“People know when they’ve betrayed themselves. They are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. They hear the voice that says, “You shouldn’t have said that” or “You know that’s not right.””

Seeing and admitting the truth about ourselves, about our role in creating our own problems, and about how we relate to others is vital for healing.

Every single choice we make is either going to enhance the spirit or drain it. Every day, we’re either giving ourselves power or taking it away.

To love yourself, truly love yourself, is to finally discover the essence of personal courage, self-respect, integrity, and self-esteem. These are the qualities of grace that come directly from a soul with stamina.

The moment you come to trust chaos, you see God clearly. Chaos is divine order, versus human order. Change is divine order, versus human order. When the chaos becomes safety to you, then you know you’re seeing God clearly.

Knowing that every single day is so filled with potential – you cannot wait for life to give you anything. You have no right to feel entitled. You are not entitled to anything.

Human reasoning can never answer the mysteries of our lives.

Managing the power of choice, with all it’s creative and spiritual implications, is the essence of the human experience.

You will always receive help within a second of a prayer. To recognize the help, you must see everything in your life from that second on as a part of the answer to your prayer.

By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.

Get bored with your past, it’s over!

Never, ever mistreat someone who loves you. Because you’re not entitled to that love.

Silence is a learned practice that requires far more than just not talking. Not talking is not silence; it’s just not talking.

Never blame another person for your personal choices – you are still the one who must live out the consequences of your choices.

Fate is how your life unfolds when you let fear determine your choices. A path of destiny reveals itself to you, however, when you confront your fear and make conscious choices.

Follow your pain as if it were a candle in the night, leading you to a place of decision.

A breakthrough occurs when you recognize, you are more energy than matter.

Traditionally in Christian circles, Judas in fact has been associated with Jews. Of being traitors, avaricious, who in fact, betray Jesus, who are Christ-killers. And this portrayal of Judas of course also leads then to horrendous acts of anti-Semitism through the centuries.

Betrayal betrays the betrayer.

‎The party that leans upon the workers but serves the bourgeoisie, in the period of the greatest sharpening of the class struggle, cannot but sense the smells wafted from the waiting grave.

We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.

It is not the tree that forsakes the flower, but the flower that forsakes the tree.

The tree forsakes not the flower: the flower falls from the tree.

Remember that what has once been done may be done again.

The lovesick, the betrayed, and the jealous all smell alike.
