Quote by Joshua David Stone

“Part of owning your power is being a spiritual warrior in life. The will to live is really the will to fight. Yoga teaches that life is not only a school but also a battlefield. You are trying to get to the top of a mountain. Progress entails taking three steps forward and slipping back two until the top is reached. This is the nature of life for everyone on the spiritual path. The most important thing is not to be a quitter. Paramahansa Yogananda, the great Indian sage, said, “A saint is a sinner who never gave up.” Part of owning your power is to keep plugging away.”

“I turned to my kitchen to put the final touch on my dish--- a splash of black aged vinegar to the broth. The acidity provided a better balance in the overall flavor. Black pieces of the desert silkie floated like ebony islands against the rich cinnabar shade of the hot pot broth. Amidst the bubbling broth, the vegetables--- deep green leaves with orange, dark pink, and light green blossoms--- created a kaleidoscope of tropical colors. It told a visual story of Lupong surrounded by the turbulent Singing Sea--- how the humble Peninsula was a vibrant place, despite the Continent's view that it was a desolate backwater. It was the defiant testament that we existed. Our sovereignty was important, and the Empress had no right to invade our land and our home. This dish was a reminder that winning the peaches of immortality would mean freedom for the Peninsula. I wanted the Empress to eat my defiance.”

“existía una maldad en el universo que conspiraba contra el ser humano, que lo lanzaba a una enorme fosa común ante una deidad que gozaba del festín de la desgracia. Y he aquí el gran fallo, el error de suponer siempre que los dioses eran amables, seres que crearon vida por amor a esta. No, no eran así. Eran semejantes a niños malcriados que lanzaban azúcar para atraer a hormigas a las que después quemar con una lupa bajo el sol.”

“Los humanos estamos por todas partes. Eran ellos los que se escondían. Dependían de nosotros, de nuestras creencias, y cuando no los necesitábamos y nos olvidábamos de ellos los hacíamos desaparecer. Les recordábamos que en el fondo éramos los humanos quienes habíamos creado a los dioses, y no al revés, por mucho que dijesen las leyendas. Era un tema que los inmortales, las criaturas que venían de mitologías antiguas, odiaban; la mayoría incluso lo negaban. Resultaba imposible que una especie tan frágil como los humanos hubiese creado algo tan superior como ellos. Pero en el fondo sabían que era verdad: nosotros los habíamos creado, nosotros los alimentábamos. Nosotros éramos sus dioses. Habíamos ganado.”

“God doesn’t get sick so neither need you, since you are God. So what causes sickness? It is the negative ego. Sai Baba says that “God equals man minus ego.” The ego doesn’t exist in God’s reality and ideally, it shouldn’t exist in yours. When you get rid of the negative ego you recognize that you are perfect”
