“Unless you loosen the hold that your past has on you, your future will unfold in much the same way … it is time to begin writing a new script that accurately reflects the beautiful, powerful, and worthy being you are.”
—David Simon (via 510renaissance)
“The Self does not happen.
It is omnipresent and eternal.
What ‘happens’ is the recognition
of the Self by the mind.
This is called awakening.” —Mooji (via ashramof1)

To those of us who do not have a Guru
in the physical sense
who feel there is something lacking
who wish we had a Guru
take heart:The true Guru is never his body.
The true Guru is never in time.
He is Eternal.
He is already within.
Turn your glance inward and his Eternal Smile
will…
“The best way to get even is to forget.”

“Although I went through a major personal transformation, this is not right for everyone, nor is it necessary. Take your life exactly as it is in this moment. It is a fallacy to think that you’re going to get closer to God by changing the form of your life, by leaving your partner or changing your job, or moving or whatever…. by giving up your material possessions or growing your hair, or cutting off your hair, or growing a beard….It is not the form, it is the nature of the being that fulfills the form. If you’re a lawyer you can continue being a lawyer. Just use being a lawyer as a way of coming to God. One form is not necessarily more spiritual than another. In working on the nature of your being, quieting the mind and opening the heart are essential to developing a spiritual consciousness.”
—Ram Dass (via elige)
“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
—Lao Tzu (via elige)
“When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”
—Catherine Ponder (via pseudobollocks)
“In the light of self-awareness it becomes obvious that the world at all times is a reflection of the self”
—Deepak Chopra (via forfruitfuldreamers)
