“Positive self-esteem operates as, in effect, the immune system of the consciousness, providing resistance, strength, and a capacity for regeneration. When self-esteem is low, our resilience in the face of life's adversities is diminished. We crumble before vicissitudes that a healthier sense of self could vanquish. We tend to be more influenced by the desire to avoid pain than to experience joy. Negatives have more power over us than positives.” SelfPainFacesJoyDesireConsciousnessSocietyEffectsSelf EsteemLowsCapacityAdversityResilienceResistanceEsteemProvidingImmuneSense Of SelfImmune SystemRegenerationVicissitudesVanquishPositive Self Book:Power of Self Esteem Source: Power of Self Esteem

But the group itself does not become an egoic entity.” IfsHumansMeanDoeSelfFormIndividualLevelsConsciousnessGroupsDeeperEntitySense Of Self Author:Eckhart Tolle

One of the reasons people get confused about freedom, enlightenment, and liberation is because this awakened consciousness has different facets or different dimensions, a bit like a crystal. If you hold this luminous crystal up to the light and turn it, it will take a beam of white light and refract it into the many colors of the spectrum.” PeopleIfsDifferentSelfReasonRealityLightTurnsBitsWhiteConsciousnessStepsColorEnlightenmentLiberationConfusedDimensionsCrystalsSpectrumAwakenedSense Of SelfBeamLuminousFacetsWhite LightDifferent Dimensions Author:Jack Kornfield
