"If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation."~Lao Tzu

Let me, tonight look back across the span
Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say-
Because of some good act to beast or human-
The world is better that I lived today.

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its
Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is
but a name for Law not recognized; there are many
planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."-The
Kybalion

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its
tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing
manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to
the right is the measure of the swing to the left;
rhythm compensates."- The Kybalion.

Richard Bach's Quotes

You are led through your lifetime by the inner
learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is
your real self.

Don't turn away from possible futures before you're
certain
you don't have anything to learn from them.

You're always free to change your mind
and choose a different future, or a different past.

- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"




Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're
yours.


- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"




Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to
yourself.
Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only
impossible, but the mark of a false messiah.


- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"




The simplest questions are the most profound.


Where were you born?
Where is your home?
Where are you going?
What are you doing?

Think about these once in awhile, and watch your
answers change.

- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"




You are never given a wish without being given
the power to make it true.

You may have to work for it, however.


- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"




Every person, all the events of your life, are there
because you have drawn them there.

What you choose to do with them is up to you.


- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"




Your friends will know you better in the first minute
you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a
thousand years.


- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"




A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a
direction and at such a speed, it feels an
impulsion....this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reason and the patterns behind
all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift
yourself high enough to see beyond horizons..


- from "Illusions, The Adventures of a Reluctant
Messiah"

"love is...the end result" - susan lynne schwenger

The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel
go nowhere, slowly.
Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection
go anywhere, instantly.


- from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"

For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but
eating.
For this gull, though, it was not eating that
mattered, but flight.


- from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"

If our friendship depends on things like space and
time, then when we finally overcome space and time,
we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome
space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time,
and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here
and Now, don't you think that we might see each other
once or twice?


- from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull

The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel
go nowhere, slowly. Those who put aside travel for the
sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly.


- from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"

That's what learning is, after all; not whether we
lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed
because of it and what we take away from it that we
never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in
a curious way, is winning.


- from "The Bridge Across Forever"

If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility
for it.
If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always
be its victim.

- from "Running From Safety"

Can miles truly separate us from friends?
If you want to be with Rae, aren't you already there?

- from "There' No Such Place As Far Away"

You have no birthday because you have always lived;
you were never born, and never will die. You are not
the child of the people you call mother and father,
but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to
understand the things that are.

- from "There' No Such Place As Far Away

Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across
forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in
the midst of the one celebration that never can end.

- from "There' No Such Place As Far Away"

Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing
as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such
a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may
not see it all real clear right now, but we will,
before long.

- from "Nothing By Chance"

"Will you teach your children what we have taught our

children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls

the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know:

the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.

~Chief Seattle~

"Healthy feet can hear the very heart of Holy Earth."

~Chief Sitting Bull~

What is life?

"It is the flash of the firefly in the night.

It is the breath of the buffalo in the winter time.

It is the little shadow which runs across the

grass and loses itself in the sunset."

~Blackfoot~

(On his death bed, 1890)

"Trace your walk...Feel satisfaction in knowing the

end of the rainbow you have looked for can be found

at the toe of your moccasin after realizing who

we are... and what we have."



~John "Eagle Spirit" Campbell, Chief~

"One thing we know: Our God is also your God. The

earth is precious to Him and to harm the earth is to

heap contempt on it's Creator."

~Chief Seattle~

"...I am getting old and have witnessed for many years your increase in wealth and power while the steady consuming decline of my tribe admonishes me that extinction is inevitable."

~ Waun-na-con ~ a.k.a. John Quinney (Mahican)
