“I do not judge the quality of my work by the feedback obtained from the masses, for if the masses knew how to judge wisely, would not have supported so much madness throughout human history; I judge my work through the many attacks the devil launches on me, by using possessed souls during the process of creation, and the viciousness of such attacks. It is in the most poisonous insults that I find the elixir of my self-worth.”

“Love does not only need a taste, but it also needs a present.”
“God always opens new doors in the darkest rooms. Those doors are called miracles and the dark rooms are called fears. And you may think that you can push this darkness away with the light of knowledge, but you will never have enough knowledge, if not impelled by the force of faith. Therefore, one can say that knowledge increases confidence in the future, but it is with faith that we can create any multitude of futures, including the ones we considered impossible or did not even consider.”

“God blesses us with so many gifts that it is, in a way, ungrateful of us to suffer. We can use our efforts, resilience, persistence, as well our capacity to dream and envision, to apply faith to our journey and reach our goals despite any momentary barriers or difficult outcome we may face. Ultimately, time and freedom are more important than anything else and both can’t be taken from us. When you pray, you take the freedom to yourself and, when you live in hope, you gain time. That time may not be seen in the present but will come as a new future. And every loss reveals the potential for a greater victory. For there is no meaning in suffering for not having receivers to the fruits of our creation. Likewise, we should not suffer when we are receivers of what is created.”

“God does not choose religions. Religions call themselves representatives of the Truth, but this representation is always self-entitled. One must discern entitlement from Truth if he hopes to understand God.”

“Happiness is not possible without hope; hope is not possible without discipline; discipline demands consistent action; consistency depends on order; order only exists when motivated by faith; an overwhelming faith depends on belief; and, belief can only come from love. In other words, only you can make yourself happy. If you are willing to stand still when your mind is restless, you can begin this journey towards the ultimate understanding of what makes life what it is.”

“Hate not the one who has ridiculed you or insulted you, on purpose or by default, for he is a victim of stupidity, blind by his own actions. Such an individual suffers from ignorance in ways that the mockery blinds you to see. But doubt not, that all ignorance manifested in the form of insults and segregation, is paid by the one who charges through you his own karmic token.”
