Dr. Brian L. Weiss Quotes
"If you can leave a relationship with love, empathy, and compassion, without any thoughts of revenge, hatred, or fear, that is how you let go. You can choose to no longer have a relationship with that person or persons." ~Brian L. Weiss
“Inner peace is impossible without patience. Wisdom requires patience. Spiritual growth implies the mastery of patience. Patience allows the unfolding of destiny to proceed at its won unhurried pace.” ~Brian L. Weiss from My Renewed Mind
"Meditation can open up possibilities for spiritual experiences, almost as if the subconscious mind is itself the gateway to the eternal dimension. This gateway is never wide open, and there usually aren’t any signs above it advising us where the road will lead at any given moment. Opening this gate isn’t merely a matter of finding a key or saying some magic word—it’s more like the idea that guided the ancient alchemists: the process of transforming and being transformed. Another way of looking at it is to say that the mind becomes a passage, and the person meditating turns into an individual who’s able to recognize the passage and move through it into deeper, more transcendent states." ~Dr. Brian Weiss
"Our bodies and our minds are the masks our real self - our soul - wears in the physical world." ~Brian L. Weiss, MD
"People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing." ~Dr. Brian Weiss
"People do not need saving. People need love, support, and encouragement that they can withstand any trials and will always come out stronger, wiser, and more compassionate. I cannot shelter anyone from the storms of life, or they will never grow, learn, and expand." ~Brian L. Weiss
"The past is finished. Learn from it and let it go. As for the future, it isn't even here yet — of course you should plan for it, but don't waste your time worrying about it. Worrying is worthless. When you stop focusing on what has already happened and what may never happen, then you'll be in the present moment. Then you'll begin to experience joy in life." ~Dr. Brian Weiss
"The practice of meditation can, and should, be focused on the present. On the one hand, we silence the disturbing voices that bind us to the past. On the other, we must block the often frightening pictures that we ourselves create to represent our concerns about the future. Since our own fears create these pictures, they're neither comforting nor pleasant—and since there are
countless possible futures that we have available to us, these "pictures" may not necessarily manifest as the actual future. Many of our personal conflicts and tensions can be resolved when meditation allows us to concentrate fully on the present. This is how we develop the ability to focus on what's important, minimizing extraneous thoughts. The practice of meditation needs persistence and tenacity, as negative thoughts may return repeatedly, often through mere force of habit. The past is finished. Learn from it and let it go. As for the future, it isn't even here yet—of course you should plan for it, but don't waste your time worrying about it. Worrying is worthless. When you stop focusing on what has already happened and what may never happen, then you'll be in the present moment. Then you'll begin to experience joy in life." ~Dr. Brian Weiss

"Walk outside on a clear night and just look up into the sky. Take a moment to realise you are sitting on a plane spinning around in the middle of absolute nowhere. Sometimes, it takes a bit of perspective to remember what's really important. You are alive and you are here. You have the potential to be anything. So let go of what's holding you back and dream, believe, breathe." ~Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul

Adyashanti Quotes
"Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretence. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true." ~Adyashanti
"Gratitude is the appreciation of what is, of life, of existence, of anybody and anything, for just the way It Is." ~Adyashanti
"In Liberation, you stand alone. You stand alone because you need no supports of any kind. You need no supports because you have realized that the very notion of a separate you no longer exists; that there is nothing to support; that the whole ego experience was a flimsy illusion. So you stand alone but never, never lonely because everywhere you look, all you see is That, and You are That." ~Adyashanti
"Love is a flame that burns everything other than itself. It is destruction of all that is false and the fulfilment of all that is true." ~Adyashanti

"The more in harmony you are with the flow of your own existence, the more magical life becomes." ~Adyashanti

"We are that which dreams the whole world into existence." ~Adyashanti

J. D. Salinger Quotes
"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though." ~J. D. Salinger in The Catcher in the Rye, published July 16, 1951
“You're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them-if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.” ~J.D. Salinger, “The Catcher in the Rye”

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
Have you ever heard
the wonderful silence
just before the dawn?
Or the quiet and calm
just as a storm ends?
Or perhaps you know the silence
when you haven't the answer
to a question you've been asked,
or the hush of a country road at night,
or the expectant pause of a room full of people
when someone is just about to speak,
or, most beautiful of all,
the moment after the door closes
and you're alone in the whole house?
Each one is different, you know,
and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.
~Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
Have you ever heard
the wonderful silence
just before the dawn?
Or the quiet and calm
just as a storm ends?
Or perhaps you know the silence
when you haven't the answer
to a question you've been asked,
or the hush of a country road at night,
or the expectant pause of a room full of people
when someone is just about to speak,
or, most beautiful of all,
the moment after the door closes
and you're alone in the whole house?
Each one is different, you know,
and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.
~Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

"Silence is balm, friend and armored knight.
