‎"When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around."

A wise Chinese master has this to say about the strategies of the warriors of light:

‘Convince your enemy that he will gain very little by attacking you; this will diminish his enthusiasm.’

‘Do not be ashamed to make a temporary withdrawal from the field if you see that your enemy is stronger than you; it is not winning or losing a single battle that matters.’

‘Even if you are very strong, never be ashamed to feign weakness; this will make your enemy act imprudently and attack too soon.’

‘Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.

‘To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.

‘Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

‘You have to believe in yourself.'

Warrior of the light

All the roads in the world lead to the heart of the warriors of light.

They plunge unhesitatingly into the river of passions always flowing through their lives.

The warriors knows that they are free to choose their desires, and they make these decisions with courage, detachment and – sometimes – with just a touch of madness.

They embrace their passions and enjoy them intensely.

They know that there is no need to renounce the pleasures of conquest; they are part of life and bring joy to all those who participate in them.

But they never lose sight of those things that last or of the strong bonds that are forged over time.

A warrior of light can distinguish between the transient and the enduring.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says "I'M POSSIBLE"!

If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the street - but the poor kids do that.

If power ensures security, then officials should have walked unguarded - but only who live simply, walk unguarded.

"Live simple, walk humble & Love genuinely to have the best life."

"Meditation is not a solution of any problem in particular; it solves nothing. It simply helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem-creator. It simply helps you to slip out of the mind like a snake slips out of the old skin.  Once you know you are not the mind the great transcendence has happened. Suddenly all problems become insignificant; slowly, slowly they evaporate. You are left with a profound peace; a great silence prevails.  This silence is the solution. This peace is the answer, the answer of all answers." Osho

"It is through our basic relationships with God and others that we find the meaning of life and reach the fulfillment that God intends for us.

The fundamental problem of life is the problem of love. Without real love nothing else seems to make sense or to matter. We have a fundamental need to be loved, lovable, and loving. No fulfillment is possible without love. Love has the power to heal us, to renew us, to make us safe, to bring us deep joy, and to bring us closer to God and to each other. To think that we can exist apart from others and from the universe is an illusion. Love redefines our very existence in relationship to others, and brings about heaven on Earth.

One day we will realize that the things that cannot be counted or measured mean more in life than the things that can be counted. Why? Because they are the most real and the most valuable. This is what Antoine de Saint Exupery (1900-1944), the author of The Little Prince, meant when he wrote: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."

And when St. Paul was talking about faith, hope, and love, he indicated clearly which was preeminent: "...the greatest of these is love" (1 Cor 13:13). In that same epistle, he also wrote:

"If I speak in the tongues of mortals and angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing (1 Cor 13:1-3).

Love is, indeed, the greatest power known to humankind. This tells us that, at the end of the day and of life, what we human beings really want is something that surpasses the desires for recognition, power, money, and things. What we really want is love. Love can heal and transform our lives. If we go to the ends of the earth and of ourselves to find this love, we will be rewarded with an understanding of the very reason we are here." - Jean Maalouf

Darwin's Perspective: With the daily pressure to perform, conform and succeed in life, it can seem a bit counter-intuitive to conclude that what really matters is love. After all, society regularly reinforces that money, class, career and power are worthwhile pursuits. And so too it would be counter-intuitive to conclude that society has it all wrong. Why would we have evolved the way we have? How could it be possible that God is present in our lives but that Humanity has steered off course?

As much as you might find fault in the world and not agree with where things are going, please resist the simple temptation to conclude that we're completely off course. Much like the events in your life point you towards your unique purpose, the state of our society is naturally the way it is. Our human condition is evolving and we are advancing to the conclusion of choosing love.

The world in which we live is full of chaos, dysfunction and negativity. There is no way to ignore the faults of our world. But this is merely the escalation of the human condition on a path to concluding that love is the better choice. It starts with you. In your heart, you will one day soon be presented with a tough choice to make. In your Mind, that voice in your head will tell you which choice to make. But tugging at you will be the aspirations of Spirit which will encourage you to choose the more loving option. This small moment in your life will be the catalyst of your awakening. In that moment, you will awaken to choice and choose love. In that moment, your connection to Spirit will strengthen and the bond shall grow from there. Your life will never be the same.

