Quote by Raymond D. Longoria Jr.

“Mind, Body, Soul, can be likened to a house. A vacant house falls into ruin much more quickly than one that is called home and is lived in.”

“God is not a 'He', yet 'he' is a part of God. 'God is', any word that follows 'God is' is mostly error, and for that matter, every word that follows 'God is' is partially correct, since every word is a way of partially describing the Whole. But no one word could ever do that, or even ALL the words could never describe God. If ALL the words could never describe the experience of tasting salt, which they can't, then it is folly to think that words could ever be an accurate description of the Creator of salt. The only way to know salt is to experience it personally, and that experience will be one of a kind, it will be yours. Creation can't be put in a box, no matter how big we try to make that box, it will always be too small.”

“Religions mistakenly consider advise/warnings from books of wisdom to be commandments, there are no commandments, no one has ever been commanded by Creation. However, there is Love. If I saw you walking towards a cliff that you did not know was there, would it be wrong of me, in pure LOVE, to warn you? ALL of the books of wisdom are simply that and are meant for us to take from them what we understand, can use, and leave the rest, they are meant to be revisited many times. If I gave you the gift of a warm blanket during the hot summer months, the pure Joy of the gift could not be realized until the winter came. Wisdom is like that, sometimes it is looked at in the summer and so we only find the summer parts useful, but if we revisit wisdom in the winter, we'll pick up many things that were left behind on our previous visit. Religion is a tool that can help one begin Spiritual discipline. Unfortunately many begin to think of the tool of religion as their God. Like any tool, once it is no longer useful, it must be set down in order to free the hand for picking up the next useful tool. Religion as a tool is useful until it isn't. Religion as a God is a cruel and destructive thing that brings much despair.”

“Somewhere down the winding road that leads through the valley of Love, Wisdom and Understanding, you'll realize that you're truly ready, that you've grown so much, that fear is a fading memory because of the Faith that has taken its place. You'll know when this happens because you will find yourself fully grateful and accepting of EVERYTHING that you have ever experienced, you will feel comfortable in your skin, comfortable in silence having no need for wasteful distractions. You'll realize that you trust, and are no longer desperate for ANYTHING except to serve in the raising up of your fellow beings.”

“Начинът, по който ме пита дали му вярвам, сякаш моето доверие е най-важното нещо в целия му свят ме карат да се чувствам като най-специалното същество на планетата и не мисля много, преди да му отговоря. - Вярвам ти. И аз също те обичам. Целуваме се. Бавно и страстно, сякаш имаме цялото време на света. Притегля ме по-близо към себе си и аз зарявам пръсти в косата му, изолирайки всичко останало, сякаш всяко нещо извън нас и този момент е изкривена фантазия, а не реалност. После устните му се местят от моите, надолу по шията ми, по раменете ми. Притискам лице във врата му, така че да усетя аромата му и се замислям, че на света няма по-съвършено усещане. Всяка болка, всеки страх и всяка заплаха си струват момента и няма нещо, което да може да ме убеди в обратното.”

“I cling to him, wishing I could ease his pain. I wish I could take his burdens and make them mine. "It's weird, isn't it?" he says. "What is?" "If we were naked right now, I'd be dead." "Shut up," I say, laughing against his chest. We're both wearing long sleeves, long pants. As long as my face and hands don't touch his skin, he's perfectly safe. "Well, it's true." "In what alternate universe would I ever be naked with you?" "I am just saying," he says. "Shit happens. You never know." "I think you need a girlfriend." "Nah," he says. "I just need a hug from my friend." I lean back to look at him. Try to read his eyes. "You're my best friend, Kenji. You know that, right?" "Yeah, kid." He grins at me. "I do. And I can't believe I got stuck with your skinny ass.”

“Thus I set off at a venture, having no resource but in the Lord's mercy and faithfulness; and, indeed, what other can we wish for? Presently my subject opened; and I know not when I have been favoured with more liberty. Why do I tell you this? Only as an instance of His goodness, to encourage you to put your strength in Him, and not to be afraid even when you feel your own weakness and insufficiency most sensibly. We are never more safe, never have more reason to expect the Lord's help, than when we are most sensible that we can do nothing without Him.”
