Spiritual Quotes for Self Development and Self Empowerment.

"There is a beautiful garden deep within you, which only you can enter. I can only help to get you to the gates, and that's exactly what my quotes have been designed to do."

"There's always a lot of argument to truth because most people do not understand the subjective nature of it. Nearly all of the following quotes are MY truth, so there is no argument against them; equally, there is no question to them and no accountability to anybody else for them, because they are MY truth. A few of the quotes still fall into the realms of lofty philosophy or reasoned belief, because I have yet to validate them via my own personal experiences. You can 'know' something from what you read and even 'understand' it, but it will always be just a belief unless you 'accept' it and you subsequently 'experience' it. Understanding is indeed a blessed thing but wisdom (which is derived from lofty philosophy experienced) is the pearl."

"A few years ago I was driving through my local town and at the main set of traffic lights the local council had erected the most beautiful Christmas tree in readiness for the season's festivities. There must have been well over a thousand pretty lights on this tree. I pulled over and took in its beauty and began to think that maybe we, as individuals, are the bright lights; and God is the electricity source, the life force itself. How bright is your light?"

"Everybody's soul is a great regulator when it comes to justice and karma. In other words, what is emotionally incomplete in us creates the friction in our lives, which brings the experiences that enable the completion of unfinished business (emotions that have not been resolved into wisdom). Revenge is obsolete with this understanding because a person's own soul will drive them to balance the errors of their ways, even if the remedial experiences don't occur until their next lifetime."

"Are we the dog? Or are we the dog owner? Or are we the master dog trainer, like Caesar? Are we the sleepy human being? Or are we consciously aware? Or are we super-conscious? The only true spiritual path is the journey of remembering. It is the journey going back to re-capture your latent memories and make them conscious in you. It is all mind! And when by a choice born in wisdom, you embark upon this sometimes perilous journey, you will no longer serve or worship anybody because you will have become a living spiritual warrior on the road to super-consciousness."

"There are 7 rows of seats in the cinema. There are 7 rungs on Jacob's ladder. There are 7 energy centres in your body. There are 7 levels of mind. There are 7 major frequencies of energy. There are 7 envelopes of light that comprise your body. There are 7 steps to Heaven. There are 7 dimensions of time. There are 7 planes of existence. There are 7 frequencies of consciousness that your brain can pick up. There are 7 endocrine glands in your body that communicate your thinking to your DNA. Do you not think it's all linked? Imagine what you can do with all of that! How great do you want to be?"

"Ego is 'I'. Ego is God. Altered-ego is the entanglement of 'I' into the illusions of thought-forms. Human consciousness is a reflection of this alteredness. Indeed, we have successfully separated ourselves from a greater truth, and in doing so, have created a race of phantoms amongst phantoms. Nobody is ever real because of this conditioned, 'altered' way of thinking. The good news is - when we can see this, we separate ourselves from it, and the illusions of form gradually diminish to, once again, reveal our true nature. Thought and thinking are not the enemy, but our minds do have to be refined in order for us to individually know a greater truth. We are here to know ourselves..."

"There is a battle going on for the collective mindset of humanity. On the one hand you have those who do not want people to move any energy back to themselves and who use various methods to 'dumb-down' the masses, from poisoning our food, water and air to 'mind-control' via their media arms. On the other hand, you have those of us who make the people aware of this and aware of other knowledge that serves to advance consciousness. Who will win the battle? How far are you going to spread this page?"

"What is in control of our lives? It is the programs we have empowered to run in our brains. What we show to the world is our programs, which we have identified with but are often not consciously aware of, and the emotions we feel are the result of running them - they are the milk from the cow.
The 'sexual predator' is an opportunist program that runs until the participant realises that he no longer needs to dive for prey because it's all basically the same and there's only fleeting moments of satisfaction followed by inner turmoil due to the lies and deceit, which go hand in hand with running the program.
The 'perfectionist tyrant' can be as extreme as Hitler was or as subtle as any tyrant can be. The 'victim martyr' can be as extreme as a suicide bomber or as subtle as any victim can be.
The 'guilt' program brings pain and suffering and is chosen by one who unconsciously prefers the feelings that being guilty brings to the freedom that comes from self-forgiveness. The participant only gets to take themselves off the cross when they have enough self-love to choose self-forgiveness instead of guilt.
The 'bully' and the 'coward' act in a way that makes them look and feel superior with their group of influence, but of course they achieve the opposite! On the other hand, the 'worship' program seems to be unavoidable to those who believe there is some god, some christ or some guru who is greater than they are.
How many more delusional programs can you think of? And do you know all of the programs you are running? The path to freedom starts when you wake up in the dream and realise you are the one who has put yourself in it, due to how you have been conditioned to think."

"Some friends comfort you when you are sick. They side with you when you need a foe. They agree with you when you need them to see your point of view. And they tell you just what you want to hear when you most need to hear it. Friends like this do not love you. When you change, some of those 'friends' will naturally fall by the wayside, because they were simply linked to you based upon the mind you previously had. Compatible Neuronets! Energy is only held together at similar levels of consciousness. Love is rarely what it seems to be, and certainly not obvious at times. Speaking harsh words to someone that will rock their little world and eventually move them out of their comfortable 'death' seat, is an act of great love. It also brings you the respect you deserve when you can speak such truth. In saying that, you never want to put the boot in when they're obviously down and licking their wounds! At these times, you shine a light and offer them a hand over the ditch. It's a fine line to walk because you want to encourage growth but you definitely don't want to agree with their argument of limitation. You advance consciousness in this world when you intimidate ignorance. Individuals do not grow when all you do is stroke them and tell them how wonderful they are."

"Emotions were born from love in the first place. In my book I liken them to pieces of chocolate orange:) They are 'fractured love' and we are here to put the chocolate orange back together again. We do this by naming each emotion when we experience it and we bring it to the point of wisdom, which to date has eluded us. We do this by consciously beckoning the understanding forward. We came to this world to 'know what love is' and the only way we can achieve this is to 'know what love is not'. It is our emotions that show us this, so we simply have to decide to unmask them, which means our lives should be a quest for wisdom."

"Think of it another way. Everyone of us is a 360 degree protractor. Some degrees of us are coloured blue, which is where we've got the wisdom from an emotion and thus we no longer experience that emotion. But most of the degrees are coloured red! Therefore, we are here to convert our reds into blues until we become totally BLUE. When we have achieved this, we know the truth about ourselves, we know the love of God and we know there is no difference between the two. Indeed, the two are really one."

