“No matter how fulfilling life feels now, the tides can shift in an instant. In the end, we are left with only the moments that pass us by, and no one but ourselves to hold onto.”
“A flame can create many shadows and each one will depend on the flame to survive. However, the flame without its shadows loses its meaning, for to enlighten is to create shadows. We then confuse the meaning for its creation, and attach ourselves to the shadows we create, when in fact we should pay attention to the flame creating them. For the flame can create many shadows but the shadows can only be that which the flame allows them to be. There can be many shadows created by a flame but a shadow can only be a shadow.”

“A personality is dynamic. You will have many pulls and pushes, and impulses, driving you towards different elements in your life and forcing you to make choices during your existence on Earth. Some choices will be more related to your need to belong, others with your need for financial security and some others related to sexual impulses. But only the spiritual impulse can make you successful and happy. How to recognize it? Well, that is, quite simply, the impulse to make connections that last, changes that change you in return and as much as you should change in the right direction, and above all, it is found in the inner impulse towards the recognition of love. The consequences of refusing this spiritual dynamic are found in disappointment, loneliness, despair and a whole wasted lifetime that can't be recovered and opportunities that will never be seen again. As you grow older, and your timing on Earth gets shorter, only an increased sense of spiritual self can help you recover whatsoever seemed lost in a miraculous way.”

“After many years of mind programming ourselves with social beliefs, we end up accepting destiny and becoming what others expect us to be, even though we're unhappy about it. We then come to the realization that self-determinism can only be a choice for those who have self-awareness.”
