Famous Oli Anderson Quotes

“If you feel prolonged friction, frustration, and even misery then there are probably some steps you need to take but you’re resisting because of your ego ‘stuff’ and the way that it resists and distorts what’s real. Trust and take the steps anyway.”

“The more bullshit we have in our lives, the more unreal we’re being with ourselves.”

“Your Shadow isn’t a ‘thing’ or even a ‘place’ but a relationship that you have with certain parts of yourself that you’ve hidden. By improving this relationship, you can improve your life.”

“A ‘Victim’ is highly unlikely to embrace gratitude and the idea that everything is a gift or blessing because they haven’t learned the necessary lessons from their ‘negative’ experiences and so their ego rests on the idea that life is the opposite of a blessing – a curse – in many ways. This isn’t because life actually is a ‘curse’ but because the Victim needs this to be the case so they can keep being what they think they need to be (not who they really are).”

“When you don’t trust life and so you start testing it and looking for signs, then you’re not really testing life (because the truth can’t be tested – it just is) – you’re just testing your own ability to be selective with your attention and to tell your unconscious mind to keep a look out for things that could potentially mean something (based on your own criteria of what’s ‘meaningful’ which is almost based on your relationship between your ego and your shadow).”

“To really free ourselves and live our Shadow Lives, we have to be able to not just remove the mask we’ve been wearing but to look at the monster that hides beneath it and learn to love it.”
