Brian Weiss Quotes

“A constantly criticized child can loose as much confidence and self-esteem as one who remembers being humiliated on one particular, horrifying day. A child whose family is impoverished and has very little food available on a day-to-day basis might eventually suffer from the same psychological problems as a child who experienced one major episode of accidental near-starvation.”

“According to most writers, groups of souls tend to reincarnate together again and again, working out their karma (debts owed to others and to the self, lessons to be learned) over the span of many lifetimes.”

“Basically, everyone's paths are the same. We all must learn certain attitudes while we are in the physical state. Some of us are quicker than others to accept them. Charity, hope, faith, love... we must all know these things, and know them well. They are not just a hope, a faith, a love; many things feed on each of them.”

“Don’t push the river. It will travel at its own speed anyway.”

“Each person must take care of himself to make himself whole. We have lessons to learn, each of us. They must be learned one by one in order. Only then can we know what the person next to us needs, what they lack or what we lack in order to be whole.”

“Everything must be balanced. Nature is balanced. The beasts live in harmony. Humans have not learned to do that. They continue to destroy themselves. There is no harmony, no plan to what they do. It’s so different in nature. Nature is balanced. Nature is energy and life and restoration. And humans just destroy. They destroy nature. They destroy other humans. They will eventually destroy themselves.”

“Fear is a waste of energy; It prevents people from fulfilling what they were sent to do.”

“Happiness is really rooted in simplicity. The tendency to excessiveness in thought and action diminishes happiness.”

“Humankind has not learned about balance, let alone practiced it. It is guided by greed and ambition, steered by fear. In this way it will eventually destroy itself. But nature will survive; at least the plants will.”

“Humankind is immortal, and what we are doing now is learning our lessons. We are all in school. It is so simple if you can believe in immortality.”

“Hypnosis is an excellent tool to help a patient remember long-forgotten incidents.”

“I know there is a reason for everything. Perhaps at the time an event occurs we do not have the psychological insight or foresight necessary to understand the reasons, but with time and patience they will come to light.”

“If everyone knew that they have lived countless times before and will live countless times again, how much more comforted would they feel! If they knew that there are spirits around them, when they are in a physical state; that after death, in a spiritual state, they will reunite with those spirits, including those of their dead loved ones, what a consolation it would be! If they knew that 'guardian angels' actually exist, how much safer would they feel! If they knew that acts of violence and injustice do not go unnoticed, but must be paid for with the same coin in other lives, how much less would be the desire for revenge! And if truly 'by knowledge we approach God', what use are material possessions and power, when they are an end in themselves and not a means for that approach? Greed and lust for power have no value.”

“If you do not, when you return you will have to carry that trait, as well as another one, into your next life. The burdens will become greater. With each life that you go through and you did not fulfill these debts, the next one will be harder. If you fulfill them, you will be given an easy life. So you choose what life you will have. In the next phase, you are responsible for the life you have. You choose it.”

“Inner peace is impossible without patience. Wisdom requires patience. Spiritual growth implies the mastery of patience. Patience allows the unfolding of destiny to proceed at its won unhurried pace.”

“It is not necessary that everyone has regression therapy or visits psychics or even meditates. Those with disabling or bothersome symptoms may choose to do so. For the rest, keeping an open mind is the most important task. Realize that life is more than meets the eye. Life goes beyond our five senses. Be receptive to new knowledge and to new experiences.”

“It is possible that our mind says: "I don't know you". But the heart does know him.”

“Our body is just a vehicle for us while we’re here. It is our soul and our spirit that last forever.”

“Our task is to learn, to become God-like through knowledge. We know so little. You are here to be my teacher. I have so much to learn. By knowledge we approach God, and then we can rest. Then we come back to teach and help others.”

“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.”

“People cannot be judged hastily. It is necessary to be fair. Many lives have been ruined by hasty judgments.”

“Realize that life is more than meets the eye. Life goes beyond our five senses. Be receptive to new knowledge and to new experiences.”

“That we must share our knowledge with other people. That we all have abilities far beyond what we use. Some of us find this out sooner than others. That you should check your vices before you come to this point. If you do not, you carry them over with you to another life. Only we can rid ourselves of the bad habits that we accumulate when we are in a physical state. The Masters cannot do that for us. If you choose to fight and not to rid yourself, then you will carry them over into another life. And only when you decide that you are strong enough to master the external problems, then you will no longer have them in your next life.”

“The flower is enjoyed, the fruit is eaten, the root is preserved.”

“The inner diamond that was her true personality shone brightly for all to see.”

“The reward is in doing, but doing without expecting anything, doing unselfishly.”

“The steady day-in and day-out pounding of undermining influences, such as a parent’s scathing criticisms, could cause even more psychological trauma than a single traumatic event. These damaging influences, because they blend into the everyday background of our lives, are even more difficult to remember and exorcise.”

“True science begins with observation.”

“We also must learn not to just go to those people whose vibrations are the same as ours. It is normal to feel drawn to somebody who is on the same level that you are. But this is wrong. You must also go to those people whose vibrations are wrong with yours. This is the importance in helping these people.”

“We are beyond life and death, beyond space and beyond time. We are the gods, and they are us.”
