Famous Claudys Kantara Quotes

“Never ever apologize for speaking the truth when standing against injustice and human-imposed suffering, even if your job is at stake. It is not worth it to trade the nobility of your soul and your self-respect for a job that could be replaced. Be true to yourself.”

“Question your rulers when they seek wars in foreign lands, when their priorities appear to be serving other than the national interest, when their citizens’ welfare doesn’t make it to their top list... (...) Question them and do not be afraid, for they live the good life from your hard work and sacrifices that have brought them to their thrones of power. Question them and also yourselves, for if their actions defy their promises to serve, and their deeds challenge your moral and human values, you should stand up for what is just and right.”

“It took centuries for the justice system in modern history to adopt the law of the Presumption of Innocence from ancient Babylonia. It is past due that we humans do as well, adopting it as a principle of moral values in our personal and social life.”

“We could be spiritual without necessarily being religious, but we can’t possibly be religious without being spiritual; otherwise, we would be missing the essence of religion, regardless of which one we practice. Without spirituality, there is no connection to the Higher Power, whom we call God or the Universe. And without that precious connection with The Divine, we would be just practicing rituals and traditions set by our ancestors at a particular time in history.”

“With loneliness and solitude comes a peaceful sense of Self that has been much misunderstood, for we are not genuinely alone when with our Self only. We are, however, when we are not seen or heard while surrounded by people, when we are not understood and hence dismissed by those we care to communicate with, and when we cease to exist to our date or friend(s) or family members the time it gets them to focus on incoming messages and calls. A heavy feeling engulfs us then and every time like a dark cloud and makes us ache to be back home to our more friendly solitude.”

“The first, second, and third thing we, humans of society, do when meeting others is always to perceive them based on their gender or sex, and also color. And we do so with the prejudicial package that we carry. It is as if that is all that matters to us, first and foremost, not the human.”

“What would the Space serve humanity if our home is shaking in its foundation, built and maintained throughout history by ancestors adamant to segregate, discriminate, and divide? For what future do all these new technologies mean when we keep challenging the Oneness of our own human race?”

“Spoken words can be more potent than those written or unsaid, not just because of their meanings or the tone in which we utter them, but because of their magnetic energy, which is not to be dismissed as minimal or irrelevant. That energy is like a spell of a kind, impacting or influencing and disrupting or uplifting the person, the place, or the situation at the receiving end.”

“You can’t look up to the heavens in prayers or meditation without standing firm on the ground of reality. It is called being grounded, a reality of our beautiful human condition. Dismissing it is not a choice you can afford, none of us can.”

“There is an unseen dynamic world in and around us that scientists have only just started to scratch its surface. It is a massive web of energy that interconnects us all, and all that is, for the best and the worst, and in between.”

“When asked who you are, never say “I am nobody.” And never believe it, even for a moment and even in the secret of your thoughts, for you are not your job, status, assets, bank account, or the lack of them all. You are neither just a body, let alone a no body. Whether you realize it or not, you contribute to life and your surroundings just by existing, for you are a being with a soul and an energy field, silently yet impactfully intermingling with those around you at all times.”
