“As you begin to feel this enormous shift of consciousness, called multisensory perception, emerging in your awareness, you begin to reorient yourself. It's a reorientation that occurs toward yourself as more than a mind and a body; it's a reorientation that occurs toward others; toward your life as meaningful, rather than predetermined. It's a reorientation that occurs toward the universe as alive, wise and compassionate, instead of inert (which means dead) and random.” FeelsMindMeanBodyUniverseConsciousnessWiseAliveAwarenessPerceptionMeaningfulEnormousCompassionateEmergingPredetermined Author:Gary Zukav

“If you don't believe in God, it may help to remember this great line of Geneen Roth's: that awareness is learning to keep yourself company. And then learn to be more compassionate company, as if you were somebody you are fond of and wish to encourage. I doubt that you would read a close friend's early efforts and, in his or her presence, roll your eyes and snicker. I doubt that you would pantomime sticking your finger down your throat. I think you might say something along the lines of, 'Good for you. We can work out some of the problems later, but for now, full steam ahead!” IfsThinkingBelieveMayHelpingProblemMightEyeRememberWishLinesEffortCompanyDoubtAwarenessFingersDon't BelieveWork OutBelieve In GodThroatCompassionateSteamClose FriendsPantomimeSnickers Book:Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life Source: Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
“The first step to change,... is accepting your reality right now. Honoring your process. Compassionate self-awareness leads to change; harsh self-criticism only holds the pattern in place, creating a stubborn and defensive Basic Self. Be gentle with yourself as you would with a child. Be gentle but firm. Give yourself the space to grow. But remember that the timing is in god's hands, not yours. page~147” GivingFirstsChildrenSelfHandsRealityRememberGrowsProcessSpaceAcceptingStepsAwarenessRight NowCreatingCriticismSelf AwarenessPatternsFirmGentleCompassionateFirst StepsTimingHarshStubbornSelf Criticism Author:Dan Millman
“As you become more conscious of your cruelty, of your violence, gross and subtle, you start becoming more and more compassionate. Not that you cultivate compassion. Just by becoming aware of your cruelty, violence, ugliness... the very awareness brings new changes in you. And the energy that was involved in cruelty, in violence, starts changing. The same energy becomes purified, the same energy becomes compassion.” EnergyCompassionViolenceAwarenessBecomingInvolvedConsciousCrueltySubtleCompassionateGrossUglinessBecoming More Author:Rajneesh