"To me, enlightenment and wisdom are the same thing, and they are terms misused by many people. So how does one know if someone is wise or enlightened? Is it on the 'say so' of someone else? Is it from what you've heard them say or from their words you have read? I don't think so. In fact, most people can write or speak beautiful words that can inspire others - that only means they have a degree of understanding of what they write or speak about, and ironically it's not necessarily a greater understanding than the reader or listener of such! However, if you see a woman walk on water or a man walk through a wall, then you can be sure they are wise, because a wise being is one who is able to defy reality as it is seen by most people. Any other proclamation of wisdom is delusional. Indeed, the height of ignorance and arrogance is a self-made claim to wisdom/enlightenment in the absence of any demonstratable ability to prove it."

"There is something magnificent inside of you that is bursting to get out! And the only thing that's stopping it, is the life you lead. You either develop the mind to resurrect your true self or you stay swimming in your emotional soup, along with the 'mind parasites' of your personality. You are the leader of your life - where do you want to take it?"

"When you finish a chapter in your book of life, you might re-visit it but you'll only confirm what you already know. Indeed, when you've captured the wisdom from your repetitive experiences, nothing is ever the same again - how could it be? You've 'grown' and although you might glance back from time to time, you'll never want to live there again - it's over and good riddance to it! However, beware of the 'guilt-trippers'. They'll come onto you, remind you of instances in your past and then try to manipulate you into their agenda, by trying to make you feel guilty about the warped way they see your past. How do you deal with these fools? It's easy: just remind them that it's they who live in your past and not you, and that trying to lay a guilt trip on you is just another pathetic form of control and a waste of everybody's time. They may think they're clever when they manipulate a situation to their advantage but their soul just yawns at their foolishness."

"The body really is the perfect vehicle. It doesn't have the ability to get seriously ill on its own. It is the attitudes of the person riding the body that causes its dis-ease. If you want a pristine vehicle you have to have pristine communication with it. I am so beautiful - are you?"

"A friend of a friend nearly lost her life when the jumbo she was in flew through a sand-storm and one of its engines got blocked. The passengers were panicking because they feared the other engine would block as well, but the Captain stayed calm and was determined not to lose his plane. He took the jumbo down to a very low altitude and managed to get underneath the sand-storm. Fortunately, the blocked engine cleared and all landed without harm, which really was down to the determination, knowledge and will of the Captain. I told this true story to my father when he was very poorly with severe pneumonia in his one lung. Are you the captain of your plane or just another passenger?"

"To build a house in consciousness that will eventually lead you to greatness, you firstly have to re- construct the foundations. This means you re-define yourself as a spiritual being and drop your human identity. Be 'clear' about the fundamentals - you are a spiritual being having a human experience and not the other way around! If you want to evolve, you must become very clear about how you define yourself. Your spiritual nature is indefinable, so the more indefinable you become, the closer to the truth you get. You cannot be a 'master' and define yourself as a human being at the same time; it just doesn't equate!"

"Have you ever felt like a fraud? How much of you is really involved in your life? Or is your mind creating an illusion that separates you from life? How much of your thought is fantasy? Are you in control of your mind or is it in control of you? Where is it coming from? How much of it is the truth? Is any of it real? Are you your mind or can you hear it? If so, who is the one listening? Who's playing who here? What if none of this is real? Think about it - can you trust your own mind? Who's creating the fantasies instead of creating an extraordinary future? I am! And who is that?"

"You'll probably like a lot of my quotes but you'll also think some of them are plain bullshit. Listen closely to your arguments against the ones you don't like and the ones you disagree with. Do you want a fasttrack to enlightenment? Identify the quotes that sit uneasy with you; go within yourself and beckon the experiences forward to either prove or disprove them."

"Boredom is a lack of mental stimulation and oftentimes a sign from your soul that you are ready to embark upon a new adventure. Other people may think you've lost interest in life, but that's not the case - you've only lost interest in what you can define."

"Silencing the voices in your head that are coming from your past, is like playing a game of chess against a computer. The computer only knows the moves it has previously been programmed with. When the voices say to you 'prove it', you've got your limitation in 'check'. Expanding your mind and Checkmate is when you do."

"People live in their own little bubbles, which consist of other people in their lives, the places they visit and the things they do. They generally don't give a fuck about what's outside of their bubble - you know, what's happening in the world and the cosmos and all of that stuff. If you try to engage these people in 'deep' conversation, they will shun you, because they're only interested in their little bubble and protecting themselves from the big bad world. Said another way, this represents the subjective mindset of humanity and its unconscious, emotional agreement with mind-control. So how do you teach great knowledge to such a mindset? Well generally you don't. It's the same question as asking, how do you teach to a closed-minded person? The 'suppressives' on this planet know exactly how to do this because they've been doing it subliminally for donkey's years. And people's appetites for their programs are as big as ever! You'd think people would 'raise their game', but they don't, because their addiction to repetitive experiences is too great. If you care about another soul and you've got their ear, so to speak; the only thing you can do is spoon feed them with 'snippets' of 'objective mind' and hope that some of it will 'stick'. That's exactly what I'm doing here. And if you've got half a brain you'll join me by forwarding these quotes onto other souls. If, on the other hand, you are more concerned about how you 'look' and how you 'feel' than by what you 'know' and how you can 'help'; then you are nothing more than the product of mind control."

"You are driven by two forces. The obvious one is your personality, which is trying to forge a name for itself in this image-conscious world. It is the self-created image you want to project to the world. The second force is your soul, which simply doesn't care about the first force because it knows it's a temporary illusion. In a greater sense, your personality is born from your soul, to give you the opportunity to own the encumbrances in your soul. These oversights on your part, are emotional experiences that you haven't resolved into wisdom, which have occured in previous lifetimes and in this lifetime. The 'unresolved' emotion is simply carried forward to the next life - it is the real nature of karma. The challenge for you is to OWN it all in this lifetime, and thus this task should be the basis of your life. At certain stages in your life you will come to crossroads and feel like you're 'piggy in the middle'. Which road will you take? Which force WILL you empower? How aware are you of your true self? How determined are you to live true to it? Or are you going to take the road to your death, just to have to come back and do it all again?!"

