“My pastor teaches in many sermons that fear is a spiritual gift from the devil; send the package back!”

“The spiritual meaning of intuition rests in the recognition of truth beyond what our physical senses can perceive. It acts as an inherent guide. A compass that directs us towards the most authentic versions of ourselves. Oftentimes, intuition manifests as an unexplainable hunch. An intuitive GPS.”

“The spiritual awakening process is like rebirth. Gradually, the false pretenses that had once blinded us is replaced with a great awakening to our Savior. To His true nature. To His wonderful character. To His faithfulness.”

“Saints seem to be enjoying and welcoming trials because it helps them prove their loyalty to the beloved. The immature seekers often misinterpret it and start treating it like a rule that one is supposed to starve, torture oneself to grow spiritually, even if they get mentally unfit and physically crippled in the process, and eventually spoil their growth prospects, due to their own foolishness. The philosophy that lies at the core of this belief is 'The worldly is bad', 'Material self should be discouraged to grow spiritually' and therefore the seeker should run away from everything worldly and disappear in the jungle to grow spiritually.”

“I sought out the laws which govern nature, solid or ethereal, and after much pondering I perceived that the Universe had not been formed as its pretended Creator would have us believe; I knew that all that exists, exists of itself and not by the caprice of Iahveh; that the world is itself its own creator and the spirit its own God. Henceforth I despised Iahveh for his imposture, and I hated him because he showed himself to be opposed to all that I found desirable and good: liberty, curiosity, doubt.”

“She could envision Jesus out on the stormy waves calling her to join him, and not to depend on the laws of nature. She’d just need to keep her focus on the Savior and move forward in these tossing waves. To keep looking down on the watery sprays trying to sink her would be her undoing. As her father understood and often repeated, she now saw the storm warning. “You win some, you lose some.” Could Jesus defy natural endings?”

“She could envision Jesus out on the stormy waves calling her to join him, and not be distracted by the laws of nature.

As her father understood and often repeated, she now saw the storm warning. “You win some, you lose some.” Could Jesus defy natural consequences-gravity?”

“Simply repeating "I don't understand anything I see" will open you up to creative vision. Initially, when you practice, you might feel a sense of uncomfortable bewilderment; however, if you stay with this practice, inspiration will peek through the ordinariness of what you normally see.”

“[Reaching higher levels of spiritual development is attainable by] the purification of the body [from lower vibrations, habits and emotions]. Purification of [different parts of a person can be achieved in the following ways:] - the material body can be effected by things generated along with it by Nature; - the electric body, by patience in all circumstances; - the magnetic body by regulation of the breath.”

“There is peace and healing in knowing that our cuts aren't deeper than the calvary's nail-piercings, There is peace and healing when God's Grace reign in our sick souls and lay our pain and fears to rest. There is peace, healing and rebirth of our spirits in knowing that will no longer be Judged by our mistakes but by our hearts because "God has bestowed on us a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. We will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor". Isa 61:3”

“In Egyptian Arabic, the word 'insan' means 'human'. If we remove the 'n', the word becomes 'insa', which means 'to forget'. So you see, the word 'forget' is taken from the word 'human'. And since it was God who created our minds and hearts, He knew from the very beginning that we would quickly forget our history, only to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. So the ultimate test of every human is to seek wisdom. After all, wisdom is gained from having a good memory. Only after we have passed this test will we evolve to become better humans. Man is only a forgetful mortal, but God — He sees, hears and remembers everything.”

“Babies do not have both feet squarely on Earth. They float between the worlds, not being able to clearly distinguish them. As they grow, they must become firmly established as Earth dwellers. Their memory of other worlds fades and disappears. They learn how to be human before they can, one day, recall their spiritual heritage.”

“Blessed are those with cracks in their broken heart because that is how the light gets in.”

“Beliefs define the way we see reality. They filter what we look at, how we interpret events, and what we believe is possible. Two people can witness the same situation and walk away with entirely different conclusions, because they’re each seeing through the lens of their own inner world.”

“The moment we shift the frequency we live from, life begins to rearrange itself around that new vibration. It does not always do so with fireworks or dramatic signs. More often, it meets us in quieter ways — situations that stretch us, opportunities that beckon us forward, old patterns rising to be released.”

“Fear is a signal to pay attention. It is often the psyche’s way of gathering momentum for change. When we label fear as negative, we push it away and miss its deeper message. But when we recognise it as pure energy — neither good nor bad — we can direct that energy towards growth and movement.”

“For the truth is that the brain sullies the flow of pure consciousness to provide us with a physical, but inherently distorted, view of reality. And the reason is quite simple—the brain cannot deal with non-physical realities so it conveniently rejects these, while necessarily allowing the flow of consciousness to continue.”
