Guest guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 I would like to share some quotes that I found helpful for me. Paramahansa Yogananda Gloom is but the shade of Divine Mother's hand outstretched caressingly .. Sometimes when the Mother is going to caress you, a shadow is caused by Her hand before it touches you. So when trouble comes, don't think that She is punishing you ~ Her hand overshadowing you holds some blessing as it reaches out to bring you nearer to Her. ~*~*~ Yogananda Life has a bright side and a dark side, for the world of relativity is composed of light & shadows. No cruelty exists in God's plan, because in His eyes there is no good or evil - only pictures of light & shadows. The Lord intended us to view the dualistic scenes of life as he does Himself .... the ever joyous witness of a stupendous cosmic drama ... ~*~*~*~ Emmanuel Fear would take you on a narrow path promising to take you where you want to go. Love says, "Open your arms and fly with me." Every moment of your life you are offered the opportunity to choose love or fear, to tread the earth or to soar the heavens. Why would fear want to oppose truth? Because truth has the power to transform fear. Fear believes it is fighting for its life. All love is unconditional, and yet it must move through the filter system of fear. The moment love touches the vocabulary of fear, it becomes conditional. Fear is the frightened child ... Love is the Holy flame of remembering. It is not required that you alter your world one iota. What will bring you peace is to alter your perceptions. ~*~ ~*~* Emmanuel As children you have played at putting your hands in front of a bright light and watching the shadow figures on the world. Do you choose to look at the shadows on the wall and say, "This is reality," or are you also aware of how those shadows were created & of the brilliant Light that stands behind all illusion? Not only are you the shadow that is dancing on the wall, but you are the hand that makes the shadow ... and you are the Light. Illusion cannot destroy reality ... Can a shadow on the wall hurt you? You can see them on my web page here http://www.bb.com.au/colette/jewels.htm (2 pages of quotes to help.) There is also this http://www.bb.com.au/colette/darknite.htm 'Dark Night of Soul' and this http://www.bb.com.au/colette/darklite.htm 'Within the Dark there's Light' And for those who like a roaring good yarn there's http://www.bb.com.au/colette/egothron.htm Spirit Usurps Ego's Throne If you go to the first page here http://www.bb.com.au/colette I have contructed a gentle meandering into help into balancing manifest & unmanifest Reality. There are other hidden pages of recent insights. Now I'd like to share that I found it extremely helpful at a certain stage when a friend shared that they think of the 'ego' as the vulnerable child. Love is the answer ~ especially from your Self. With Love, Colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
