"She was so quiet. So reflective. And she could erase herself, her spirit, with a swiftness that truly startled, when she knew the people around her could not respect it."

"I am an expression of the divine, just like a peach is, just like a fish is. I have a right to be this way...I can't apologize for that, nor can I change it, nor do I want to... We will never have to be other than who we are in order to be successful...We realize that we are as ourselves unlimited and our experiences valid. It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose."

(Thank you!! I just so totally snagged those for Fbook)

"No relationship occurs by accident, nor is what appears to be the end of the relationship a real end. Yet all who meet will someday meet again, for it is the destiny of all relationships to become holy (healed, forgiven)."

Nice quote, Mel.


"Turgenev received by the mysterious decree which marks out human vocations the gift which is noble beyond all others: he was born essentially impersonal. His conscience was not that of an individual to whom nature had been more or less generous: it was in some sort the conscience of a people. Before he was born he had lived for thousands of years; infinite successions of reveries had amassed themselves in the depths of his heart. No man has been as much as he the incarnation of a whole race: generations of ancestors, lost in the sleep of centuries, speechless, came through him to life and utterance."

~ Ernest Renan,
on the death of Ivan Turgenev

There are thoughts
that disappear into the heart,
where only a lover may follow them.

How easy it is
to kill a dream,
or a dreamer.

How fragile is the crystal cup? How frail, the age'd vine?
With just a word, the dream is cut -- and all who dream it die.


We are haunted by the ghosts of idle hours passed,
and guided by the spirits of hours well spent.


The Virgin wears blue because the sky is blue.
Her shawl is white because clouds are white.
She is holy, too, because they are.


To be thankful for your blessings
is the highest blessing you receive.


Even if the whole universe refuted it,
Christ alone would be proof of God's Love.


I have always been a great fan of Christianity.
One day it occured to me, "Maybe I am a Christian."


Truth is always just beyond
the thing you are looking at.

"We are full. We are brimming. Life unfolds. Worlds overflow. Contemplate beginnings. Once more, with feeling. All of us spinning. Doctors of nothing. Come again, full circle. You are well remembered. All of us beginning.

Love. Begin with Love and you can never go wrong. Take aim at love, and you can never "sin", which is "to miss the mark". Love is lighter than the wind, lighter than the ether. Your arrows will cut fire and fly straight. A single arrow will point you the whole way to the Kingdom, if its aim is true. Begin with love, or repeat history.

The most incredible experiences are not realized until after they are over. During such experiences, guiding spirits shield from our vision all but the moment. Only in time do great lessons come to light. They are given in an instant, to be pondered for an eternity."

"Yes, it is time for a Messiah. A Wayshower, who will once again remind us of the basic lessons of love he taught before, so soon forgotten. For it makes no difference how far an individual or nation has fallen into error; love will bring a renewed dedication to humanity. Just as it makes no difference how far away someone has gone, for love will bring a return. As poet, Emmet Fox noted, when it is projected with sufficient intensity, there is no distance that love cannot span, no illness--moral, mental, emotional or spiritual--that love cannot heal. No victory that love cannot win. Love is concentrated kinetic energy, the most awesome force in nature...and beyond Her.

If only you could love deeply enough and sustain love long enough, you could become the source of your own miracles, as powerful as the ancient "gods and goddeses." There is no dream you couldn't turn into a reality, no law you can't change, no situation you can't reverse--if only you could love enough.

Loving enough is not easy. Loving enough doesn't mean loving only those who love you, who are kind and considerate and generous. Loving enough means also loving those who 'say all manner of evil against you,' who hate you and actively demonstrate that hatred, who seemingly lack all compassion and sensitivity. Anyone can return the love of those who love him--or her. There's little glory or power in that kind of love. We are incarnated in these flesh bodies on Earth to learn love's deeper, more difficult lesson of loving the unlovable. In this accomplishment lies all the force and energy of true passion. More often than not, it's a painful effort, but the rewards, when it's mastered, are...beyond imagining. Never mind unnecessary religious 'canonization'--you, too, can become a 'saint,'--if you can love enough.

Who among us is not, at times, unlovable? And are not these the very times when we secretly yearn and need to be loved the most? Oh! the magic of receiving kindness in return from one to whom we have been unkind...the miracle of hearing, when we have said: 'I'm sorry I said such cruel things,' the answer: 'What cruel things? I didn't hear them.'

Then the heart bursts with joy and our cup runneth over. For this most ancient alchemy secret of all is such a simple secret. If it was negative, it didn't happen--except in the world of illusion.

And so, may the Force...of Love...be with you. May it prevent the predicted cataclysms of Nature, as well as the personal cataclysms of separation and divorce, through its prisms of Light."

Found in John O'Donohue's book "Anam Cara"

"If you keep interfering with your connection with your Other, your lover, your anam cara, you gradually begin to force a distance between you.

He cites this two line poem from Thom Gunn:

Jamesian

Their relationship consisted
in discussing if it existed.

Authentic relationship ceases to exist
the instant you take for granted that it does.

Truth is that inexpressible thing
which resides somewhere in-between
two brilliantly articulated and utterly
irreconcilable statements of belief.

Our highest endeavor must be
to develop "free" human beings
who are able of themselves to impart
purpose and direction to their lives.

“It is up to you. You do not have to start working miracles. You just have to get hold of a little book written about Buddha… about Jesus…, about Shri Krishna… about Sankachara, and study it. That is all you have to do. And Study it. Then apply the theory to your mind and act upon it. That is the answer. THAT IS THE ANSWER. These Great Masters I have mentioned were specially trained in the high Cosmic Mystery Schools before they came in sacrifice to Terra. They did not guess at anything at all. They knew exactly – EXACTLY – what they were saying and how to say it and WHEN to say it. They were trained by the Great Cosmic Adepts of Saturn Itself – all of these Masters were – and given High Cosmic Initiation before apparent terrestrial birth. So there was nothing hit or miss about it – it was hit, and hit only. What they said was True – not complete, of course not, - nothing can speak complete Truth – it is above sound – but their Truth was complete enough to put Terra back into the Realms of Light from which she fell. ”

~ Master Aetherius, November 24, 1956


“There comes a turning point in the lives of all of us. This is the focal point of your life, like the hub of a wheel... The turning point comes when you devote your life to God wholeheartedly – without reservation; without reservation, without any reservation! When you do this, all the Powers, all the Inspiration, and all the knowledge are yours!... There is no doubt that the greatest magic on this Planet is created by those whose every deed is done in the Name of Almighty God. This outlook brings strength and power way above the norm to all those who make such dedication in their hearts and Souls... The journey back to the Source is inevitable. It is up to each self-conscious individual to pick the time when they start this journey in real earnest.... If you would be wise, then start an investment today by putting good, unselfish deeds into a Spiritual bank account which will pay the highest dividends of all... And I know from my own experience that when you do this you will be guided and given the strength and knowledge to succeed and evolve.”

~ Dr. George King

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you… The one who turns to his friends and says, ‘that’s her.”
