“I can trust this world, because it is an illusion. The world is not real like it appears to be. The world is a temporary and changing appearance brought about through the power of desire. This is why I can trust the world. As I fine-tune my desire, ensuring that the power of desire is behind only the purpose to awaken, the world and the mysterious force that is behind it, responds by answering the call of my one true desire. I know this to be true.” ~ Regina Dawn Akers

“It is only when your awareness reaches the heart that great progress from your practice is possible.” ~ Michael Langford

“Oftentimes, when we get into a period of confusion and distortion, it is simply because we have generated too much space to think too much about ourselves and our circumstances and we get all wrapped up in out-of-alignment thinking.” ~ Bentinho Massaro

“You cannot help the world from a place of biased perception. In order to truly tap into a higher state of love and service, you need to be able to let go of your own opinion and see the full range of points of view available in any given scenario. When you can see from many different points of view and understand them all, you have attained a higher level of unbiased perception and a finer balance of Love and Wisdom, from which your service can be pure and true.” ~ Bentinho Massaro

“The degree to which you are ready to trust is the degree to which you will accelerate.” ~ Bentinho Massaro

“Many spiritual seekers who say their wish is to awaken don’t actually want what they believe they do. This becomes clear sometimes at the approach to the brink of what feels like a void, where the obliteration of the egoic self seems imminent. With a shocked recognition of what is being asked, the person will recoil. The scale of the loss–the dissolution of the familiar self–is beyond what was bargained for.” ~ Jan Frazier

“Remove the heavy clothing of your self-definition. You are not woman, you are not American, you are not son, you are not spiritual seeker, executive, teacher, unemployed, you are not wounded, you are not highly respected, you are not productive, you are not blah-blah-blah-blah.” ~ Jan Frazier

“Fully forgive someone you’ve been mad at or annoyed by. See them as Love. See them as an equal and full-bodied expression of the One Infinite Creator that made you too. Pick someone now and forgive them untill you smile with love in your heart.” ~ Bentinho Massaro

“If you tell yourself there is a path you need to travel, that it will take time to get where you want to go–that there is a distance between you and the fully realized state–then the path can become a way of holding liberation at arm’s length.”
~ Jan Frazier

“There are many kinds of knowledge, only one of them worth everything, only one of them not subject to opinion or degree or damage. If you come to that, you will know what I mean. If you don’t, listen to someone who has.” ~ Jan Frazier
