by Thich Nhat Hanh
This book will engage you in a powerful journey through the world of Self, in a deep exploration of the mind and carefull observation of the life you are living on Earth. Are you really being you? Trully discover who you are and what you are made of.
What is God? In reality it is your own positive self, your higher Self, your universal Self, the Self which knows no defeat, the Self which can rise again and again and again like a wave in the ocean. Yogi Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Ji
The moment you realize your own identity and realize that your identity is the Will of God, there is no one more divine than you. There’s nothing else to do. YB
I believe God wants you to know that insights come to you and through you. Wisdom does not flow only one way.
You may not have thought of yourself as a source of
Divine Wisdom, but you are — and before this very
week is out someone will be relying on you for just that.
When that moment comes, I am sure you will be ready.
If you were not, the moment would not come. Therefore,
trust the process — and yourself.” Neale Donald Walsch
“Life is meant to be absolutely a fountain of spirit from which you can drink your own peace, & understand & feel your own grace, & can understand the you within you.” Yogi Bhajan

A man of God and a noble person will not react—and that is the worst curse one can ever receive. The noble way of taking care of insults is this: don’t react. Let somebody abuse you, abuse your mother, your children, your dignity, your identity, and you just say, “thank you.” Don’t come down to that frequency. Don’t acknowledge your own bankruptcy because somebody else is insane. Show your power. Yogi Bhajan
As a person puts on new clothes and discards old and torn clothes, similarly an embodied soul enters new material bodies, leaving the old bodies. Bhagavad Gita 2:22
“May the warm winds of Heaven blow softly on your home,
And the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.

And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder.” Cherokee Blessing

“The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.” –Mark Twain
“If you want to live in this Age of Aquarius , then learn. Learn to call on yourself, learn to vibrate. Let us become prayerful in attitude. Then God will bless us in every field” –Yogi Bhajan

Five things we cannot recover in life:
(1) The Stone…………after it’s thrown,
(2) The Word………….after it’s said,
(3) The Promise……..after it’s broken,
(4) The Occasion……after it’s missed,
(5) The Time………….after it’s gone.
When everything changes, change everything.”
— Neale Donald Walsch
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
— Melody Beattie
Who are you? You are a “hu-man being.” “Hu” means spirit, the light. “Man” means the mental, the now. Now you are the spirit of your mind. You are the bright light of yourself. That’s your identity.

I believe God wants you to know… that how bad things may look right now means nothing.
It’s how good you know they can look with God’s help that counts.
Life has a habit of changing itself completely around in 24 hours. Heck, in 24 minutes sometimes. Don’t you dare give up on Tomorrow because of the way things look Today. Don’t even think about it…
— Neale Donald Walsch

I salute that Source in you.
Let us work together for unity and love.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
Einstein said, “Intuition does not come to an unprepared mind.” When he discovered the theory of relativity, it came to him in a flash of intuition. But only after he had studied and pondered the great mysteries of physics for years. This preparation allowed him to observe things that would have gone unnoticed to the “unprepared mind.” Get prepared.
— James Ray

“Whenever we move off in a new direction, we predictably are beset by waves of doubt, insecurity, worry, and uncertainty. It feels as if it will be much better — definitely much easier — to head for shore and back to the way things were. We long for the familiar and put off charging forward because, in that moment, going forward is unknown. It can feel scary and unsafe as we leave our comfort zone, as we start to plunge into the surf.”
— James Ray
