Spiritual Quotes for Self Development and Self Empowerment.

"There is a beautiful garden deep within you, which only you can enter. I can only help to get you to the gates, and that's exactly what my quotes have been designed to do."

"There's always a lot of argument to truth because most people do not understand the subjective nature of it. Nearly all of the following quotes are MY truth, so there is no argument against them; equally, there is no question to them and no accountability to anybody else for them, because they are MY truth. A few of the quotes still fall into the realms of lofty philosophy or reasoned belief, because I have yet to validate them via my own experiences. You can 'know' something from what you read and even 'understand' it, but it will always be just a belief unless you 'accept' it and you subsequently 'experience' it. Understanding is indeed a blessed thing but wisdom (which is derived from great knowledge experienced) is the pearl."

“A few years ago I was driving through my local town and at the main set of traffic lights the local council had erected the most beautiful Christmas tree in readiness for the season's festivities. There must have been well over a thousand pretty lights on this tree. I pulled over and took in its beauty and began to think that maybe we, as individuals, are the bright lights; and God is the electricity source, the life force itself. How bright is your light?”

"There are 7 rows of seats in the cinema. There are 7 rungs on Jacob's ladder. There are 7 energy centres in your body. There are 7 levels of mind. There are 7 major frequencies of energy. There are 7 envelopes of light that comprise your body. There are 7 steps to Heaven. There are 7 dimensions of time. There are 7 planes of existence. There are 7 frequencies of consciousness that your brain can pick up. There are 7 endocrine glands in your body that communicate your thinking to your DNA. Do you not think it's all linked? Imagine what you can do with all of that! How great do you want to be?"

"You show your ignorance by worshipping other beings and devoting yourself to them. When you do this, it is a slap in the face of your true nature - your spirit & soul. Devotion is not love, it is servitude, and you are not here to serve anybody in the context of worship. The great masters of antiquity never taught their disciples to do such, indeed, it's only the church leaders and so-called 'living' gurus who teach such trash; obviously for their own gains. They are a dis-grace! Do not insult yourself any longer but recognise your own divinity and you evolving into Christ consciousness."

"When Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven was in a mustard seed and a grain of sand he was referring to the implicate order of things (the tiny world that underpins the explicate order that we see). What is it that animates life? It can only be the essence of life itself, which is found in the nucleus of every atom. This is what Yeshua was referring to. The Kingdom of Heaven is both within you and all around you."

"Enlightenment is like the person who is fighting a forest fire single-handed. They keep putting out the fire only to return the next day to see that it has started up again. Finally, they realise that the only way to extinguish the fire completely is to let the fire rage until it eventually burns itself out. Enlightenment is thus starving your body of redemption, from all of its emotional (chemical) addictions until your mind and body become clear and calm. To stop the chemical voices from your body occupying your mind you have to deny them their fix, and the only way to do that, is to stand in the fire and watch whilst it burns away your past and purifies you."

"There is something magnificent inside of you that is bursting to get out! And the only thing that's stopping it, is the life you lead. You either develop the mind to resurrect your true self or you stay swimming in your emotional soup, along with the 'mind parasites' of your personality. You are the leader of your life - where do you want to take it?"
