People who are hard on others are usually very hard on themselves, and the pain they inflict on others is a reflection of the pain they inflict on themselves.

We have all suffered losses and pain, but no loss is greater than a life lost holding-on to a painful past.

All pain in life comes from suppressing your true identity.

Humility adds lessons to our pain and suffering, turning the seemingly senseless into meaning.

When someone is vicious toward you they are giving you a glimpse of the pain they carry in themselves.

The way you engage someone's pain either reinforces their pain or helps to release it.

Maybe you receive pain selfishly - thinking only of yourself. The cycle of pain wounds every participant.

When we can't let go of the past, painful moments accumulate in us; metastasizing in our consciousness like an emotional cancer.

Through forgiveness you can be free of the tragedies and pain in other people's failures.

Forgive for yourself and for the peace it will bring to your pain.

It is through our pain that we emerge.

To heal, you have to give yourself to the pain. You cannot avoid facing yourself your whole life.

Life is a procession of painful lessons, and how precious those lessons are; so precious that we rejoice in the bitter-sweet gift of life.

May you receive the wisdom of your wounds and may you live your life even larger than your pain.

Your burdens and pains will only be lightened by living ever so fully.

We conform to pain until we don't notice it anymore; it's what you call - numb - and it tragically blots out our pleasure too.

If you can sit with your pain, listen to your pain and respect your pain - in time you will move through your pain.

Submit to your pain; don't suppress your pain.

The fullness of life's balancing grace will demand the symmetry of recompense for all your loss and pain.

Your pain is reminding you that the gift of life is tender and precious. Suffering cuts to the quick of aliveness.

Your pain and struggles only serve to remind you that you are alive.

Accepting our pain is a way to say we treasure the sacred gift of life - run to your pain.

Allow your pain to cleanse you and burn away what needs to die.

Sometimes the pain is a startling breach that hobbles your entire soul; dreadful losses that rupture your perceived reality. Pain so visceral and unrelenting that even death itself can begin to look like a welcomed and kind benefactor.

Low-grade pain can be so rooted in your being that the pain begins to look like you, and you begin to look like the pain - it becomes your identity.

We are never taught more deeply and more truthfully than by pain.

Pain is a breach in the walls of decline and stagnation.

The pain of humanity's most maltreated victims echoes deep within each of us, in the form of our shame or ignorance.

Suffering is one of life's great teachers.

There is no way to escape conflict in life, and there is no way to escape peace in life.

The source calls to you. Find a quiet place and listen for the voice of creation. Look upon the horizon and see the future of your new life, where you are again a natural soul living in joy and peace.

Peace is the friend we find in silence.

Be a peacemaker who values peace and takes peace everywhere you go.

Become an ambassador of peace in your own life.

Peace IS Prosperity.

Rest your mind for a moment in the peace of knowing you were created and you do exist.

Peace is a way of constructively handling natural conflict.

Get out of your own way. Learn to exist gracefully and peacefully with yourself.

It is the garden of peace you seek, but it is not a tangible place that exists in the world - it is within. Go there, within.

Forgiveness is about your peace of mind. When you don't forgive, you are the one who suffers.

You have to reach out to your inner-abuser and make peace. You can't live your life as your own worst enemy!

Too much aggression and work will move what you desire further away.

A person at peace can immediately recognize a consciousness in crisis, whereas those in crisis cannot fully understand themselves or others.

When you walk in peace you will literally see attackers shattering themselves against your inner-calm.

Let us now yearn for the possibility of building a happiness in every heart. Let us now build inward a new world of hope, a world of limitless possibilities for the children of tomorrow, where each soul can reach the heights of their potential to love and to be loved.

Peace adores above everything free discussion and expression without intimidation.

Consuming what is natural, good and untainted frees you, protects you, and realigns you with what is natural, peaceful and safe.

The woman must be restored to her rightful place, as the strong, loving maternal leader of peace and reason.

We must reprogram ourselves to understand that cooperation is a higher principle than competition.

We must rebuild organic communities, where people can come together and have analogue conversations and share stories, art, music and emotions.

We must relentlessly and unyieldingly protect freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.

We must take the money out of politics, and end psychopathic, self-destructive government and corporate madness.

Let each of us lead a revolution of support in the lives of others.

All violence demands reform, and all violence desperately begs to be healed.

Freedom of expression and freedom of peaceable assembly must remain sacrosanct.

Progress is not about hating or destroying America, it is about loving and building the world, which can only come from healing our national dementia.

The passive and overt violence waged against the women and children of the world must end.

Extreme nationalism objectifies and dehumanizes those from other countries.

There is a self-destructive program running in the consciousness of humanity, and we must write a new program.

We all know the true nature of the human soul, because we have all looked into the eyes of children, and saw ourselves looking back.

