night.

Lord God, I open my lantern, dark and still.
Kindle my soul with the quick spark of your will.
Let love be my fuel and your truth the flame
That shines out of me to glorify your name."
~Barbara Kunz Loots

"Life is always a polarity. If there were no darkness there would be no light. If there were no trouble there could never be any peace. If the sun always shone you would not appreciate it. You have to learn sometimes through conditions that seem a nuisance. One day you will look back and say, "We learned our best lessons not when the sun was shining, but when the storm was at its greatest, when the thunder roared, the lightning flashed, the clouds obscured the sun and all seemed dark and hopeless".

“We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in.” ~Ernest Hemingway

"We are all broken to some degree. That's the price of being human. At some point in our life we will face extreme pressure and feel fear, anxiety, loneliness, distress, or so many other painful or negative emotions. We are fragile earthen jars. We break. But when we do, it can also be our finest moment. That’s because we can be put back together again the way we were meant to be. The most beautiful people have, at some point in their lives, experienced brokenness. But they haven’t remained in that state. They have learned to let go of the inner struggle and the things they have no control over, and turned to a higher power. It’s in a state of soul surrender, letting-go and letting-God, that the light comes streaming through the cracks and inner healing takes place." ~Daniel Nielsen

LIGHT

by Raed Braun

Look for/at the invisible lights!

It’s a spectrum for the heart.

Where and how do you paint your Journey?
Find the most beautiful colour:

Your life: the best masterpiece you can draw!
Seek to find the light.

It only brightens when it is dark enough.

PATH OF LIGHT

Call upon forgiveness to release your precious soul;
Forgiving allows for living; it makes the Universe whole.
Grace will light your way; there’s only one path that’s true;
It’s the one that leads to love, the one with the heavenly views.

You may have shared your heart; you may have some regrets;
But the greatest plan for your soul hasn’t even happened yet.
Stay true to who you are; don’t give up on life’s fight.
It will all be worth it in the end; keep walking the path of light.
~Robert Clancy

"When you have come to the edge
Of all light that you know
And are about to drop off into the darkness
Of the unknown,
Faith is knowing
One of two things will happen:
There will be something solid to stand on or
You will be taught to fly”
~Patrick Overton

"Without the light of the sun, nothing can be seen.
Light is the greatest sculptor.
It reveals the forms of all things.
Salutations to the sun.
Without the light of consciousness, neither the sun,
nor its light nor anything else can be seen.
Salutations to consciousness.
Without you, where is the world?
Without you, what would perceive the play of existence?
In satsang, you are introduced again and again
to consciousness, which is your own light.
You come to the recognition that consciousness itself
is the source of all manifestation
and that without it, nothing can be perceived to exist.
You are both consciousness and simultaneously
the perceiver of consciousness. Are you aware of this?
Without you, the perceiver of consciousness,
neither consciousness nor its content exist.
The universe is… because you are."
~ Mooji

"You come like sunlight through a window
to the hallway of my heart.
Grace is illuminating places
that have only known the dark.
I've never been so blessed
to have met someone.
I never would have guessed
that you'd come for me -
I'd lost all faith in the Mystery,
in the handiwork of God."

Anyway... Make your home a creative place of love." ~Soul Alchemy

Thought for Today - Forgiveness Will Bring Me Closer To Others

"Why is it hard to forgive others? Usually because we believe that they are 90% to blame for the problem, that I am not as bad as they are. So I start to carry the load of other people's actions. If my ego is too hurt, I will have the sense of correction, of justice: 'I know I am right', 'That is not fair'. But if I start to forgive from the heart, sincerely, then this kind of feeling and attitude begins to dissolve. I remain humble and this forgiveness will bring me closer to others. Then I do not carry regrets or anger, I just let go and remain light." ~Thought for Today-UK

"I am a part of all that I have met." ~Alfred Lord Tennyson

“I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for those tiny, invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of [a person's] pride.” ~William James

