"DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FLIGHT OF YOUR SOUL; DON NOT DISTRESS WHAT IS BEST IN YOU; DO NOT ENFEEBLE YOUR SPIRIT WITH HALF WISHES & HALF THOUGHTS. ASK YOUR SELF AND KEEP ON ASKING UNTIL YOU FIND THE ANSWER, FOR ONE MAY HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING MANY TIMES, ACKNOWLEDGED IT; ONE MAY HAVE WILLED SOMETHING MANY TIMES, ATTEMPTED IT - AND YET, ONLY THE DEEP INNER EMOTION, ONLY THE HEART'S INDESCRIBABLE EMOTION, ONLY THAT WILL CONVINCE YOU THAT WHAT YOU HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED BELONGS TO YOU, THAT NO POWER CAN TAKE IT FROM YOU - FOR ONLY THE TRUTH THAT BUILDS UP IS TRUTH FOR YOU"
SOREN AABYE KIERKEGAARD (1813 - 1855)THE ROAD TO SUCCES IS NOT STRAIGHT
THERE IS A CURVE CALLED FAILURE
A LOOP CALLED CONFUSION
SPEED BUMBS CALLED FRIENDS
AND RED LIGHTS CALLED ENEMIES
CAUTION SIGNS CALLED FAMILY
AND FLAT TIRES CALLED JOBS
BUT IF YOU HAVE A SPARE CALLED DETERMINATION
AND AN ENGINE CALLED PERSEVERANCE
WITH INSURANCE CALLED FAITH
AND THE DRIVE TO MAKE IT
YOU'LL REACH A PLACE CALLED SUCCESS (CAN YOU HEAR ME?)
- BABY CHAM (RUDEBOY PLEDGE)
KNOW THAT OF ALL, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS EXCEPTING THE GROWTH WE CAN GAIN WITH OUR SOUL. KNOW WE THE FLESH IS FLEETING. THE THINGS MEN COUNT GREAT ARE NOTHING TO US. THE THINGS WE SEEK ARE NOT OF THE BODY BUT ARE ONLY THE PERFECTED STATE OF THE SOUL. WHEN YE AS MEN CAN LEARN THAT NOTHING BUT PROGRESS OF THE SOUL CAN COUNT IN THE END, THEN TRULY YE ARE FREE FROM ALL BONDAGE, FREE TO WORK IN A HARMONY OF LAW. - MASTER # 9 NINE

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU

A VACATIONING BUSINESS MAN WAS WALKING ALONG A BEACH WHEN HE SAW A YOUNG BOY.
ALONG THE SHORE WERE MANY STARFISH THAT HAD BEEN WASHED UP BY THE TIDE AND WERE SURE TO DIE BEFORE THE TIDE RETURNED. THE BOY WAS WALKED SLOWLY ALONG THE SHORE AND OCCASIONALLY REACHED DOWN AND TOSSED THE STARFISH INTO THE OCEAN.
THE BUSINESS MAN, HOPING TO TEACH THE BOY A LITTLE LESSON IN COMMON SENSE, WALKED UP TO THE BOY AND SAID, "I HAVE BEEN WATCHING WHAT YOU ARE DOING, SON. YOU HAVE A GOOD HEART, AND I KNOW YOU MEAN WELL, BUT DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY BEACHES THERE ARE AROUND HERE AND HOW MANY STARFISH ARE DYING ON EVERY BEACH EVERY DAY. SURELY SUCH AND INDUSTRIOUS AND KIND HEARTED BOY SUCH AS YOURSELF COULD FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME.
DO YOU REALY THINK THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?"

THOUGHTS FOR THE SOUL
HEART

TRUE CREATIVITY QUITE SIMPLY STARTS WITH BALANCING YOUR EMOTIONS AND ACTIVATING THE POWER OF THE HEART, YOU TAP INTO THE HIGHEST FORM OF CREATIVITY POSSIBLE-RECREATING YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF REALITY- DOC CHILDRE

PRESENCE IS A RARE QUALITY IN A WORLD OF 20-SECOND SOIND BITES, NONSTOP STIMULATION, AND KNAWING ANXIETY. WHAT UNDERLIES PRESENCE? CLEARLY, IT IS NOT INTELLECTUAL PROWESS OR MENSA WOULD RULE THE WORLD. MORE THAN ONCE WE ALL HAVE BEEN BORED TO TEARS BY THE INTELLECTUAL ALOOFNESS OF SOMEONE DISCONNECTED FROM EVERYDAY REALITY, ADRIFT IN A CONCEPTUAL UNIVERSE OF HIS OR HER OWN CREATION....WOULD PRESENCE BE HEART-GENERATED COHERENCE IN THE WORLD OF PERSONAL MAGNETICS? PEOPLE WITH PRESENCE HAVE AN INEFFABLE QUALITY ABOUT THEM; THEY ARE "PRESENT", SURPRINSINGLY ATTENTIVE, AND UNDISTRACTED. A FULLNESS, A CENTEREDNESS, A WHOLENESS RADIATES FROM THEM. WE ENJOY BEING "IN THEIR PRESENCE". YOU CAN BUILD PRESENCE. IT IS THE NATURAL RADIANCE OF THE HEART SECURITY~~~~DOC CHILDRE AND BRUCE CRYER, FROM CHAOS TO COHERENCE.

