“We are here on earth to learn lessons of love and compassion.”

“Whenever we kill another person, we also kill a part of ourselves. To be violent, to hate, and to kill are wrong. We fail the lesson; we have to repeat the course. At a deeper level, we can never really be killed because we are consciousness, we are soul. But in this physical dimension we can die corporeally, and we must stop the violence. It is time to act like the spiritual beings that we truly are.”

“Words of others cannot rob us of our inner peace and joy unless we give them the power to do so.”

“You can only make choices for yourself. You can offer to help others find their way, but it is their decision if they will accept your help. You cannot force them to accept, even if you are in the right.”

“You might look into the eyes of an infant, born mere minutes ago, to find that she is a thousand years old. Their limitless warmth and wisdom belie her true age.”

“If you rely exclusively on the advice of others, you may make terrible mistakes. Your heart knows what you need. Other people have other agendas.”

“Love is a flower that blooms in the four seasons.”

“Money is neither good nor bad; Although sometimes important, it does not provide true security.”

“People often hide behind their professional labels and masks (doctor, lawyer, senator, etc.), most of which didn't even exist before the 1920s or 1930s. We have to remember who we were before we were awarded our titles.”

“Pride is an obstacle to forgiveness, a manifestation of the ego, which is the transitory false self. You are not your body, not your brain, not your ego. You are more powerful than all of them. You need your ego to survive in the three-dimensional world, but only the part that processes information. The rest, pride, arrogance, mistrust, fear, are totally unnecessary feelings. These aspects of the ego take you away from wisdom, happiness and God. You have to transcend the ego and find your true self, which is permanent, the deepest part of you, your wise part, full of love, the one that gives you confidence and gives you happiness. Intellect is important in the three-dimensional world, but intuition is even more so.”

“Reality is the present. Dwelling in the past or future causes pain and illness. Patience can stop time. God’s love is everything.”

“The events of a previous life guide the present life.”

“The soul of man is like water. He comes from heaven, rises to heaven and then returns to earth, in an eternal cycle.”

“There is someone special for everyone. Often there are two or three or even four. They come from different generations. They travel across oceans of time and the depths of heavenly dimensions to be with you again. They come from the other side, from heaven. They look different, but your heart knows them. Your heart has held them in arms like yours in the moon-filled deserts of Egypt and the ancient plains of Mongolia. You have ridden together in the armies of forgotten warrior-generals, and you have lived together in the sand-covered caves of the Ancient Ones. You are bonded together throughout eternity, and you will never be alone.”

“When we have to make an important decision, we listen to our heart, to our inner wisdom, especially when we have to make a decision about a gift from destiny such as a soul mate. Fate will deposit its gift directly at our feet, but what we decide to do with it from then on is up to us.”

“With love and understanding comes the prospect of infinite patience. What's the use of being in a hurry? Anyway, even if you don't see it that way, time doesn't exist. When you don't live in the present and get sucked into the past or worry about the future, you hurt yourself and grieve yourself. Time is also an illusion. Even in the three-dimensional world, the future is just a system of probabilities. So why do you worry?”

“An open and loving heart, seeking a higher good without selfish motive, without any shadow of negativity or harm, can invoke a powerful manifesting energy in order to accomplish its goals. This is our right as spiritual entities. This is an essence of our spirituality. This is the invocation of grace.”

“Because destiny had a different plan. They were supposed to meet later.”

“If you can leave a relationship with love, empathy, and compassion, without any thoughts of revenge, hatred, or fear, that is how you let go.”

“People come into our lives at certain times for various reasons having to do with lessons to be learned. It is not a coincidence that they didn’t meet at a much earlier age when they did not have other commitments. I think the reason people meet later is to learn about love in many different ways and about how to balance this with responsibility and commitment. They’ll meet again in a different lifetime. They must be patient.”

“Poor health tends to make narcissists of us, and narcissism makes us blind to compassion, empathy, anger management, and patience – all elements that, when mastered, will lead us higher up the evolutionary scale toward immortality.”

“The important question regarding spirituality is not which God you follow but are you true to your soul? Are you living a spiritual life? Are you a kind person here on earth, getting joy from your existence, causing no harm, and doing good to others?”

“The number of days and years one lives on Earth is insignificant. It’s the quality of those days and years that’s important, quality measured in loving acts and achieved wisdom. Some people do more good in one day than others do in a hundred years. This is their message. Every soul, every person is precious. Every person helped, every life aided or saved, is immeasurably valuable.”

“When we are impatient, we cause suffering in ourselves and in others. We rush and judge recklessly, we act without considering the consequences of what we do. Our choices are forced and often wrong; and the price we pay for them, high.”

“Patience and timing. Everything comes when it must come. A life cannot be rushed, cannot be worked on a schedule as so many people want it to be. We must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. But life is endless, so we never die; we were never really born. We just pass through different phases. There is no end. Humans have many dimensions. But time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that are learned.”

“Peace is love, and love is wisdom.”

“There is no end. Humans have many dimensions. But time is not as we see it, but lessons to be learned.”
