Quotes


Quotes I have written and collected in my daily planner, the Ecological Calendar, so far this year..

"When you try it doesn't look good, but when you don't try, it's perfect"

"The force is already setting things up, if you need to do something it will tell you, wait in uncertainty until the choice becomes clear." (Calm-perfect, or urgency? Still seeking this balance..in effortless effort..)

"A lot of it is unnecessary, be realistic, no assumptions, no pretending, a person of truth."

"Meditate daily on how I will change the world."

"Smile and laugh more."

"Inner confidence and strength
Don't worry
Don't fight the forces, use them
Spiritually resonate
Interconnectedness of all things
Keep it simple
Discipline and self control"

Above quotes from one of my spiritual advisors.

"What is doing, thinking, motion, action, awareness, movement, connection, soul, spirituality? Acceptance of the state of complete and utter confusion or the state of empty mind, knowldgeless leads to all knowledge. Is there a possible balance between the two extremes. Am I completely lost, or not lost at all? When you look at reality realistically, you see the truth, and there is nothing else. Everything else is just manifestations of the truth that somehow are here and this is it, this is what life is, or is it. How could it be different? Present moment awareness." -me

"Real justice is for God to help us through his grace to rectify that which truly wronged us. And what is that? Our estrangement from our divine nature. At that point, when we have returned to our divine nature, justice will be experienced and function not as commonly understood but as total, absolute, and unconditional divine love."

"The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook."

"You can't be everything you want to be before your time."

"Every teacher tells us how important it is to control your mind. Something powerful happens when we lock our minds on an idea."
