“Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”
Albert Einstein

The voice emerges literally from the body
as a representation of our inner world.
It carries our experience from the past,
our hopes and fears for the future,
and the emotional resonance of the moment.
If it carries none of these, it must be
a masked voice, and having muted the voice,
anyone listening knows intuitively
we are not all there.

David Whyte, The Heart Aroused

[ad#ad-1]

” Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.  If I keep saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.  On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”

“If we have listening ears, God speaks to us in our own language, whatever that language be.”

“What is faith worth if it is not translated into action.”

“To  a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within the soul”

Gandhi

I am the only one who can make myself happy.
I am the only one who can fill my life with joy.
I am the only one who can make myself happy.
I open up my heart and let my love create my world!

I don’t wonder why this song keeps popping in…I understand it’s a gift from my Higher Self; a reminder of the Love and the Light that we are. I understand that my Higher Self knows I may just need a little reminder, a True Reality check, during these days when so much is reflected that I could choose to respond to with negativity or unhappiness.

If you catch yourself feeling blue…think of this little song; repeat it to yourself. Or, if you’re like me, shout it at the top of your lungs and watch a smile zoom across your face as your cells light up with recognition. Then, share it with the world!

I am grateful every moment for my Higher Self, the Wholeness of Me that is connected 24/7 and beyond to Source. I Open Up My Heart and Let My Love Create My World!

” The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of the heart”

” Machinery to be well used has to help and ease human effort. The present use of machinery tends more and more to concentrate wealth in the hands of a few in total disregard of millions of men and women whose bread is snatched by it out of their mouths.”

“A nation that is capable of limitless sacrifice is capable of rising to limitless heights. The purer the sacrifice the quicker the progress”

“Good travels at a snails pace. Those who want to do good are not selfish, they are not in a hurry, they know that to impregnate people with good requires a long time.”

~ Gandhi

If we are to reach real peace in this and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they grow up in their natural innocence, we won’t have to struggle; we won’t have to pass fruitless idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering.

~ Gandhi

“Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state”

Gandhi

“Whenever you are in doubt or when the self becomes too much with you, try the following expedient:  Recall the face of the poorest and most helpless man you have ever seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him.  Will he be able to gain anything by it?  Will it restore him control over his own life and destiny?  In other words, will it lead to… self-rule for the hungry and spiritually starved millions of our countrymen?  Then you will find your doubts and your self melting away.”

Gandhi

“If there were no greed, there would be no occasion for armaments. The principle of nonviolence necessitates complete abstention from exploitation in any form”

~ Gandhi

I believe that we are being given an opportunity to shift the way our society behaves.

• To live in a world with less greed.
• To consider people and community first.
• To share our abundance

“Strength does not come from physical capacity.  It comes from the indomitable will.”

“It is because we have at the present moment everybody claiming the right of conscience without going through any discipline whatsoever that there is so much untruth being delivered to a bewildered world.”

” I have learnt through bitter experience the one supreme lesson:  to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world.”

Joy lies in fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in the victory itself.”

“To forget how to dig the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves.”

“Life is greater than art.  I would go even further and declare that the man whose life comes nearest to perfection is the greatest artist; for what is art without the sure foundation and framework of a noble life?”
