“Without a body and without time, I wasn't disturbed by my ego or by the function or dysfunction of my brain and memory. And during my pure perception within the source, I had no opinion either. I didn't even have an 'I.' An opinion is tied to the ego, and the ego to the body. Without any of this, there was only objective consciousness.” InspirationalBodyMemoriesBrainConsciousnessOpinionSourcePureEgoPerceptionFunctionObjectivesTiedDisturbedDysfunction Author:Pim van Lommel
“Pure love removes all negative feelings. Destroying all selfishness, it expects nothing but gives anything. Pure love is a constant giving up- giving up of everything that belongs to you. What really belongs to you? Only the ego. Love consumes in its flames all preconceived ideas, prejudices and judgments, all those things which stem from the ego. Pure love is nothing but the emptying of the mind of all its fears and the tearing off of all masks. It exposes the Self as it is.” LoveGivingMindIdeasSelfFeelingsLove IsPureEgoGiving UpJudgmentNegativePrejudiceConstantSelfishnessFlamesMaskRemoveDestroyingStemPure LoveExpect NothingNegative FeelingsPreconceived Ideas Book:Awaken Children Vol. 4 Source: Awaken Children Vol. 4
“Soul one might say is more imperfectly infinite than spirit, because soul tends to abolish the ego-consciousness that it absorbs or overwhelms, reducing its particularizing structure to pure sublime feeling (immediacy); but spirit is more successfully infinite than soul, even though also more difficult and abstruse, because it digests the functions of consciousness into itself and thus preserves and deploys the senses and intelligence of conscious ego to higher ends.” SoulEndsFeelingsMightSpiritDifficultConsciousnessHigherPureEgoConsciousFunctionInfiniteStructureSensesPreservesSublimeReducingAbolishImmediacy Author:Kenny Smith

“One has to be very alert to go beyond lust. And one has to be constantly aware of jealousy, of possessiveness, of domination, because those are the strategies of lust.

“To go fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air, with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water.
