James Redfield Quotes

“By seeing the beauty in every face we lift others into their wisest self and increase the chances of hearing a synchronistic message.”

“Knowing our personal mission further enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences as we are guided toward our destinies.

First we have a question, then dreams, daydreams, and intuitions lead us toward the answers, which usually are synchronistically provided by the wisdom of another human being.”

“Learn to slow down and perceive the mysterious events and opportunities that happen in life. We call them coincidences, but if we look closely we see they are meaningful. They bring us just the right information at just the right time to extend our careers, relationships, and growth.

These events feel destined in some way, as though the world is set up to help us make a better life, work through our problems, and reach our dreams – if we just pay attention.”

“The awareness begins with a feeling of restlessness — an inner urging to find more meaning in life.

As we respond to this inner prompting we begin to notice the 'chance coincidences' — strange synchronistic events in our life.

We begin to realize that some underlying process is operating our life.”

“We're finally becoming aware of a process that has been unconscious since human experience began. From the start, humans have perceived a Birth Vision, and then after birth have gone unconscious, aware of only the vaguest of intuitions.

At first in the early day of human history, the distance between what we intended and what we actually accomplished was very great, and then, over time, the distance has closed. Now we're the verge of remembering everything.”

“Where Attention goes Energy flows; Where Intention goes Energy flows!”

“After all, you have grown accustomed to having an authority in your life to define reality, and without that external direction you feel confused and lost.”

“Do you see how preoccupied everyone has been? This perspective explains a lot. How many people do you know who are obsessed with their work, who are type A or have stress related diseases and who can’t slow down?

They can’t slow down because they use their routine to distract themselves, to reduce life to only its practical considerations. And they do this to avoid recalling how uncertain they are about why they live.”

“Dreams come to tell us something about our lives that we are missing.”

“Evolution is a myth. God creates the future the way he wants it.”

“Fear lowers one’s vibration tremendously.”

“For half a century now, a new consciousness has been entering the human world, a new awareness that can only be called transcendent, spiritual. If you find yourself reading this book, then perhaps you already sense what is happening, already feel it inside.

It begins with a heightened perception of the way our lives move forward. We notice those chance events that occur at just the right moment, and bring forth just the right individuals, to suddenly send our lives in a new and important direction.

Perhaps more than any other people in any other time, we intuit higher meaning in these mysterious happenings. We know that life is really about a spiritual unfolding that is personal and enchanting an unfolding that no science or philosophy or religion has yet fully clarified.

And we know something else as well: know that once we do understand what is happening, how to engage this allusive process and maximize its occurrence in our lives, human society will take a quantum leap into a whole new way of life one that realizes the best of our tradition and creates a culture that has been the goal of history all along.”

“History is not just the evolution of technology; it is the evolution of thought.”

“I don't think that anything happens by coincidence. No one is here by accident.

Everyone who crosses our path has a message for us. Otherwise they would have taken another path, or left earlier or later.

The fact that these people are here means that they are here for some reason.”

“If one can connect and build up enough energy, then coincidental events begin to happen consistently.”

“It is not just about being thankful, it is to make eating a holy experience, so the energy from the food can enter your body.”

“It says that whenever people cross our paths, there is always a message for us. Chance encounters do not exist. But how we respond to these encounters determines whether we’re able to receive the message.

If we have a conversation with someone who crosses our path and we do not see a message pertaining to our current questions, it does not mean there was no message. It only means we missed it for some reason.”

“Loving and energizing others is the best possible thing we can do for ourselves.”

“Once you learn what life is about, there is no way to erase that knowledge. If you try to do something else with your life, you will always sense that you are missing something”

“Our children take our level of vibration and raise it even higher. This is how we, as humans, continue evolution.”

“Sexual union is a holy moment in which a part of Heaven flows into the Earth.”

“Sudden, spontaneous eye contact is a sign that two people should talk.”

“The basic stuff of the universe, at its core, is looking like a kind of pure energy that is malleable to human intention and expectation in a way that defies our old mechanistic model of the universe – as though our expectation itself causes our energy to flow out into the world and affect other energy systems.”

“The First Insight is an awareness of the mysterious occurrences that change one’s life, the feeling that some other process is operating.”

“The human perception of this energy first begins with a heightened sensitivity to beauty.”

“The things that we preceive as beautiful may be different, but the actual characteristics we ascribe to beautiful objects are similar. Think about it. When something strikes us as beautiful, it displays more presence and sharpness of shape and vividness of color, doesn't it?

It stands out. It shines. It seems almost iridescent compared to the dullness of other objects less attractive.”

“The truth we have to tell and the things we have to do are too unique to fit within a usual job setting.”

“The universe is energy, energy that responds to our expectations.”

“The worst thing that can be done to children is to drain their energy while correcting them.”

“We humans have always sought to increase our personal energy in the only manner we have known, by seeking to psychologically steal it from the others – an unconscious competition that underlies all human conflict in the world.”
