“You, Beloved Soul, are made of light. The moment you were born the angels cheered as your beautiful soul came into this world. You came into this life to be a vessel of great love. It is not important that you achieve perfection or greatness. Rather, allow your spirit to dance with sweet inspiration and goodness. Whenever possible, sow seeds of kindness, love and encouragement into the world. Help other souls to blossom awake to their own gifts and abilities. And shine love. That is to truly live.” ~Laurel Bleadon-Maffei, Illuminating Souls
“There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.” ~Walt Whitman
“This country assumes that if someone is poor, they are poor because of their own individual blight, or because they weren’t born on the right side of town, or they had too many children, or went in the army too early, or because their father was a drunk, or they didn’t care about school–they made a mistake. That’s a lot of nonsense. Poverty is well calculated in this country, and the reason why the poverty program won’t work is because the calculators of poverty are administering it.” ~ Stokely Carmichael (1966)
“It doesn’t change when we stare at it from across the room. It doesn’t change when we sit in prayer and imagine good things. It doesn’t change when we skirt the edges of the shadow. It changes when we cross the sacred battleground willing to die to our truth. It changes when we look the lie in the eye until it has nowhere left to hide. It changes when we pick up the sword of transformation and cut the falsity until it bleeds. The era of the sacred activist is upon us. Not the warrior run amok, but the benevolent warrior who fights for our right to the light. Not the whining complaining warrior, but the one who actually takes action. Some wars are worth fighting.” ~Jeff Brown

“The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many. The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force.” ~Michael Parenti, Against Empire
“And the turtles, of course…all the turtles are free, as turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.” ~ Dr. Seuss
“Take time together, to look at the obstacles, the fear, the pervasive places in your consciousness where yet you believe that a patriarchal consciousness is ‘still’ your authority and is ‘still’ the authority of the world. Look not to see who sits in the seats of your government. Remember the power is not out there unless you give it away.” ~The Jeshua Transcripts: The Divine Feminine
“We sense that ‘normal’ isn’t coming back, that we are being born into a new normal: a new kind of society, a new relationship to the earth, a new experience of being human.” ~ Charles Eisenstein
“Your mind is right now filled with old thoughts. Not only old thoughts, but mostly someone else’s old thoughts. It’s important now, it’s time now, to change your mind about some things. This is what evolution is all about.” ~Neale Donald Walsch