"Letting go is rarely an easy thing to do, but when there's no more for you to learn, it's necessary to let go and move on if you want to grow. Letting go is not leaving a 'toe in the past' so you can resurrect the past if 'things don't work out'. No, it doesn't work like that, and you'll come to realise that you can't cheat consciousness nor climb Jacob’s ladder when you're a house divided against itself. Any 'mind association' that you keep 'alive' is still a part of your reality. You only move on when you sever the old ties, cease all contact with them and don't look back. That's the only evidence you have of owning your past - you either have the wisdom or you don't."

"Not having God in your life is like having a silent business partner who knows exactly what you should do; but you don't go to them because you 'think' you can work it all out for yourself. When you finally master the 5th level of mind and you are living and speaking your truth without fear or duality; it is like God is on the other end of a fibre-optic cable, which is permanently switched 'on' and plugged into you. You're then on automatic pilot to your soul's destiny..."

"Don't concern yourself with the stupid old white men who sit around and gloat about their war days and tell you that America is still the greatest country. It's like the young black man said at the Chicago street party, we are all one race. How correct he was and is. It is his kind, the youngsters who can pierce the veil and see the unity of all there is, who are the hope for the World. But we are not only one race! We are also one world and one God. Take a look around you - how many pairs of eyes is God looking through? You know, there are not many spiritual leaders who can and will speak such great truth, and yet the simplicity of God is staring us all in the face everyday."

"The church wants you to 'believe' and have 'faith' in what they teach, which has been heavily doctored to keep them in power and you under their mind-control. The gurus, on the other hand, tell you nice stories and teach you how to meditate, providing you commit to serving them and give your money to them. Not too different from the church really. But what about your experiences and your 'common sense' reasoning abilities? And that's not to mention your intuition and the modern science of quantum physics, which contradicts both western and eastern religions by putting YOU at the centre of the universe. The trouble for established, spiritual modalities is, Enlightenment and Christ consciousness are neither found in 'directed' belief and faith, or worship or devotional service or meditation of any kind."

"Meditation has only a limited benefit to mankind. You can take virtually any person and teach them how to meditate; but at best, all it will do for them is give them a nice feeling and temporary relief from their emotions: which in and of itself is a benefit!"

"Enlightenment (in knowledge of) comes in 2 ways. You either find a masterful teacher or you learn to go before your own god, or ideally you do both. The acquisition of new knowledge, which is the platform for new experiences, is the basis of enlightenment. And enlightenment surely must be the motivation of spiritual practice? If it's not your motivation then please question what is."

"A masterful teacher is not somebody who identifies himself as a human being and simply inherits the position when daddy dies (that's the recycling of ignorance), nor are they some yogi who just keeps repeating boring mantras. They are somebody who is heavily laden in wisdom from a life well-lived for that purpose, and they seem to have a bottomless well of incredible knowledge."

"At the advanced level of 'living and speaking your truth without duality' (the Golden 5th level of consciousness), there is no room for compromise or any internal conflict of your truth. Living your truth and compromising are not compatible bed partners at this level. One either re-captures energy or continues to leak it. This 5th rung on the 7-step ladder, is where we find eagles who either fly alone or they find their match in another eagle. Due to the fact that both individuals are on the same wavelength, meaning they are entirely truthful and transparent and share common values and ideals; they will have a beautiful relationship. An eagle who flys alone is happily celibate, because 'flying off the rails' to be with a sparrow would mean a fall down the ladder into dis-grace. If you want to know where your energy is caught up then look no further than the people in your life and what you are constantly thinking about. YES YOU CAN move beyond to a greater paradigm of thought."

"When Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven was in a mustard seed and a grain of sand he was referring to the implicate order of things (the tiny world that underpins the explicate order that we see). What is it that animates life? It can only be the essence of life itself, which is found in the nucleus of every atom. This is what Yeshua was referring to. The Kingdom of Heaven is both within you and all around you."

"What can't you forgive and why? What don't you understand? Which wolf do you feed? Forgiveness helps you to balance your soul against a feather and it is the imbalance that uses up the spiritual energy in your body, which eventually results in its death."

"You inherit and develop a mind that separates you from your true self, then you wake up and realise the enormity of the web you have to untangle. Gaining in knowledge and effort are what's required to untangle your true self from the intricate webs of your illusionary self."

"Why is everybody's life so different? It's because everybody thinks differently. If the richest people gave their wealth away to the poorest people then it would just be a matter of a short time before they got it all back again, because it is their respective mindsets that have created abundance and lack. You could argue that most poor people are born into poverty and you would be correct of course! But I would argue that it was their mindset in their previous life that determined where they were born. Leaving body parts aside, all of us can only be differentiated by our attitudes, which have come from 'conditioned trains of thought' in the first place. When we step out of our physical, emotional and mental bodies, we are just left with sameness. The deeper we go into our make-up, we only find unity and a oneness with all that is."

"What is the difference between you and God? There is only a difference if you think there is a difference because it is your thinking that creates separation or not. My father and I are one mind."

"Your tomorrows will only change when you think more about what you want than you think about your past. People who always reminisce create tomorrows like their yesterdays. That's not evolution! It is stagnation and ultimately death."

"Some people have to be on the 'go go go' just to feel like they're alive. They're driven by a variety of reasons, such as, a duty they feel towards another; trying to please others by making commitments to them; an addiction to stress (although they'll never admit to that one); thinking their security lies in getting more and more money at whatever cost to their health. And when they periodically exhaust themselves, they justify a 'well-earned' holiday, just to return and repeat the same process time and time again. It's the 'work hard play hard' mentality of the altered-ego. Their day to day quality of life is (who am I to judge?) because they work long, stressful hours. For relaxation they choose TV, which generally is a reflection of their life or what they're lacking in it, as a result of their chosen lifestyle. They wonder why their relationships suffer - is it really a mystery? The only real quality time they spend with their partners is when they go on holiday and even then it's difficult for them to 'switch off' completely and relax. Indeed, relaxation is a rarity for these people because they live in a kind of incessant spiral of assumed responsibility, voluntary duty and commitment, trying to please others, stress and comfort eating, and the unhappiness that inevitably occurs when it all doesn't 'add up' and their expectations aren't met. The trouble is, they think the answer is more of the same, so they book some more overtime at work and another overseas trip! Believe it or not, there is a better way..."