IF YOU BEGIN YOUR DAY WITH LOVE IN YOUR HEART, PEACE IN YOUR NERVES, AND TRUTH IN YOUR MIND, YOU NOT ONLY BENEFIT BY THEIR PRESENCE BUT ALSO BRING THEM TO OTHERS, TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND ALL OF THOSE WHOSE DESTINY DRAWS ACROSS YOUR PATH THAT DAY.

CONSCIOUSNESS

THE COLLECTIVET ENERGY GENERATED FROM THE FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, AND ATTITUDES OF THE ALMOST SIX BILLION PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE, OR "CONSCIOUSNESS CLIMATE". WHEN EVENTS SUCH AS TERRORIST BOMBINGS THAT KILLS HUNDREDS, PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE AFFECTED. THEY FEEL THE TENSION WAVE OF THOSE UNSTABLE SITUATIONS EVEN THOUGHT THEY'RE NOT DIRECTLY IMPACTED.

AS STRESS WAVES ARE GENERATED, OUR EMOTIONS PICK UP THIS INCOHERENT ENERGY. EVEN AFTER THE WAVE PASSES THROUGH, THE EMOTIONAL AFTEREFFECTS KEEP REVERBERATING. IF YOU EVER LIVED THROUGH AN EARTHQUAKE AND ITS AFTER SHOCKS, YOU MAY HAVE FELT STATIC ENERGY REVERBERATING IN YOUR BODY FOR DAYS. STRONG WAVES OF EMOTIONAL STRESS CAN AFFECT THE WHOLE WORLD IN A SIMILAR WAY. WHEN EVENTS TAKE PLACE THAT CAUSE MASSIVE FEAR AND ANXIETY, WE ALL EXPERIENCE THE STRESS AT SOME LEVEL. AT THE LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

ONGOING STRESS CREATES AN ENERGETIC ENVIROMENT,
AFFECTING TOWN AND COUNTRY, SPREADING FROM NATION TO NATION, CAUSING DISHARMONY, DISEASE, STORMS AND WARS. THE HEART'S INTELLIGENCE CAN HELP TO DISSIPATE THESE NEGATIVE ENERGIES, GIVING PEOPLE A FRESH START IN LEARNING HOW TO GET ALONG. AS ENOUGH PEOPLE LEARN EMOTIONAL FITNESS, IT WILL CAUSE A GLOBAL SHIFT INTO NEW CONSCIOUSNESS THAT MANY ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND THEN QUALITY OF LIFE HAS A CHANCE OF BECOMING BETTER FOR THE WHOLE.~~DOC CHILDRE

ALBERT EINSTEIN, QUOTED IN H EVES MATHEMATICAL CIRCLES ADIEU (BOSTON 1977)
"A HUMAN BEING IS A PART OF THE WHOLE, CALLED BY US "UNIVERSE", A PART LIMITED IN TIME AND SPACE. HE EXPERIENCES HIMSELF, HIS THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS AS SOMETHING SEPARATED FROM THE REST- A KIND OF OPTICAL DELUSION OF HIS CONSCIOUSNESS. THIS DELUSION IS A KIND OF PRISON FOR US, RESTRICTING US TO OUR PERSONAL DESIRES AND TO AFFECTION FOR A FEW PERSONS NEAREST TO US. OUR TASK MUST BE TO FREE OURSELVES FROM THIS PRISON BY WIDENING OUR CIRCLE OF COMPASSION TO EMBRACE ALL LIVING CREATURES AND THE WHOLE OF NATURE IN ITS BEAUTY. NOBODY IS ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS COMPLETELY, BUT THE STRIVING FOR SUCH ACHIEVMENT IS IN ITSELF A PART OF THE LIBERATION AND A FOUNDATION FRO INNER SECURITY.

ALBERT EINTEIN (1875-1955),GERMAN-BORN AMERICAN THEORETICAL PHYSICIST, THEORIES OF RELATIVITY, PHILOSOPHER
"HE WHO JOYFULLY MARCHES TO MUSIC IN RANK AND FILE HAS ALREADY EARNED MY CONTEMPT. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN A LARGE BRAIN BY MISTAKE, SINCE FOR HIM THE SPINAL CORD WOULD FULLY SUFFICE.

