You
could sit on top of a mountain praying for hours a day and
still not make it if you had no love in your heart. You could
spend your life feeding the poor and still not make it because
your karma required you to bear and nurture children. The
path home to God is different for every person. Only communion
with your Higher Self will reveal your path to you.
- Elizabeth Clare Prophet

Karma
does not constitute determinism, the deeds do indeed determine
the manner of rebirth but not the actions of
the reborn individual--karma provides the situation, not the
response to the situation.
- The Encylopedia of Eastern Philosopy and Religion

The
sky has always been falling.

either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong.
The amount of work is the same.
- Carlos Castaneda

Each
person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has
something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some
work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you
are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The
whole intends to do something through you.
- Osho

So
remember, my meaning of discipline is not that of any Ten
Commandments...Your discipline has to come from your very
heart, it has to be your own--and there is a great difference.
When somebody else gives you the discipline, it can never
fit you; it will be like wearing somebody else's clothes.
Either they will be too loose or too tight, and you will always
feel a little bit silly in them.
- Osho

It
does not matter whether you paint, sculpt, or make shoes,
whether you are a gardener, a farmer, a fisherman, a carpenter--it
does not matter. What matters is, are you putting your very
soul into what you are creating? Then your creative products
have something of the quality of divine.
- Osho
|
|
Life
in itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create
meaning. Meaning has not to be discovered; it has to be created.
You will find meaning only if you create it. It is not lying
there somewhere behind the bushes, so you can go and you search
a little bit and find it. It is not there like a rock that
you will find. It is a poetry to be composed, it is a song
to be sung, it is a dance to be danced.
- Osho

|
Spiritual
perception must be an individual quest or it has no meaning...Even
steps in the wrong direction give us insight into the many
paths designed to teach us...On the road of life we must take
responsibility for all our decisions without blaming other
people for life's setbacks that bring unhappiness.
- Michael Newton

We
have Common Ground. We all have a body which is readily
visible. We have a mind that is witnessed by our words,
a spirit that is seen through our actions. Spirituality
is our Common Ground. We come together having arrived
through many value systems. We search for those common
threads that unite us and validate us. We unify through
our commonality; we respect our diversity. In the
openness of our spirits, we move forward seeking the
truth about ourselves.
- Jane Mullikin

Calm
self-confidence is as far from conceit as the desire to earn
a decent living is remote from greed.
- Channing Pollock
|
He
who has no opinion of his own, but depends upon the opinion
and taste of others, is a slave.

you.