Each person carries within their core the birthright of creative freedom, which, when organized and orchestrated, is the most awesome force on earth.

We must throw out the old, fear-based thought-forms and evolve, and begin to live as higher beings of compassion.

Let us subdue the ravages of the baser-self, and aspire to the higher calling of exalting joy through compassion, for that is the one true purpose of humanity.

The system has already anticipated the freedom seeking mechanism in humans.

Humanity has been institutionalized and we are all the products of commercial and institutional life.

The need for gain, and advantage over others, is one of the chief driving forces behind all human misery.

We have been trained by a culture of violence and we are all agents of passive violence.

The world has been loaned to humanity by the universal powers of creation.

The inherent prejudice in unnaturally-produced nationalism causes a form of cultural blindness, which prevents us from seeing the obvious ways we could co-exist in the world as a co-operative human family.

Humanity needs heroic leadership from those who see all life as precious.

Respect is the lifeblood of progress, and the safe harbor of humanity's great aspirations.

We have lost our humanity to the decimal point.

We huddle tightly together as cowards, protecting the ranks of our false collective identity from "less-human" intruders, when the only obvious and sane truth is that we are all the same human beings.

We must dilute and disperse all forms of concentrated power that refuse to be accountable to majority wishes.

The ability to forgive is one of man’s greatest achievements.

No time is better spent than that spent in the service of your fellow man.

Your dream is only possible through a clear intention and patience.

Immediate gratification is a dream killer.

I kept taking one step forward and two back. Then I went all the way around backwards and arrived where I had dreamed of going.

You are likely the greatest obstacle to achieving your own dreams.

There can never be any real freedom on earth as long as people try to exert ownership over the natural resources of the world.

Stay in the middle of the bell-curve of social norms and follow along, or you will find out the about freedom you never had.

Freedom is fragile.

Freedom only exists in the choice. When you don't have the choice you are not free.

The starting point to freedom is to begin questioning the cultural narrative you have been sold.

America has a unique type of slavery that looks like freedom.

Most people know nothing about freedom; only the facsimile of freedom into which they were inculcated.

Are you free or were you sold a facsimile of freedom?

Understand your power. Live dangerously. Live fearlessly. Cower before no earthly master. Know yourself. Live truthfully. Live freely. Be yourself. Love yourself.

Many rabble-rousers for libertarianism, liberty and freedom are unwitting pawns of controllers they have never even considered.

You think that if you blame, you will then be free of those problems, but blame cements you to your problems.

Freedom is the most sophisticated form of control. The best lies use the truth.

Western "freedom" is a sophisticated form of control.

You are free. Your mind belongs to you. Your thoughts are yours. Honor the sacred territory of your freedom and individuality.

When you realize that the feeling you have - is - the response you choose, you are free in that moment.

America is like a roomy cage; just enough choice-space where the animal doesn't go wild and feels free.

The secret is in realizing your internal gifts and then setting them free.

Only when you decide to truly live can you be free of your fears, and only when you are free of your fears can you truly live.

Has every line inside of you been crossed? Is there anything left unviolated? Are you so comfortable with your imprisonment you feel free?

As the master builder of your own life, build an open space, with room for your soul to breath, and be free.

Creativity flourishes where there is freedom.

When one learns to focus energy through surrender and sensitivity, they become free, and can access the expansiveness of endless possibility.

Your true purpose is to become your own unique self, and to do so with happiness and freedom from fear.

Beyond the clumsy, brute force tools of will, determination and hard work - and free from the heavy attachment of want, and the illusions of burden and blocks, is the true technology of creation through beingness.

Freedom is the realization that it is sufficient to simply be a human being.

Your personal declaration of will is the first step in a seemingly impossible journey.

The greatest crimes in the world are not committed against the body, but against the freedom of the consciousness.

The freest societies are in a constant state of revolution.

The world is starving for leaders who are not afraid to dismantle the sacred and precious beliefs, which hold us as prisoners of the past.

Our natural rights come from an authority beyond the petty rule of man.

Let the change begin with your choices this very moment.

True freedom and power only comes when one is free of attachments.

The ultimate male tradition is keeping women from sitting at the table of conversation regarding the balance of power between genders.

Free your mind and free yourself from brand slavery.

Monoculture wants you to forget that the joy of life is in the community of the village, where you can touch, taste, smell, feel and experience a motley potpourri of cultural vicissitudes.

The mythology of freedom under capitalism for the average person is a con job.

When we try to control, we become controlled; when we release, we become free.

All ideas in a truly free society should always be open for discussion.

Let your greatest possession be the ability to let go of any possession, joyfully.

No nation's flag is great or glorious if it flies over the weak and downtrodden, even if they raise and protect it out of misguided allegiance.