THIS DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION SHOULD BE DONE AWAY WITH AT ONCE. HEROISM AT COMMAND, SENSELESS BRUTALITY, AND ALL THE LOATHSOME NONSENSE THAT GOES BY THE NAME OF PATRIOTISM, HOW VIOLENTLY I HATE ALL THIS, HOW DESPICABLE AND IGNOBLE WAR IS; I WOULD RATHER BE TORN TO SHREDS THAT BE PART OF SO BASE AN ACTION! IT IS MY CONVICTION THAT KILLING UNDER THE CLOAK OF WAR IS NOTHING BUT AN ACT OF MURDER".

"THE CULMINATION OF THE SOUL'S JOURNEY OF AWAKENING IS NOT JUST RETURNING TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE. INSTEAD, ITS IS HOW THE SOUL HAS EVOLVED THROUGH ITS PASSAGE ON EARTH...AND THE UNIQUE WAY EACH SOUL'S UNFOLDMENT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF." ---PIR VILAYAT INAYAT KHAN
THE LAW UNDER WHICH WE LIVE
FROM: CHARLES F. HAANEL
THE LAWS UNDER WHICH WE LIVE ARE DESIGNED SOLELY FOR OUR ADVANTAGE. THESE LAWS ARE IMMUTABLE AND WE CANNOT ESCAPE FROM THEIR OPERATION.
ALL THE GREAT ETERNAL FORCES ACT IN SOLEM SILENCE, BUT IT IS IN OUR POWER TO PLACE OURSELVES IN HARMONY WITH THEM AND THUS EXPRESS A LIFE OF COMPARATIVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS.
DIFFICULTIES, INHARMONIES,AND OBSTACLES INDICATE THAT WE ARE EITHER REFUSING TO GIVE OUT WHAT WE NO LONGER NEED OR REFUSING TO ACCEPT WHAT WE REQUIRE.
GROWTH IS ATTAINED THROUGH AN EXCHANGE OF THE OLD FOR THE NEW, OF THE GOOD FOR THE BETTER; IT IS A CONDITIONAL OR RECIPROCAL ACTION, FOR EACH OF US IS A COMPLETE ENTITY AND THIS COMPLETENESS MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO RECEIVE ONLY AS WE GIVE.
WE CANNOT OBTAIN WHAT WE LACK IF WE TENACIOUSLY CLING TO WHAT WE HAVE. WE ARE ABLE TO CONSCIOUSLY CONTROL OUR CONDITIONS AS WE COME TO SENSE THE PURPOSE OF WHAT WE ATTRACT, AND ARE ABLE TO EXTRACT FROM EACH EXPERIENCE ONLY WHAT WE REQUIRE FOR OUR FURTHER GROWTH. OUR ABILITY TO DO THIS DETERMINES THE DEGREE OF HARMONY OR HAPPINESS WE ATTAIN.
THE ABILITY TO APPROPRIATE WHAT WE REQUIRE FOR OUR GROWTH CONTINUALLY INCREASES AS WE REACH HIGHER PLANES AND BROADER VISIONS, AND THE GREATER OUR ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT WE REQUIRE, THE MORE CERTAIN WE SHALL BE TO DISCERN ITS PRESENCE, TO ATTRACT IT, AND TO ABSORB IT. NOTHING MAY REACH US EXCEPT WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR OUR GROWTH.
ALL CONDITIONS AND EXPERIENCES THAT COME TO US DO SO FOR OUR BENEFIT. DIFFICULTIES AND OBSTACLES WILL CONTINUE TO COME UNTIL WE ABSORB THEIR WISDOM AND GATHER FROM THEM THE ESSENTIALS OF FURTHER GROWTH.
THAT WE REAP WHAT WE SOW IS MATHEMATICALLY EXACT. WE GAIN PERMANENT STRENGTH EXACTLY TO THE EXTENT OF THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES.

DON MIGUEL RUIZ'S BOOK, THE FOUR AGREEMENTS WAS PUBLISHED IN 1997.

"OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE.
OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE.
IT IS OUR LIGHT , NOT OUR DARKNESS, THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.
WE ASK OURSELVES, WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED AND FABULOUS?
ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOESN'T SERVE THE WORLD.
THERE'S NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT SHRINKING SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WONT FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU.
WE ARE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD THAT IS WITHIN US.
IT'S NOT JUST IN SOME OF US; IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR OWN LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY, GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME.
AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR, OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS."
NELSON MANDELA-1994