The same is the case for society. As more and more individuals awaken to this choice, more and more will choose love. As these numbers grow, this choice will spread and the path of love will become the majority. This is our divine destiny. The only unknown is when.

Upon looking back on the chain of events that changed everything, there will be a link that connects back to your choice. Your little choice is causal in the chain of events that will chart a new course for humankind. It would be a mistake to trivialize your role to play or the power of your choice. For without you, the chain remains broken and waits for another day.

‎"I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you." -- Oprah Winfrey

What Are You & What You Want ?? - Bob Proctor

“It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.” – Les Brown

I have come home

"Intellect is thinking. And consciousness is discovered in a state of no-thinking, so — utter silence, that not even a single thought moves as a disturbance. In that silence you discover your very being — it is as vast as the sky. And to know it is really to know something worthwhile; otherwise all your knowledge is garbage. It may be useful, utilitarian, but it is not going to help you transform your being.It cannot bring you to a fulfillment, to contentment, to enlightenment,to a point where you can say, "I have come home." Osho

‎"If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right."

Follow your heart

"Look deep into your heart. Listen to the still small voice within. And remember one thing: life is fulfilled only through longings, never through ambitions. Life becomes blissful only through the heart, never through the mind. Mind creates science, the heart creates religion. Mind can give you better technology, better gadgets. The heart gives you the real, ultimate values: love, bliss, truth, freedom, awareness, God. And a life without these values is valueless."

"You go on dreaming, imagining beautiful things for the coming days, the future. But in moments when danger is imminent, then suddenly you become aware that there may be no future, no tomorrow, that this is the only moment you have got. So times of disaster are very revealing. They don´t bring anything new in the world; they simply make you aware of the world as it is. They wake you up. If you don´t understand this, you can go mad; if you understand this, you can become awakened."

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” ~ Oscar Wilde

"Sadness also has a being. Allow it, embrace it, sit with it, hold hands with it. Be friendly. Be in love with it. Sadness is beautiful! Nothing is wrong with it. Who told you that something is wrong in being sad? In fact, only sadness gives you depth. Laughter is shallow; happiness is skin-deep. Sadness goes to the very bones, to the marrow. Nothing goes as deep as sadness."-Osho

‘If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.’

Don't quit poem

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart,…you’ll know when you find it.” — Steve Jobs

The secret powers of time

"Every day we are faced with hundreds, if not thousands, of opportunities to choose love or hate. With a physical existence, we can forget God’s intention for us to fulfill our purpose and fool ourselves into believing that our choice doesn’t matter. Or we can believe that God will punish us for not making the correct choice. Alternatively, we can live a Spiritual existence and make choosing love our only choice.

One by one, soul by soul, each and everyday more and more people choose to live a Spiritual existence. In choosing love over hate, they invite more loving energy into their lives and find that life is miraculously better. By listening to their Spirit, they allow God’s love to guide their path through life. Listening and loving, they navigate through the trials and tribulations of life with an understanding that their purpose is Divinely inspired.

Do those who live a Spiritual existence have magical, mystical powers? Do they have immune systems capable of beating any illness? Are they able to walk on fire? Most certainly not, for a Spiritual existence is not a physical existence and does not elevate us beyond the eleven dimensions of this Universe.

However, there is one distinct advantage of a Spiritual existence that is worth noting. When you live a physical existence, you’re on your own with no reason for God’s healing energy to flow through and into you. When you live a Spiritual existence, your purpose fulfilling actions draw God’s healing life force energy into and through you." Darwin Stephenson, from my book Inspiration Divine

"The great successful men of the world have used their imagination; they think ahead and create their mental picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building, steadily building." - Robert Collier

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him." - Buddha

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight & his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
