“When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing… You can’t defend yourself when you’re militarily occupying someone else’s land. That’s not defense. Call it what you like, it’s not defense.” ~ Noam Chomsky

“Ego… he’s a clever little tricky devil. Has you believing all sorts of things… some good, but most bad. His agenda? To keep you distracted so you fail to look inward and notice your true Self, which is infinite, formless, invisible, everywhere. You are the un-manifested and the ego is a temporary manifestation. You have confused the two. Be clear which is you… as you move toward ego you feel more fear and confusion… as you move toward pure consciousness, “your timeless, infinite center”, you feel more love and peace.” ♥ Michael Jeffreys

“We are witnessing in our day the birth of a new age, with a new structure of freedom and justice. Now, as we face the fact of this new, emerging world, we must face the responsibilities that come along with it. A new age brings with it new challenges…First, we are challenged to rise above the narrow confines of our individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. The new world is a world of geographical togetherness. This means that no individual or nation can live alone. We must all learn to live together, or we will be forced to die together…Through our scientific genius we have made of the world a neighborhood; now through our moral and spiritual genius we must make of it brotherhood. We are all involved in the single process. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. We are all links in the great chain of humanity…We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The understanding that “what I do to myself, I do to all’’ has never been widespread. But it is exactly this understanding that is growing in humanity as the world now sees the effects globally. Within dying structures and systems, we start to see the underlying unity, the commonality. What is left when all else passes away is what is true, constant, steady and reliable. Our task now is not to dwell any further on what has been, but to look with fresh eyes at what we have learned and where we go from here.” Jeddah Mali

“When we judge other people we’re putting them in a box, but this desire to judge comes from a box that we’ve put ourselves in first. Our relationship with others is a reflection of our relationship with ourselves. We’re not here to judge anything, we’re here to go beyond our limits. A very powerful and serving practice right now to shift our lives and in turn the world, is to let go of judgement in all forms. When we learn to stop judging ourselves and our own experiences, we can truly learn to see the beauty and the interconnectedness that we all share in this amazing journey!” ~Collective Evolution

When we judge other people we're putting them in a box, but this desire to judge comes from a box that we've put ourselves in first. Our relationship with others is a reflection of our relationship with ourselves. We're not here to judge anything, we're here to go beyond our limits. A very powerful and serving practice right now to shift our lives and in turn the world, is to let go of judgement in all forms. When we learn to stop judging ourselves and our own experiences, we can truly learn to see the beauty and the interconnectedness that we all share in this amazing journey!

“Another way to access the field of pure potentiality is through the practice of non-judgment. Judgment is the constant evaluation of things as right or wrong, good or bad. When you are constantly evaluating, classifying, labeling, analyzing, you create a lot of turbulence in your internal dialogue. This turbulence constricts the flow of energy between you and the field of pure potentiality. You literally squeeze the “gap” between thoughts.

The gap is your connection to the field of pure potentiality. It is that state of pure awareness, that silent space between thoughts, that inner stillness that connects you to true power. And when you squeeze the gap, you squeeze your connection to the field of pure potentiality and infinite creativity.

There is a prayer in A Course in Miracles that states, “Today I shall judge nothing that occurs.” Non-judgment creates silence in your mind. It is a good idea, therefore, to begin your day with that statement.” ~Deepak Chopra