"I choose not to feel guilty for any bad choices or decisions made in the past. I choose to see myself though eyes of compassion and forgiveness. I give myself permission to forgive myself. How liberating is that! Why? First, I don't see how dwelling on negative feelings can heal or teach me anything. Second, looking back at my life and assessing some of the situations, I can honestly say I did the best I could with what I had under the circumstances. Third, I have chosen to accept all aspects of myself, my strenghts as well as my weaknesses, and forgiving myself for past choices is the first step in healing and living a life free of regrets and resentments. I deserve happiness, harmony, and peace and these cannot be achieved by carrying around an overabundance of negativity shaped as GUILT." ~Anon

"I think a lot of people don’t understand what real romance is. Anyone can buy flowers, candy and jewelry. The truly romantic things in life are those little things you do every day to show you care, and that you’re thinking of them. It’s going out of your way to make them happy. The way you hold her hand when you know she’s scared, or you save the last piece of cake for him. The random text or call in the middle of the day, just to say “I love you” or “I miss you”. The way he stops to kiss you when he passes by. It’s dedicating her favorite song to her, and letting her eat your fries; telling her she’s beautiful. It’s putting your favorite show on pause so she can tell you about her day, and laughing at his jokes, even the really lame ones. It’s slow dancing in the kitchen and kissing in the rain. Romance isn’t about buying, it’s about giving. True romance is in gestures." ~Anon

"I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first time we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings..." ~Paulo Coelho

Charlotte Bronte Quotes


"As to the sufferers, whose sole inheritance was labor, and who had lost that inheritance; who could not get work, and consequently could not get wages, and consequently could not get bread; they were left to suffer on, perhaps inevitably left." ~Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)

"Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us." ~Charlotte Bronte

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will." ~Charlotte Bronte

"I ask you to pass through life at my side – to be my second self, and best earthly companion." ~Charlotte Bronte

"I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do. I need not sell my soul to buy bliss. I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all extraneous delights should be withheld, or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give." ~Charlotte Brontë ( Jane Eyre )

"I have for the first time found what I can truly love. I have found you." ~Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre)

"If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust; the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should — so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again." ~Charlotte Bonte, from JANE EYRE (1847)

"If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship we must love friends for their sake rather than our own." ~Charlotte Bronte

"Look twice before you leap." ~Charlotte Bronte 

"Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among stones." ~Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre)

"Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last." ~Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)

"Silence is of different kinds, and breathes different meanings." ~Charlotte Bronte

"There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort." ~Charlotte Brontë

“We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night-sky, where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His infinitude, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.” ~Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

"You had no right to be born; for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength." ~Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855)

"A day of worry is more exhausting than a day of work." ~John Lubbock

"Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books." ~John Lubbock

“Our great mistake in education is, as it seems to me, the worship of book-learning–the confusion of instruction and education. We strain the memory instead of cultivating the mind. The children in our elementary schools are wearied by the mechanical act of writing, and the interminable intricacies of spelling; they are oppressed by columns of dates, by lists of kings and places, which convey no definite idea to their minds, and have no near relation to their daily wants and occupations; while in our public schools the same unfortunate results are produced by the weary monotony of Latin and Greek grammar. We ought to follow exactly the opposite course with children–to give them a wholesome variety of mental food, and endeavor to cultivate their tastes, rather than to fill their minds with dry facts. The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. What does it matter if the pupil know a little more or a little less? A boy who leaves school knowing much, but hating his lessons, will soon have forgotten almost all he ever learned; while another who had acquired a thirst for knowledge, even if he had learned little, would soon teach himself more than the first ever knew.” ~John Lubbock, The Pleasures of Life

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." ~John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

"We may sit in our library and yet be in all quarters of the earth." John Lubbock

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for" ~John Lubbock

There are only a few people in this world who will stay completely true to you, and YOU should be one of them. Listen to your own voice, your own soul, too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves. Deep inside, you know what you want, let no one decide that for you." ~Anon