"Never accept a potential reality that you don't want to create in your life. If you accept that your mind controls your body then how can your body die if your mind won't let it? Your WILL doesn't exist in your body; so don't strangulate it by accepting other people's limitations. Their opinions are coming from their limited experience. Your soul is your journal, it pencils in what you learn and then draws to you the experiences you need so you can make a permanent record (ink in) and turn the page. In theory, one only dies if the aforementioned process is willingly ceased by the individual. In other words, continue to learn the great knowledge and beckon the experiences to you for you to OWN them as wisdom."

"If you always do what you've always done then you'll always be what you've always been, because to keep doing what you've always done means you keep thinking like you always did."

"You have a choice in your life - it can either be a significant life or an insignificant one. Most people lead relatively insignificant lives because they never make that one impactful 'difference' to their life or to the lives of others. They leave no legacy. And yet everybody has got a piece of the jigsaw puzzle! It's never too late for you to add your piece - don't miss your chance..."

"Your secret life is the source of your unhappiness. If you never address it the seething depression will continue in your life. Take every opportunity to redeem yourself and come clean about your lies, cover- ups and secret liaisons. You need to lift the veil of secrecy from your life and the only way you can do that is to fall on your own sword. Only when it is done will you become trustworthy and have peace within yourself. Relationships are a mess when there's no transparency. What you take to the grave with you becomes a determining factor in your next life. Don't underestimate what I am saying here - this is medicine for your soul."

"Think of God as one hughmungus piece of bubblewrap and you and I as the individual bubbles. Are we not also bubblewrap? And are we not connected to every other bubble? That's exactly how it is - separation is an illusion! So why do you go to war every day?"

"It is ironic that we often fear getting what we say we want; especially when it is a quality we think we want in a partner. Absolute truth frightens most people. Many say they want it but few can cope with it."

"Never allow yourself to be accountable to anyone, with the exception of your chosen work or your parents if you still live with them. And never defend yourself against someone's ignorant opinions or judgement of you, because once again that makes you accountable to them. You don't owe anybody an explanation! And you are not anybody's subject!"

"What are you not telling? What are you harbouring? What have you still got to work through with your parents? Helping to release them from their self-imposed prisons, not only releases them but it releases you too! There's freedom when you release the pain. You can always initiate change and start a fresh tomorrow, but if you keep putting off change until tomorrow, you will eventually run out of tomorrows...expose your secret life now and own your genetics!"

"You show your ignorance by worshipping other beings and devoting yourself to them. When you do this, it is a slap in the face of your true nature - your spirit & soul. Devotion is not love, it is servitude, and you are not here to serve anybody in the context of worship. The great masters of antiquity never taught their disciples to do such, indeed, it's only the church leaders and so-called 'living' gurus who teach such trash; obviously for their own gains. They are a dis-grace! Do not insult yourself any longer but recognise your own divinity and you evolving into Christ consciousness."

"I am not here to be popular. That's why I haven't removed the small section in my book that talks about so-called aliens, even though many have suggested I do so to increase the sales of the book! Equally, I have not jumped on the 'Secret' bandwagon like so many people have. These are people who hide behind their titles and are only really concerned with their own commercial well-being. That is not who I am! I will always tell people what they may at first struggle to accept. Why? Because every person who moves beyond the clutches of a very limited mindset has an effect on the whole, and I am all about advancing consciousness on this primitive life. This is the reason why I will not change the content of my home page."

"It's interesting how when you share your truth with people, how you lose some of them. Often it's because they've identified you as being arrogant, which really is what they are. Arrogance is only found in ignorance. Speaking your truth evenly is very different. Ever wondered why Yeshua only had 12 disciples? Ponder that one."

"Maybe you don't think we're a primitive race of beings? Then answer me these questions: Why do we go to war on our own kind? Why do we cut down the great forests? Why do we put profit before the much needed medicines for the poor? Why do we poison the great seas, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat? Why do we have secret cults like the CIA who murder people they cannot control and put street drugs in the mouths of our children? Why do we stifle new technology that can cleanse the planet and improve the health of all of us? Why do we teach our children useless knowledge? Why do we have a banking system that keeps the majority of us in debt and only rewards the elite few who are behind the system? Why do we revere sports people and entertainers instead of the ground-breaking scientists who are working tirelessly to help improve our lives? Why do we bow down and curtsy to certain families, wear medals on our chests and perform pompous, ceremonial, ritualistic claptrap? Why do we brand brain-dead morons as heroes and geniuses? Why do we engineer wars and kill people (at the taxpayers expense) just to make more money for the so-called elite (because that's what it boils down to!)? Wouldn't the money be better used in the Venus project? Why do we restrict the oil supply and cripple our economies? Why do we engineer countries into indebtedness, strip them of their assets and effectively rape them? Because we are a race of people who have allowed ourselves to be led by a bunch of PRIMITIVE minds! So what does that say about us? I could go on and on and on but I'm so bored with this level of crippled consciousness."

"We can't change our memories nor would we want to. We can only transmute the old energy into a greater understanding by acquiring a greater knowledge. Then when our identities start to fuzz out, we get to realise sublime truth about our very nature."

"I realise that many of you will criticize me for being 'negative' and for not stroking your altered-ego. But do you realise that you will never grow if all you want to do is to hear from people who are 'nice' and 'kind' to you and tell you how 'wonderful' you are? That is a recipe for complacency and an inactive soul! Personal growth comes out of the fires of chaos and it's only by going through the fire, so to speak, does one change and purify."

"A teacher is never wrong because a teacher can only teach what a teacher knows. But if you only visit teachers who you are comfortable with, then your teachers are limited in their knowledge and your learning is restricted by your choice. You will always feel uncomfortable, at times, in the presence of a real master teacher. If, on the other hand, you have blessed yourself by listening intently to a real master teacher; then through the course of your own experiences, you will gradually become more and more like the master teacher. If that doesn't occur in your life, it's because you either don't listen too well or you insist on holding onto your limitations."

"A miracle can only occur if there's room in your life for it to occur. You can only manifest what you've firstly conceived in your mind, accepted without doubt in your being, willed through your focussed thought intent, and pushed past any opposing emotions. So ponder a desire, accept it within yourself, keep your mind focussed upon it, and clear your demonic decks of any necromancers."

"A wise teacher is one that will plant in you deep knowledge, indeed, the 'seeds of wisdom' that always take time to germinate. Then they will allow you the grace to come into your own realisation, which they know will confirm what they have lovingly given to you; albeit that your experiences will rarely follow exactly the same path that brought them to their wisdom."

