Quote by Elke Heinrich

“Peace on earth: It begins within ourselves. It is a decision that must be made by us, again and again. Am I trying to be "right" or loving? Am I feeding the fear or the vision of happiness? It is so infinitely easy to be led into the hell of the internal war by your doubts and real experiences. But I don't have to do it. I can choose to open my fists! I can choose instead to focus on my dreams; visions of kindness, understanding, compassion and loving joy.”

“You are a three-part being - body, mind and spirit - and you never, ever are anything less or anything else. As you move from the metaphysical to the physical and back again, you simply disintegrate and reintegrate these aspects of Who You Are. To help you understand how such a thing is possible, think of what you call "white light". This is actually a combination of lights of different wave-lenghts in the electromagnetic spectrum. If you send white light through a dispersive prism, you will see its spectral colors, which are its constituent parts. Now think of physicality as the "prism" of Ultimate Reality. When the soul passes through the prism into physicality, it breaks into its constituent parts: body, mind and spirit. When it passes back through the prism the other way - or as humans put it, when you "pass away" - the soul becomes one element again. That one element is You.”

“Professionals suggest that when you feel stressed, you should retreat to a "Happy Place" in your mind. I agree. On my way there though, I usually stop at the "You got one mo time" place, and visit the "Lawd don't let me lay hands on this fool" spot, and I always slide through the "Oh hayl nah!" joint in that neighborhood. By the time I get to the "Happy Place" I'm to worn the heck out to enjoy it!”

“War Survivors In case some of you still don’t know The most important thing about war survivors, which is: Nobody survives a war! That the winners are the biggest losers in wars, Because to win a war, you must lose your humanity… And when you lose the human inside you, What remains? Therefore, my friends, The humanity of those who lose a war may be broken, But that of the winners is totally lost… And I confess to you, sometimes I don’t know which is more merciful: To lose your humanity or to live broken in a shattered world?
