“As we educate a child -- removing out of its path those obstacles over which we ourselves, in early days, have stumbled, and strengthening its mind with the aid of our own matured experience -- we, as it were, construct a new and better replica of ourselves, and thus enable the race to move slowly, but surely, forward towards the ultimate goal of existence -- towards perfection.” MindChildrenMovingGoalRaceExistencePathPerfectionUltimateObstaclesAidsEducateConstructsStrengtheningUltimate GoalMaturedMoving OutReplicaSlowly But Surely Author:Leonid Andreyev
“I do not wish upon anyone a descent into hell. But if your life has to be turned inside out in order for you to know yourself--if the shadow of a shaman crosses your path and you turn and follow it down--I pray that you use its force wisely. I hope that you take the ultimate responsibility for your actions and that you consecrate any destruction to the rebuilding of your higher self and a more radiant life.” IfsKnowsSelfUseActionOrderTurnsForceWishResponsibilityHellPathPrayingHigherShadowCrossesDestructionUltimateKnow YourselfI PrayRadiantDescentHigher SelfRebuilding Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“No matter what spiritual path you've walked or what teachings you've followed, they must lead you back to no path and no teaching. A true teaching is like a blazing fire that consumes itself. The teaching must not only consume you, but consume itself as well. All must be burned to ash, and then the ash must be burned. Then, and only then, is the Ultimate realized.” WellsMatterSpiritualPathFireTeachingUltimateNo Matter WhatBurnedAshesSpiritual PathBlazing Author:Adyashanti

“I saw that everything, all paths I had been following, all steps I had taken, were leading back to a single point - namely, to the mid-point. It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the center, to individuation. I knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate.” SelfStepsPathTakenSawsExpressionFindingsUltimateFollowingIndividuationExponents Author:Carl Jung
“The assumption that the egoless condition, or union of self and God, is man's final goal and ultimate destiny is a great mistake. My purpose here is to affirm that the unitive state is a hidden path in itself, a movement in its own right that ultimately leads to no-self (no true-self and no-union). In short, the unitive state is the hidden path to no-self.” MenSelfStatesPurposeGoalMistakeDestinyPathConditionsMovementUltimateUnionsFinalsAssumptionTrue SelfGreat Mistakes Book:The Path to No-Self: Life at the Center Source: The Path to No-Self: Life at the Center
“I believe the ultimate path to enlightment is the cultivation of gratitude. When you're grateful, fear disappears. When you're grateful lack disapears. You feel a sense that life is uniquely blessed, but at the same time, you feel like you're a part of everything that exists and you know that you are not the source of it. In that state you show up differently for the people around you. Just walking around you vibrate.” PeopleKnowsFeelsBelieveStatesShowsLife IsI BelievePathLike YouSourceWalkingGratitudeUltimateBlessedGratefulDisappearCultivationVibrate Author:Tony Robbins
