Self Awareness Quotes

“The moment we accept our pain is the moment we release our suffering. Suffering is created when we offer life resistance, and what we resist most are the experiences that bring us pain.”

“Original sin and conscious awareness of human fallibility is the perpetual agent of transformation in human affairs. Humankind’s behavior is pathological; it is an admixture of instinct and reason, kindness and cruelty, immorality and seeking redemption.”

“(On purpose & nature) We are part of nature, but what role do we play in Earth’s cycles? Unlike other living beings, we carry individual consciousness: we watch, we question, we create. We are the creator species. After this experience, I see things differently: we are the eyes through which creation witnesses itself. Life, in all its wonder and growth, wanted to witness its own unfolding—and so we were born.”

“The closer you come to knowing that you alone create the world of your experience, the more vital it becomes for you to discover just who is doing the creating.”

“Cultivate the willingness and spaciousness to allow everything that you are experiencing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically to arise and enter your consciousness.”

“A mirror has always symbolized more than glass and reflection. A mirror represents truth. A mirror represents conscience. It shows us what is actually there, not what we wish were there. Sometimes the hardest thing a person can do is look honestly at themselves. Not the version they present to the world, but the quiet reflection that asks: Who am I really? What am I contributing to this world? Where do I need to grow? Avoiding the mirror isn’t about the glass. It’s about avoiding the work of self-knowledge and accountability. But the beautiful thing about reflection is that it gives us something powerful: the chance to change, grow, and become better than we were yesterday. Sometimes the bravest thing a person can do… is simply look in the mirror.”

“The more a person is united within himself or herself and inwardly simple, the more and higher things he or she understands, because he or she receives the light of understanding from within.”

“All we can really say is that things happen and when they do we filter them through what’s already happening inside ourselves – whether we’re aware of that or not - and then either move towards the truth about things or away from it.”

“Both science and spirituality tell us today that meditation and mindfulness strengthen mental control. The more we feel conscious of, and in control of our thoughts and our emotions, the more empowered we become to take effective action that is most suitable for our health and our life.”

“There exists a universal order that we each play a distinct role in carrying out. Light always struggles to emerge from darkness. Each of us is the bearer of our own lantern. We find ourselves when we realize our place in an interconnected world. The struggle to pierce the darkness that shrouds us from realizing a state of perceptive awareness is the biggest part of both our individual story and our communal storyline.”

“Human beings possess the gift of personal freedom and liberty of the mind. We each possess the sovereignty over the body and mind to define ourselves and embrace the values that we wish to exemplify. Personal autonomy enables humans to take independent action and use reason to establish moral values. We are part of nature. Consciousness, human cognition, and awareness of our own mortality allow us to script an independent survival reality and not merely react to environmental forces.”

“Insecurity is the lack of trust in your abilities and worth. When you enter into a secured state of consciousness, everything that helped boost your confidence will return.”

“Is it a weakness not being able to hate? Or is it preparation for what is inevitable, the ability only to love.”

“To win or lose often depends on set parameters. Expand the bounds of what is possible, and you may come out the true winner, outside the confines of its defining.”

“Time is an illusion, only the keepers of the illusion are real, and the reality they have spun, keeps us, until we set upon the path of the dream.”

“More and more obstacles seem to be other people's issues that form in the way of a hand to block one, to take notice of them? Sometimes noticing ahead of time, and taking the time to notice them, makes the hand part of an arm that embraces you. The obstacles become bridges for both to cross over, even if in opposite directions.”

“There is beauty all around us, and the light finds us when we realize, we are all part of that beauty and worth the cherishing. If we despise any, we journey to despise ourselves. See all as beautiful, even if they choose to see themselves through you, as being less than so. We have the power to see for each, and be the reflection of what they may yet see.”

“We are each one being with access to multiple dimensions guiding us toward our full human potential. The soul is vast and endless. The ego is actively on guard, yet also necessary to befriend. The body is a rich source of information along the path towards self-awareness, and the psyche works creatively towards permeability across ordinary and extraordinary states of consciousness. The spiritual realm is available, loving, and supportive, should we choose to open ourselves to receive it. Life is a continuum of all things seen and unseen, dancing and interacting as one reality, revealing itself to us as we reveal ourselves to it.”

“Extreme anxiety, fear, exhaustion, and lack of other viable options are what cause a person to surrender everything. Desperation is also the raw material of drastic change. Crisis spurs critical, dramatic shifts in a person’s psyche. Only a person who is willing to lose everything will transform himself or herself. Only by moving outside our comfort zone of the past – letting go of a former being – will a person expand their state of conscious awareness. Now that I am desperate, I am dangerous. I am also ripe for transformation.”

“God Eyes (Sonnet) Perception is not a measure of reality, perception is a measure of distance - from afar the sun is a dot, from farther the milkyway is a dot, from farther still the universe is a dot. Likewise, from afar God is an entity, from up close, God is a state of mind, get closer still, and you are God. Perception is like an oscillator circuit, alter the value of the resistor or capacitor, and you change the oscillation. Likewise, truth changes based on the resistance, ie. ignorance, and capacitance, ie. awareness, of your vantage point.”
