  • "The ego, or more accurately, the belief that one is the ego, obscures the Realization of the Reality of the Self as the Oneness of All That Is. The dissolution of the ego results in liberation from the bondage of the illusions that create suffering."

    Dr. David Hawkins, I: Reality & Subjectivity

  • “Negative and positive are not two aspects of energy and consciousness: they are one and the same.

This cannot be accomplished without fully taking responsibility for the negativity in you.”

    Eva Pierrakos, The Pathwork of Self-Transformation

  • “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”

    William Blake

  • “Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.”
