Indeed, all of life experience enhances its awareness. There is nothing that does not serve the process of your soul's growth." - Emmanuel

If you have compassion you cannot judge, because you understand from the point of compassion that the person who is before you, in this moment, CAN ACT NO DIFFERENTLY. And you CANNOT, impose your rules on them because there is always some part of YOUR consciousness that other people can look at and judge to be wrong." - Bartholomew

"There can be no universal panacea for happiness which is obvious to anyone who has studied, as I have, the root causes of happiness and its opposite. Happiness is a state which is created within us by a very large and very varied number of factors. One man is happy with nothing less than a luxurious mansion and estate and a fleet of fast cars; another man is happy in a monk's cell with the minimum requirements of life. It would seem, therefore, that it is not what we actually possess which provides us with happiness, but our reactions to what we possess. The secret of happiness, like the kingdom of heaven, must be within us, and the key to it is our attitude towards life and especially towards our personal life." - Bertrand Russell, from the "after-death" state
"When your ego feels the sting of jealousy, TICKLE IT! And laugh :)"

"Strive to be able to experience the feeling of a desire as a fulfillment in and of itself. Much potential frustration is avoided entirely."

"Joy is an inner note that you sound as you move through the day. You will have joy only when you focus on having it and settle for nothing less." - Orin