As free as you allow others to be, such freedom you create for yourself.

Any act of violence creates resentment and resistance, because humans were meant to be free.

No marketplace, free or otherwise, is good when it fails to consider the basic human state of needs at every stage of life.

Even when the strings are broken in our lives, the sweet music plays on in our hearts.

All truthful music is familiar to the ear, for its notes were written into our souls long ago.

Changing your mind can move you into another dimension. Passages materialize exposing a hidden world that was there all along.

Connecting with yourself and knowing yourself is life changing.

Change takes time. It takes time for the seeds to begin growing within, time to understand and process, time for the growth to mature, and time for the old self to die and fall away.

Every positive thought is a silent prayer which will change your life.

You don't need to change everything in your life instantly. All you need is one positive thought.

If you are unhappy with your life and the state of the world, the best place to start changing things is within yourself.

Change will never happen if you lack the ability and courage to see yourself for who you really are.

Your attitudes lie at the heart of any possibility for changing your life.

Even non-change is imperceivable change, because inaction will slowly change you from what you could have been, to what you never will be.

Changing your mind and your attitude can move you into what seems like another dimension.

They say just give up; that the world cannot be changed. Just live your life the best you can. Bullshit!

They say the world has always struggled with injustice and always will. But change is more possible than ever before.

Are you so dead inside you don't feel the daily anguish, terror and deathly suffering of millions? What happened to you? You've changed.

Change comes from confrontation. You have to be confronted or confront yourself.

One of the fastest ways you can profoundly change your life is to rid yourself of toxic people.

The tides of change have great purpose in our lives.

Sometimes we may seem to be resisting letting go, when really, we just can't see a way to move forward - believing things can never change for someone as unworthy as us.

Changing yourself changes everything.

We are all artificial and have been unnaturally changed by violence and unwholesome conditioning.

The very "least" among us has the enormous power to effect change through small acts of determination and will.

Lay down your cynicism, and believe in the transformational power of love.

We must remember that we cannot change others, we can only change ourselves.

The time for revolt is now, and the time for revolt is always!

Turn towards love, and become love.

Change will never happen when people lack the ability and courage to see themselves for who they are.

Through TV people turn their family living rooms into meditative dens of death and violence worship.

People on corporate conveyor belts, like animals in slaughter-chutes are all part of the same big massacre of joy.

Institutions have processes favoring efficiency over loss, and process over people.

Nations and governments come and go, but people remain, and therefore people are the ultimate foundation of what is real and worthy.

Lead your life with love and friendship; self-love as your own friend.

I talk to children like adults and to adults like children.

Children playing while in the background the TV blares with screams, gunfire and rape-murder scenes. It seeps in.

Our culture of violence is an incubator, where our children are the crop of future techno-warrior killers.

The secret to unseating great power, is not to move the other direction, but to compete directly against their goals.

Taking care of yourself is the most powerful way to begin to take care of others.

A moment of truth is very powerful. Instead of smiling to be polite, just frown. Instead of laughing when you are nervous or uncomfortable, just speak your truth. Instead of acting like everything is all right, proclaim it isn't alright, and talk about your feelings! Honor your truth. Honor yourself. Be real.

Worry is the opposite of power.

When you blame others, you are affirming that you have no power, and your existence is only a reaction to the power of others.

It is astounding what power being kind, mannered, polite and considerate has in transforming your life.

Being powerful means shifting our minds away from our troubles and into solution-thinking.

Your power and brilliance is the the most awesome force life could muster.

You are powerful, if you choose to be.

People can only have power over you if you are seeking to have power over others.

The most powerful manifesting is realized by those who walk in love and create through love.

Privileged groups work for greater power consolidation through favoritism.

Cultivate clarity, strength, vitality and power from natural, beautiful and organic living foods.

The authentic human has the might of compassion and the creative power to do any manner of good.

National identity acts as a consumer lever to manipulate the emotions of the masses, for the purposes of power regulation and the fulfillment of agenda

The battlefields of life were first meadows and gardens. We made them into battlefields, and by the same power, we must release the dark spell, so they are meadows and gardens once again.

Women do not need a knight in shining armor or a Prince Charming to come to their rescue.

Women are controlled by men like a currency of the world.

The male-dominated systems know they cannot maintain their current power structures if and when the woman is restored to her natural and powerful state as a great leader and co-creator.

The world will change when women reclaim their power as the sane, nurturing hands of love, which are ever reaching to cultivate a world of beauty, safety and harmony.

Any profession you engage in, no matter how profitable, unless it is truly helpful and good for others, is a crime against your soul, and the world.

The fish does not know it is wet. America is immersed in violence. The violence is in our souls. The enemy is within.

