“In order to learn true humility (I use this expression to describe the state of mind under discussion), it is good for a person to withdraw from the turmoil of the world (we see that Christ withdrew when the people wanted to proclaim him king as well as when he had to walk the thorny path), for in life either the depressing or the elevating impression is too dominant for a true balance to come about. Here, of course, individuality is very decisive.” PeopleWorldMindWellsPersonsStatesUseWantedOrderCoursesChristWalksPathHumilityExpressionKingsBalanceIndividualityImpressionDiscussionState Of MindDepressingDominantTurmoilElevatingTrue Humility Author:Soren Kierkegaard
“Honesty comes only with sound health, physically and psychologically, and an honest mind cannot be separated from the most genuine acknowledgment of expression. It should be recognized that pure perfection is unobtainable. Therefore, the realization that one's irrevocable faults and deficiencies must be faced guides us toward the first step of learning. We must each accept any situation as it actually is, with dignity. In that fine balance of acceptance of self and the mission to better oneself, compassion, humility, and discipline are nurtured.” ShouldMindFirstsSelfSoundCompassionSituationAcceptingStepsHonestHonestyAcceptanceHumilityExpressionFineBalanceDisciplinePureDignityPerfectionFaultsOneselfMissionsGuidesGenuineRealizationSelf AcceptanceFirst StepsDeficiencyAcknowledgmentIrrevocable Author:Midori Goto

“Since we have been out of balance so heavily towards the male, it is going to be the feminine energy which will now move into a place of enormous influence and enormous impact, as that energy creates a confluence of all the energies surrounding our experience of deities, of the Tao of God, and our expression of that experience in our daily lives.” Has BeensMovingEnergyInfluenceExpressionBalanceImpactMalesEnormousDaily LifeFeminineTaoDeitiesFeminine EnergyConfluence Author:Neale Donald Walsch
“Every culture has beauty and decorations of body. This is not of itself superficial, this is very human. Decorating when it becomes out of balance, when it becomes about the materialism, about how many shoes, how many handbags, how expensive they are, and the status, then it's no longer just about an expression or looking beautiful, that's more about 'I HAVE MONEY, I AM RICH'. It felt out of balance.” HumansBodyBeautifulCultureFeltRichExpressionBalanceShoesExpensiveMaterialismSuperficialDecorationDecoratingHandbagsLooking Beautiful Author:David LaChapelle

“My children have always existed at the deepest center of me, right there in the heart/hearth, but I struggled with the powerful demands of motherhood, chafing sometimes at the way they pulled me away from my separate life, not knowing how to balance them with my unwieldy need for solitude and creative expression.” WayNeedsHeartChildrenSometimesPowerfulCreativeKnowingExpressionBalanceSolitudeDemandMotherhoodMy ChildrenNot KnowingCreative ExpressionSeparate LivesChafing Book:Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France Source: Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother and Daughter Journey to the Sacred Places of Greece, Turkey, and France
“All things that are, are ours. But we must care. For if we do not care, we do not exist. If we do not exist, then there is nothing but blind oblivion. And even oblivion must end someday. Lord, will you grant me just a little time? For the proper balance of things. To return what was given. For the sake of prisoners and the flight of birds. Death took a step backwards. It was impossible to read expression in azrael's features. Death glanced sideways at the servants.