"Life is just a never-ending succession of experiences and we are the sum total of our experiences. We are not here to necessarily accumulate wealth; we are here to accumulate knowledge, and then to experience the knowledge and gain in wisdom. Believe it or not, this life is an illusion and our growth runs parallel with us realising this fact."

"Our humanity is the consciousness that is born and becomes obvious by 'observing' the attitudes displayed in the human drama. Christ (god-woman or god-man) is the consciousness that is hidden 'within' us; yet is gradually revealed by the mastery (by the emotional starvation) of the attitudes that comprise the human drama."

"Your essential self, that part of you that is the real you, is here on a mission to change your DNA through refining your thought processes; so that you eventually become unlimited in your mind. This evolutionary process, in-turn, raises the frequency of your body and enables you to access so-called ‘higher’ dimensions. Be in no doubt that this is the only way you can escape your genetic destiny, which has been keeping you on the wheel of reincarnation for thousands of years…."

"Imagine for a moment a juicy apple. Now get one of those fine acupuncture needles and hazard a guess at how many times you could prick the apple in different places. Ok now let's assume you could slice through each pin-prick 360 degrees (1 slice equates 1 degree). How many ways could you slice through the apple? This lifetime is ONE slice! Another slice would be the last century and another slice would be life on this earth 1000 years from now! Is there another version of World War 2 happening in the apple right NOW? Linear time is an illusion and you age because you buy into it. There is only ever now and you are an eternal being who is always conscious. Everything is ENERGY including YOU and I and one cannot kill energy; it can only be suppressed and changed in form." :)

"Draw an equilateral triangle and put the words Love, Truth and Impeccable at the pointy bits. Put the word JOY in the middle of the triangle because that's the only place you'll find it. Joy is not an emotion; it's the state you experience when your mind is not caught up in emotional addictions, conditioned responses, ulterior motives, compromises and impure intent. Heaven and Hell are within you - you can create either one in your life."

"You are given a name and you associate the words 'I am' with it. This is the birth of your illusionary self, which you have no control over. By further mind association and repetition (the way your brain works), 'I' (me, my, mine) gets entangled in virtually every aspect of this image-conscious society. You have now learned how to create and spread your phantom-self! The resulting observation you have, is like viewing a jigsaw puzzle that you have put together with the pieces you have been encouraged to identify with. You are born into your 'spiritual life' when you commence the break-up of your jigsaw puzzle and you simultaneously draw a new picture upon a blank canvass. How do you do this in practical terms? In exactly the same way that you created the identity that had the false foundation - by association and repetition. Through your mind you constantly tear down the construct of your illusionary self, and in doing so, you allow your true self to appear, standing on immortal foundations. You only become immortal when you dig out of your own psyche the emotional tree of your mortality. You are not who and what you think you are!"

"When one pans for gold they separate out what they want from what they don't want. It's the same with living a spiritual life; one simply separates self from one's limitations/identifications. Thinking you are growing old and death as being inevitable, is nothing more than a limitation in your mind. At the core of your being you are like a golden nugget that has been encased by layer upon layer of scaly vertebrae, which represents your limitations/identifications. If you keep peeling back the layers, just like peeling an onion, eventually you get to know the most sublime truth about your self. Why would you want to be anything other than gold?"

"This is what the 'powers that be' don't want you to know. Your evolvement is directly related to your ability to master your emotions by resolving them into wisdom. When wisdom replaces emotional responses you have a being who can no longer be manipulated or controlled into servitude. Imagine a society of freethinkers; beings who have freed themselves up from the mind-control antics of the so-called elite."

"When you recognise a personality trait in yourself that is causing problems with your conscience, don't be despondent about it but be thankful you saw it. And when you're fed up of looking at it at work in your life, do the smart thing and starve it of your attention. When you see clearly how you've been living, some of your memories will become embarrassing to look at. But when your wisdom allows you to 'let go' of them; they become like a dream that never happened."

"It is one thing to understand life and the nature of reality. It is another thing to understand the spiritual path and the way home. And it is a total self-mastery to be able to be that loving essence. There is a vast difference between trying to define the indefinable (which of course can never be done); and actually 'being' that indefinable presence. For instance, one cannot measure or witness a person's ability to be 'present' from words they communicate. The more defined one becomes, the more limited one is, and the more one separates oneself from the highest truth."

The next quote is an extract from Eckhart Tolle's excellent book 'A New Earth'.

"But do they really know themselves, or have they just added some spiritual-sounding concepts to the content of their mind? Knowing yourself goes far deeper than the adoption of a set of ideas and beliefs. Spiritual ideas and beliefs may at best be helpful pointers, but in themselves they rarely have the power to dislodge the more firmly established core concepts of who you think you are, which are part of the conditioning of the human mind. Knowing yourself deeply has nothing to do with whatever ideas are floating around in your mind. Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind." - Eckhart Tolle.

"It is easy to be in denial about our pain when it is not obvious to us. Everybody has deep-seated psychic pain, which is added to in layers by unconscious parenting and other life situations. It is for us to firstly become aware of our pain, how it is being 'triggered', and the emotional mindset that takes charge of us as a result of how we've viewed it. When we've identified our source of pain, does it eventually lose power over us if we keep observing it at work in our lives in an objective way? Or is it that our increased 'awareness' eventually takes hold of the reigns; making us less sensitive to previous triggers and thus freeing us from those redemptive runaway trains of pain? You decide."

"I've never shared this with anybody before, so I obviously don't do anything in half measures! Many years ago I spent a year of my life with a lady who now lives in Australia. We shared a flat and our bedroom was upstairs in an annex with one of those lovely roof windows (sky lights?). Me being me, I sellotaped a symbol to the glass (a triad with the number 32 in the centre) and put out my intent for 'contact'. A few weeks went by then one night when we were both seemingly asleep, I became conscious of being in an altered state of awareness. I was now sitting up in bed watching Kim levitating toward the skylight! At the same time, I also became aware of alien life-forms in the context of the small grey aliens (the infamous 'greys'). Having experienced this state of 'altered' consciousness before, I used the power of my mind to tell them to cease what they were doing and then Kim and I came back to our usual perception. To our amazement, our accounts of our mutual experience were IDENTICAL. Kim knew she had been levitating but wasn't aware that I was aware of it until we shared. How could I possibly leave the details of my OBE's and what I know about alien life-forms out of my book? Just because it's beyond most people's level of acceptance doesn't mean it's not my truth and Kim's truth. You will always doubt the experience of another when you have nothing in your conscious memory banks for such an experience. Hence truth is subjective in nature and is the result of personal cognitive experiences only. You would be very wise to keep an open mind about OBE's/NDE's/ESP and inner/extraterrestrial life. When you have an Out-of-Body Experience you will know, in that moment, that you exist outside of the confines of your body. You will also know that death, as the ignorant see it, is an illusion and just a transition from one reality to another (from one frequency of energy to another frequency of energy). You will also know that you existed before you came into your body. You will also know that re-incarnation is a universal truth."

