“Ask her what she craved, and she’d get a little frantic about things like books, the woods, music. Plants and the seasons. Also freedom.” ~Charles Frazier
“The sword of the peaceful warrior is love.” ~Gary Amirault

“And what my mother meant by saying that you can’t eat beauty, is that you can’t rely on beauty to sustain you. What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul… ” ~Lupita Nyong’o
“During the peeling away of the ego… you will feel lost. You will begin to wonder who you are. The You, you “thought” you were, was based on illusion. The illusion of who you thought you should be; based on the distorted beliefs of your friends and family and the projections of the mass consciousness. The old you; the inauthentic self dissolves. You may experience grief, sorrow, confusion, despair and extreme sadness as the darkness from your soul (ego/shadow self) is integrated with more LIGHT from the higher self so the beauty of your truth can be revealed. This is oftentimes called the “dark night of the soul”. It is a process of soul alchemy where our lead (darkness) is transmuted into the gold (christ consciousness) of our higher awareness. It takes courage and faith to embark on the journey of soul alchemy, which is really the ascension of the soul. Nurture and love your SELF as you go through this process.” ~Sabrina
“No ideology can help to create a new world or a new mind or a new human being — because ideological orientation itself is the root cause of all the conflicts and all the miseries. Thought creates boundaries, thought creates divisions and thought creates prejudices; thought itself cannot bridge them. That’s why all ideologies fail. Now man must learn to live without ideologies religious, political or otherwise. When the mind is not tethered to any ideology, it is free to move to new understandings. And in that freedom flowers all that is good and all that is beautiful.” ~ Osho
“Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours.” ~Cesar Chavez
“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” ~Thích Nhất Hạnh
Art by Christian Schloe
“In Shamanic understanding, all words are spells. Everything we think or say cascades into reality. When I repeat to myself the thought that I’m not that smart, or beautiful, or deserving, I’m literally cursing myself. Those thoughts go out into the world and bring me situations and outcomes that prove the thoughts. Let’s watch our words today and become aware of how words affect our bodies and our lives.” ~Mia Genis
“Our purpose is to consciously, deliberately evolve toward a wiser, more liberated and luminous state of being; to return to Eden, make friends with the snake, and set up our computers among the wild apple trees. Deep down, all of us are probably aware that some kind of mystical evolution – a melding into the godhead, into love – is our true task. Yet we suppress the notion with considerable force because to admit it is to acknowledge that most of our political gyrations, religious dogmas, social ambitions and financial ploys are not merely counterproductive but trivial. Our mission is to jettison those pointless preoccupations and take on once again the primordial cargo of inexhaustible ecstasy.” ~ Tom Robbins
