“Examine your beliefs and break free.”

“Following intuition allows decision and action to be made in the same instant.”

“Instead of assuming and jumping into conclusions, stop for a moment and think. "Is this really true or am I making it up?".Don't believe your racing thoughts.”

“Want Truth more than you want to awaken and the awakening takes care of itself.”

“Truth shines light on darkness by questioning it.”

“I hear many people share with me that they just 'have to do this thing' before they can relax and slow down.The truth is that taking the time to be still and reflective actually increases productivity and gives more joy to what you're doing when it's time to take action again.”

“The ego cleverly hides by projecting and by avoiding to look beyond what it merely believes.”

“Anybody who listens to their intuition risk at times making other people disappointed or even pissed off because you're not tending to what they want from you but instead to what feels right for you.”

“The ego is the self that is unaware of itself so unless you seek first who you are not, the ego will use every technique, practice and experience for its own ‘spiritual growth’.The more ‘spiritual’ it becomes, the more into delusion it takes you.”

“The awakening process is not about 'finding who you are' but more about finding out about the ego, about who you are not.”

“Serious spiritual practice is more than serene walks in the woods, lit candles and incense. You have to be committed. You have to be willing to enter into your own darkness and transcend it.”

“Even this is paradoxical because even though the ego does all the spiritual practice in the beginning,it’s the Truth that has orchestrated it all.”

“Everything is consciousness. YOU are consciousness and everything around you is a reflection of your [state of] consciousness.When you shift your consciousness, when you change, your life changes too.”

“Awakening means you’ve come home to yourself, that consciousness shifted back to its original nature.”

“Be true to yourself and the right people and resources always show up. The Universe always conspires for the right meetings to occur. Everything is unfolding as it should. It really is.”

“Your world will expand for every step you dare to take outside your comfort zone.”

“Get to know who you are not, because when you know your ego the Truth of who you are will also become clear.”

“Just feel forgiveness in your heart. The universe will hear you and that will be enough.”