"We come to the table looking for love, only to find disappointment due to our expectations. So we come to the table again. This time we do not fit in with the other person's ideal or they do not fit in with our ideal for them. So we try again to meet the conditions of a 'designer' relationship only to find we are unhappy because we have compromised to conform. Finally, we come to the table NAKED to find that the table was always filled with love. Why would you want anybody in your life who only brings to the table what you already know? If you've got an intimate person like that in your life, then just understand the weakness in you that keeps them at your table. In other words, identify the real reasons they're in your life and you'll know where to go from there."

"There is a part of you that is observing your every thought, reaction, movement and feeling. When you step back and listen to the voices in your head, you are being it. This 'observer' in you is your real self, and although it seems to be completely detached from life, it is in fact the very essence of life. Be aware that along your spiritual journey, your mind is never forsaken for some kind of boring, detached existence, but rather it is refined (by accumulating knowledge) to allow you to experience extraordinary life, which exists beyond the confines of body-mind consciousness."

"There are no mistakes in life if you learn from them. You had to do what you did to know what you know. It's not so much what you've done but what you've learned from it and the person you become. If, however, you still want to feel guilty about it, it's because it serves you in some way to be that way."

"What allows you to break the chains to the past is the understanding that how you see everybody in your life is simply a creation of your own mind and they are not really involved in your point of view. This means that your thoughts on a situation may not resemble the actual picture and are often completely unfounded. You have simply allowed your mind to wander off out of control! So don't focus on how you see anybody in your life; just know the truth and become objective in your point of view. In other words, get the bigger picture that says 'none of it really matters' and pull yourself away from them if there is nothing new for you to learn."

"A belief or a philosophy which has been validated by your own personal experience is your personal truth, but without the validation of your personal experience, it is nothing more than somebody else's words. Why would you take the bastardised words of ignorant fishermen as gospel and yet ignore the words of Yeshua's closest disciple and wife (Mary Magdalene) or even the words of his twin brother Thomas? Exercise a degree of intelligence please!"

"It's enough to find resolution for your own emotions without being burdened with somebody else's! Help others with constructive advice by all means but if all you keep getting from them is repetitive dribble then I would suggest you are wasting your time."

"Perfection is a limitation of mind because when something is perfect there is no room for improvement, and therefore such a static state cannot change other than to become imperfect. The minds of perfectionists do not grow because personal change and evolution are driven by the engines of imperfection. God is imperfect and forever evolving and we are here to mirror that. I enjoy humble pie because it means I am growing..."

"Imagine for a moment the magnitude and power of the great oceans and try to think of God as this limited analogy. Now extract several droplets of seawater from the ocean. These droplets are you and I, the sons and daughters of the living cause. How do the droplets differ from the vastness of the ocean? Well, they don't differ in quality or constitution - the sea resides in them. They are, of course, the sea. They do, however, differ in magnitude. Why? Because the individual has become separated from the whole and thus weakened. What happens if we return the droplets to the sea? The individual is now indistinguishable from the whole and becomes the strength of the whole ocean. Our separation from God is only in our own minds and is due to how we have been conditioned to think. Closing the gap and becoming 'one' with God is the seen destiny for mankind."

"We are all gods - every single one of us - no exceptions - nobody is that special to be excluded from this fact. Everything is energy - both seen and unseen - no exceptions - the science of quantum physics has proven that fact. If there is a God, it can only be the source of the energy; indeed, it is the energy, the life force itself. YOU and I are the gods who mould the energy into form (with our minds); we literally create reality from the thought we are thinking! Think about it for a moment - is there anything you see that hadn't first been thought of or is not an evolution from something else?"

"You can't be an entirely truthful being in the presence of your own emotions because your emotions will always try to push you down the road of compromise. They are like the milk from the cow in that they are derived chemically from your brain triggering memories. They have a life of their own, which will always support the perceived needs of your body, and more often than not, those needs compromise a loftier truth in you."

"All problems should be embraced as potentials to become greater. They are really opportunities in disguise. Unmask the problem by looking for the opportunity to expand yourself. You live in a sea of unlimited potentials and you convert these potentials into probabilities simply by you thinking about the events you'd like to experience. The more you focus your thought upon what you desire the more certain it is you will attract it."

"How would you be if you could read everybody's thoughts and they could read yours? Truthful? How are you in the absence of this? Full of lies, withholds and conditioned responses? Imagine what it would be like if the ability of telepathy was universally present. I believe you would see a separation of people, some moving towards super-consciousness and others consumed by their demons."

"Standing up for yourself and saying NO to others is often a great teaching for you and for them. It may not make you popular but it often gets you the respect you deserve for doing it. It's righteous to say no when it feels right to do so, yet many people struggle to say no to others. If your intent is pure then you are never responsible if someone's feelings get hurt. After all, they are their feelings and not yours."

"What is the value of your life if you don't stand up for your truth? Being truthful 100% of the time is a difficult thing to do but it's not impossible! It's what makes you shine amongst the dim lights."

"It will take a long time for Christ consciousness to become popular on this planet because people have many limitations to argue for, and thus a Christ is potentially challenged by the whole world! Yeshua the Christ only became popular when Christians boxed him up and put him into an image they liked and could believe in. To the Christians, he is their poor substitute saviour who never shows up! Why would he? Why would Yeshua waste his time visiting people (he can't save anybody) who don't understand what being a Christ is all about?"

