“You cannot find your soul with your mind, you must use your heart. You must know what you are feeling. If you don’t know what you are feeling, you will create unconsciously.” ~Gary Zukav
“It is not until you awaken and become fully present that you will realize that you have not been present. It is not until you awaken that you will realize you have been asleep, dreaming that you are awake.” ~ Leonard Jacobson
“We are either going to have a future where women lead the way to make peace with the Earth or we are not going to have a human future at all.” ~ Dr. Vandana Shiva, Physicist and Environmental Activist
“As we awaken from the repressions of the patriarchy we need to reclaim the sacred feminine both for our individual spirituality and for the well being of the planet. Our ecological devastation points to a culture that has forgotten the sacredness of the earth and the divine mother, as well as denied the feminine’s deep understanding of the wholeness and interconnectedness of all of life. And our individual life, so often caught in addictions and starved of real meaning, has a hunger to reconnect with the soul, which has always had a feminine quality. And linking our own journey and that of the world is the ancient feminine figure of the World Soul, the Anima Mundi, the spiritual presence within creation.” ~Llewellyn Vaughn Lee
We can only be what we give ourselves power to be.
It is unfortunate when someone fails us, but it isn’t as bad as when we fail ourselves. The minute we make a mistake or fall short, we begin to condemn ourselves. How could we have been so dumb, so inept, so careless? We are victims by our own mouths. It is too easy to make a habit of thinking we are second-rate, not quite equal to others. If we say it enough times, we think it, and it feeds down into our hearts to surface again when we don’t need it. Who can love us if we do not love ourselves? Who will build us up if we are busy tearing us down? Confidence is winning over self – not others. But we have to stir up the gift that is within us, see that we appreciate all the small things we can do well. We can only be what we give ourselves power to be.

“The eyes are useless when the mind is blind.” ~ unknown
“The first man who, having enclosed a piece of land, thought of saying “This is mine” and found people simple enough to believe him, was the true founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders; how much misery and horror the human race would have been spared if someone had pulled up the stakes and filled in the ditch and cried out to his fellow men: “Beware of listening to this imposter. You are lost if you forget that the fruits of the earth belong to everyone and that the earth itself belongs to no one!” ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“When you cheer for the erosion of Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs rights, you’re cheering for the erosion of your own.” ~Glenn Greenwald
So true. We need to keep our eyes open in awareness, question everything, and turn off the T.V.