The adept is only adept, because such an instrument she crafted and bowed her soul to be.

It's amazing what money can't do.

The joy and smile of even one child is worth more than the prancing intellects of a thousand men, for we are, that we might have joy, and be free.

Don't dwell on sadness. Joy will take you where you want to go.

Joy is a practice, not an involuntary state.

The greatest joys are found not only in what we do and feel, but also in what we hope for.

The intellect can only think about or analyze joy, but cannot feel it.

Start the daily practice of joyful living.

Find your own joy within and then greater joy will be added to you.

The true creator-self is a light-at-heart and care-free child, who accesses destiny as a simple act of joyful play.

Chasing the external to achieve joy is a death-trap for personal-development.

Brightly burning passion is the releasing of your essence, your specialness and your gifts to the world.

One passionate heart can brighten the world. From person to person the chain reaction burns through us - setting heart to heart ablaze, and lighting the way for us all!

Having a purpose is one thing, but the quickening is a total animation of passion.

It is essential that you follow your own idea of passion, even if to others it looks like suffering.

There is no greater sensation of consciousness than to expend yourself completely through the quickening fires of passion.

Global libertarianism would be a borderless world society.

Society has a herd psychology, so until we have more good shepherds we are lost.

We believe we are the consumers, but we are the consumed.

Turn to your community and the great earth for sustenance and knowledge.

Males have been groomed since birth, according to the specifications of a sick and perverse society, to become instruments of war.

We are sitting on top of a vast cultural and historical pyramid of accumulated misconceptions, lies and myths, built one on top of the other.

Modern society, the political body, the legal and judiciary system, the state of governance, capitalism and the very fabric of the society itself, including our religions and so-called morals and values, are institutions steeped in traditions of absolute and total violence.

A disposable society is only fit for disposable people.

Your personal health is your greatest possession; the most significant foundation of any future you will have.

Your attitudes are literally seeds for the growing of your future self.

Your attitudes contain your future.

Your future begins with your next thought.

When people have poor confidence in the future, you can be confident of a poor future.

Real limitations can be reasonably challenged and expanded, but a hobbled mind is not going anywhere.

Your life is always a perfect reflection of your state of heart and mind, and of your truest identity.

Enjoyable social interaction, community and laughter has a healing effect on the mind and body.

There is a simple path to follow, that appears only when you calm your mind.

The fulcrum of resistance is in your mind where you pit yourself against the weight of the external.

The real battlefield is the realm of ideas.

The natural and untainted male mind respects and loves the woman and her magnificent scope of capability and creative gifts.

Within you is the power of unlimited creation.

Impatience, resentment, jealousy and endless "want" are not creative attractors and have no value.

The most effective form of creation is an act of cooperation, not force.

Life wants you to thrive in the domain of your own unique creative vision for your yourself.

Everything you wish to "create" is already there, waiting for you.

At the very basic level all people are creators. We are all creating at every moment.

Our creations are the outward expressions of our inner truths.

There is nothing higher-class than real craftsmanship, diversity, originality and the service of skilled human hands.

Creativity is the greatest expression of liberty.

Depression lives and grows in the swamp of need.

Learn to experience yourself without judging yourself.

When we harm others we harm ourselves; when we help others we help ourselves.

Learning your lesson from a mistake is healthy, but living forever in the emotions of your past mistakes is toxic and debilitating.

Beating yourself up over every perceived mistake is the work of an internal abuser who must be restrained and reformed.

When teaching someone a boundary, they learn less from the enforcement of the boundary, and more from the way the boundary is established.

Learn to understand your energy and how you create with your energy.

If you set a clear standard for yourself; for how you wish to be treated - people take note.

We all make mistakes, but one of our biggest mistakes is continually revisiting the past.

Educate yourself. Learn everything you can and then let knowledge yield to kindness.

Speak kindly to and of yourself.

There is a huge difference between learning about truth and experiencing truth. Touch the source.

People who are out of control desperately need to observe your healthy boundaries in-play to learn from your example.

Your unresolved issues will continue to call-in experiences to teach you what you need to learn.

A person who is humble would never be abusive or selfish; so don't abuse yourself or withhold self-love or self-care.

If you have a deep desire to move forward, a way is being prepared for you.

Life's pressure is equal to your resistance.

There are natural phases to all life and wherever you are in life, you are perfectly becoming.

There are possibilities that exist beyond our present "knowing," and to see those possibilities, we must abandon that which makes us feel safe.

Every symbol, word, concept, discipline and field is only a temporary rest stop on the highway of discovery.

Lifelong learning is like a never ending personal revolution.

Knowledge is that possession that no misfortune can destroy, no authority can revoke, and no enemy can control. This makes knowledge the greatest of all freedoms.
