“ There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind - you are the one who hears it.”

Michael Singer

“ Am I better off making up an alternate reality in my mind and then fighting with reality to make it be my way, or am I better off letting go of what I want and serving the same forces of reality that managed to create the entire perfection of the universe around me?”

Anthony de Mello

“ What you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of is in control of you.

You are always a slave to what you’re not aware of. When you’re aware of it, you’re free from it. It’s there, but you’re not affected by it. You’re not controlled by it; you’re not enslaved by it. That’s the difference.”

Bob Hoffman

“ Love is not a barrier to anything. It is the great liberator. When you love yourself for the person you are and can give that love to others, then you have found a freedom unknown to those who remain uninvolved and unattached.”

Ram Dass

“ When you're born, you go into Somebody Training- 'cause your parents know who they are and they're gonna make you somebody, too. My parents were very intent on making me somebody. And they wanted me to achieve, be responsible, be healthy, be successful, bring pride to them, and if it didn't interfere with any of those, I should be happy.

And you walk down the street and you're somebody. You say you know who you are. You dress like somebody, your face looks like somebody, everything is somebody. Everybody is reinforcing their structure of the universe over and over again. "This is who I am, this is who you are." We enter in these conspiracies. I'll make believe you are who you think you are, if you make believe I am who I think I am. I mean, everybody's busy being somebody.”

Dr. Robert Glover

“ In general, people are not drawn to perfection in others. People are drawn to shared interests, shared problems, and an individual's life energy.

Humans connect with humans. Hiding one's humanity and trying to project an image of perfection makes a person vague, slippery, lifeless, and uninteresting.”

W. Timothy Gallwey

“ When the mind is free of any thought or judgment, it is still and acts like a mirror. Then and only then can we know things as they are.”

Vadim Zeland

“ The mind is constantly generating thoughts and the voice of the heart is literally drowned out by the ‘thought-churn’ making it difficult to access intuitive knowledge. If you stop the train of thoughts and simply contemplate the emptiness, you will hear the rustle of the morning stars, the inner voice that has no words. The heart could provide answers to many of our questions if only we could hear its voice.”