"Let's have a look at RESPONSIBILITY. If you're at the bottom of the pyramid, like me, then you're responsible for yourself, for any young children you support, for how you treat others and for your minor impact upon society. You may accidentally kill one or two patients by giving them the wrong injections, but hey, it's no more than a drop in the ocean in the greater scheme of things. Now let's take a look at the TOP of the pyramid, where the CARETAKERS of this world sit. I'm not talking about President Bush because it's widely known that his vice-president is more powerful than he is. And neither of these men are at the very top of the pyramid anyway. So who is? Who do the politicians visit on expensive yachts and in Greek tavernas? Where are the most important world-meetings held? The international banking families (such as the Rothchilds and Rockefellers) are the real 'string-pullers' in this world, and therefore they are responsible for the economic and ecological mess this planet is in. As my friend would say, 'it's a croc o shit'! I think it's about time these elitist families were held to account for all the atrocities they have engineered - don't you? How many more people are going to suffer at their soulless hands? How much longer will they keep the world afloat with their financial trickery? When will 'plastic' be the only means of payment? When will 'identity chips' be necessary to buy their toxic foods? How many more wars, deadly viruses, so-called terrorist attacks, genocides, business-motivated murders, are they going to orchestrate before people start to wake up and realise who's behind it all? It's all about power and money and control at any cost! The biggest problem in the world today is the controlling consciousness that prevails here. Individuals try to control each other. Governments try to control the individuals. And the soulless tyrants control the governments, the intelligence agencies, the financial sector, the media and the multi-national corporations. It is an anti-Christ consciousness and not the seen future for mankind. It is difficult to swallow the fact that there are individuals upon this planet who put a zero value on human life. What kind of warped psychotic mindset puts the pursuit of power, control and financial gain before life itself? It's simply a mindset that needs to evolve."

"What about them Christians eh? What are they going to do with their lives and how are they going to behave when the only understanding they've got of their beloved saviour is the one their church wants them to know? For Christ sake! His name wasn't even Jesus Christ! Christ was not the surname of Yeshua but IS a consciousness that EVERYONE can attain if they so choose. So how can they live true to their faith? It's simple really. Love is the answer to the last question anybody will ever ask, and as Christ consciousness is all about love, then the answer is simply to live in a loving way... But here's the problem - they don't know how to do this! If Yeshua came into your marketplace, disguised as any image that doesn't fit your image of him, and he overturned your table of wares; you wouldn't see that as a loving act, would you? Equally, if you had a conversation with me and I seemingly 'had a go' at you because I was trying to help you out of a ditch in your limited mind; you wouldn't see that as a loving act either. Can you now see the problem and the opportunity? Love is not what you think it is... Christians are only just beginning to understand that they should be good stewards of the earth (bless), after previously taking the piss out of the eco-warriors by labelling them a bunch of 'loonies'. They're still in nappies and so are their leaders! It comes to something when you've got a politically savvy man who has to run an elaborate campaign and 'sit on the fence' over certain issues just to appease a bunch of religious fanatics, the very votes he needed to get into power. Don't get me wrong here. Some of the good deeds these Christians do are exemplary, but they should also focus on cleaning their ranks of all the paedophiles and those who harbour such sick people; get rid of the old blind men and the man-size choir boys who know didly squit: and stop using Yeshua the Christ as some kind of political football they can kick whichever way serves their cloistered, closed minds. The Christians and guru worshipers of this world need to wake up and grow up in consciousness."

"To create a better life from now on simply make better choices from now on. Your life will always be a testament to the choices you make. Forget about the past - it's not important what happened. Come to peaceful terms with your past; forgive what you think needs to be forgiven, including yourself; bear no grudges; have no regrets; reveal the secrets you've hidden; clear the decks for a powerful creative NOW. In wintertime, it's the time to slumber and dream a new dream that's untainted by the past."

"I love the work of the collective mindset of Abraham, as channelled by Esther Hicks. It's so simple that even the most unconscious person can understand it. The analogy of following your soul by simply allowing yourself to 'go with your natural flow' is so beautiful. The problem is, as Abraham puts it, we resist our natural flow with 'habits of thought'. It doesn't matter what terminology you use (habits of thought; resistance; demons; limitations; necromancers; dark forces; mind-parasites; genetic mindset; bands of emotion; mind control; mental conditioning; controlling patterns - the way I am etc.) it all amounts to the same thing. What you seem to be compelled to do, is causing you to paddle hard against your natural flow - you're facing upstream fighting the current! Why feed your demons? Where are they coming from? Identify/retire; identify/retire... You are not here to be dutiful, nor are you here to be loyal, nor are you here to work hard, nor are you here to show gratitude. You are not accountable to anybody, responsible for anybody or owe anybody anything. But if you think you are, then you're paddling against your natural godly flow. There was never a mandate for hard work; especially slaving for others! The only mandate was and is creation. YOU are here to create, so BE creative! If you want to serve then don't single out an individual but serve everybody. And let me serve you as I am doing; for there is no greater honour. I accept my equality with all beings, and that's why I could never worship another individual but could only worship everyone. If somebody requires you to bow or curtsy to them, to serve or worship them or even to kiss their feet; then they just show their ignorance because they obviously haven't understood the equality of all of us in God. You would be very wise to remove your services from such a mindset."

"Why would you want to run other people down? Is it to make you seem better than them or superior? Why would you even want to talk about other people? Has your life become that boring that it's just a reflection of those soaps you watch? Do you know that gossip is evidence of a backward consciousness?"

"The greatest challenge in life is not climbing the most difficult peak or riding the highest wave or winning something or setting a new record. The world may call these people heroes and even geniuses (if they can also talk about themselves with some clarity!) but they are just adrenaline junkies. Don't get me wrong here, I appreciate great talent and the personal challenges people have to overcome to deliver it; especially when it's delivered modestly. As I write this I'm listening to the angelic voice of Leona Lewis, from her aptly named album Spirit. Without doubt, genius is not mediocrity, but neither is it intellectual prowess or beating somebody else's physical feat. It is the ability to captivate great knowledge in an original, simple form. The greatest challenge in life is to become (be) your real self. It is gradually becoming more and more aware of your illusionary self, the alteredness of your ego (altered-ego), and retirng it. It is living your life consciously and polishing yourself until you shine like the deity you really are."

"Understand the real reasons why you do what you do in your life, they are often shallower than you think! And when you do understand why you do what you do, either give it up or do it to the best of your ability; but please don't short change yourself with a half-hearted effort. It doesn't have to be perfect because that is yet another limitation! Just change it into a sterling effort with the purest intent."

