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.”

“We can either fear the storm because we’re attempting to HOLD ON to the things that it’s blowing away or we can trust the storm because it’s showing us how to LET GO of the things that don’t serve us. Nothing REAL can be lost.”

“All we can really say is that things happen and when they do we filter them through what’s already happening inside ourselves – whether we’re aware of that or not - and then either move towards the truth about things or away from it.”

“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).”

“If we play an active role in becoming REAL, we’ll look back at how far we’ve come and be proud of the journey; if we play a passive role and just let things happen, then we’ll look back with regret at what we think we ‘lost’.”

“In general, we’re all so much stronger than we tend to believe we are – when you lean into ACCEPTANCE instead of resistance of a situation, then you can always turn it into something that reveals your strengths instead of something that feeds into your illusions of weakness.”

“When we’re HIGH on life, then it’s because we have managed to strip away and let go of all of the barriers within ourselves that hold us back from life’s pure signal; when we’re LOW on life (at rock bottom), then it’s because we stopped listening for so long that life stripped those barriers away and forced us to listen.”

“If we can do things to want nothing, do nothing, and become nothing whilst filling ourselves completely with life, then it’s probably pretty REAL; if we’re doing it to want ‘more’, do ‘more’, and become ‘more’, then we might be lapsing into being UNREAL.”

“We may wish and beg life to “let this cup pass from me” but, eventually, it will come to the point where we have to drink from it if we want to save our sanity and so all we can do is TRUST, take a sip, and know that we will ultimately find our realness at the bottom of the cup.”

“The ultimate barometer for what’s actually going on inside you is to reverse engineer your unconscious intentions by the RESULTS you consistently keep getting and the current state of your life – not by what you consistently keep telling yourself.”

“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).”