"Ideals in and of themselves can be motivating 'mind constructs' but ideals of perfection can be dangerous, indeed, they can be deadly. Nothing is perfect, everything is just the way it is. If we ever reached a state of perfection we wouldn't grow and that's not how we are. We always grow from the engines of imperfection and never reach perfection, which would only mean death. No aspect of life is perfect, so to strive for perfection is in error; indeed, it is a limitation of mind.
Nobody knows you better than you do. You are the 'expert' on your life, it is YOU. Many may claim to know better and to know what is best for you but how much of that is a big ego or the limited mind of a 'perfectionist tyrant'? Don't listen to them but trust in yourself - only you really know what's best for you.
You can deliver safely. Make clear the passage for the 2nd coming. You have been given a second chance with her. The captain of the jumbo jet had to dive below the interference of his emotional mind to be clear and save his passengers. He didn't care about having the perfect landing; it was enough for him that he got his plane down and they all landed safely."

"You are not here to be acceptable to others or to get approval of your life from them. You are only here to understand yourself and in doing so you get to understand others. Equally, you are not here to 'fit in' with other people nor is it necessary for you to 'get on' with certain people. You'll be happier if you live your own truth rather than living for others."

"Unconditional love and objective mind are the same thing. You only get to truly love when you can see the bigger picture and you act accordingly. Certainly this will leave you 'out in the cold' in certain quarters, but by the time you reach this level of mind you will already know this from your own experiences."

"If you can listen to and watch yourself in your life then what part of you is listening and observing? It is like you now sitting at your computer; do not confuse yourself with it! Your most important organ is your brain, without it you couldn't operate your body. But is that what you are - your brain? Be clear about this - you're not the biological machine; you're the operator of it."

"Religion is not about the teachings of a Christ; it is about Power, Money and Control. And multinational corporations are on the same runaway train as religion. The train is called the Anti-Christ and it's leaving..."

"We are intelligent energy surrounding intelligent energy, with limited personal expression due to our own attitudes, which are both in-bred and the result of mind-accumulation that keeps getting environmentally triggered. Said another way, we are spirit & soul surrounding body & personality; the latter being dominant and the outward expression of our attitudes and our habitual behaviour. Originally, our body & personality grew out of our spirit & soul (for a divine purpose); but we got confused by identifying ourselves with the former instead of the latter - a mistaken identity and the reason we are known by enlightened beings as the forgotten gods. The body and its emotionally-based personality are closely related. At best, a health-conscious personality can add a few years of life to its vehicle, but ultimately they cannot save each other. Ironically, it is this personality that final brings down the body. So what is Christ consciousness? Well work it out for yourself! If a Christ is a being who has the mind to be able to make the body immortal then obviously he/she has to destroy that which destroys the body! Christ consciousness is the complete removal of the personality’s emotional-hooks into the body. It is effectively the death of the lower personality; it is the death of body-emotional-mind consciousness. What comprises the nature of this personality? It is competitive, defensive, manipulative, aggressive, controlling, jealous, envious, better than, superior/inferior, more/less important, greed, self-interest, self-importance, mean, deceitful, ulterior motives, judgmental, punishing, liar, cheat, etcetera. Indeed, it is all the unloving aspects that arise from the illusion of separation. Christ consciousness, on the other hand, is the full personal realisation of the highest truth and the simultaneous resurrection of the true self-identity."

"I have come to realise that Christhood, Ascension, Wisdom and Enlightenment are not goals or desires for us to focus upon but are natural occurrences of a life well-lived. Also, they are not qualities that are going to arrive on a cosmic wave of positivity and bestow us all with paranormal abilities, as many dubious 'channelers' would have us believe. Indeed, ascension is the natural progression for one who has emotionally detached from this environment and emotional detachment is the result of wisdom gleaned by one who has lived for that purpose. Equally, being a Christ is BEING it - it is living in an impeccable way. I can write about this stuff until the cows come home but it doesn't help me in any way and I question whether it helps you. Equally, it doesn't matter how I feel or how you feel because 'being' is not a feeling - it is an ACTION. How I interact with others and how you interact with others is the indicator of our Being. Everybody has the potential to show us who we are, so that’s why we don’t need to look any further."

"One could argue that the most subtle mastery of all is the mastery over one's fantasy life. One could also argue that the most subtle mastery of all is identifying one's programs and choosing to move beyond them, which can be very difficult when they are the main source of one's pleasure. One could also argue that the most subtle mastery of all is untangling the true self from its altered expression here. Everytime one presses the 'I' button (the god button) on the computer keyboard, the words that occupy the same sentence, will automatically become reality (providing they are not nullified by the same process or opposed subconsciously).
Listen to your conversations and you will get to know how easily and how frequently you subvert yourself. A super-conscious person never says anything derogatory about themselves or about others. Indeed, they do not participate in social-conscious chatter because they understand how critical their spoken word is to their reality."

"Don't you worry about 'where you are at' on your spiritual journey - just 'know' you are on the correct path and keep walking forwards. If you're trekking through a jungle and you've been given a map by great beings who have already completed the passage, then just be grateful to them for giving you the map! It doesn't matter how slow your progress seems to be or where you are on your path; all that matters is that you keep focussed on your journey and keep walking towards your deepest desire."

"Never ever give in! You have life and that's precious - make the most of it. Even if it means walking away from everybody and everything - you're worth it! Very often it's better for your soul for you to leave all those old memories behind and not look back. And sometimes that necessitates a physical upheaval but more often than not it just requires you to change because wherever you go you will always take you with you. You can never escape your own mind; you can only train it to be greater."

What's beautiful about this work is no matter who reads it, they will find themselves in it. The purpose of it is to provoke thought and to get people to question, because when people question, they are on the brink of enlightenment. It matters not where my words are coming from; all that matters is whether or not they stir a feeling in you, the reader. You can know other people by their personality but you can never know what their soul harbours, and thus what they need to hear in order to grow.

Lofty thoughts are the precursors to new experiences and greater truths will often follow. These quotes are proving to be like small stepping stones for many curious souls. That's why it's so beautiful when you share them. Every one of them that goes out over the internet is like a small ripple upon a huge pond. It's like we're all trying to climb a huge stepped pyramid - let's give each other a hand by spreading this...
And finally, my book has the same purpose but obviously there is so much more in it than I could possibly encapsulate here. All the very best to you - Gary.

P.S. If you would like a word doc. of these quotes, which you can circulate to your friends and contacts, then just email me and ask for it.
