“From the Soul using the body as an instrument, it does not follow that the Soul must share the body’s experiences: a man does not himself feel all the experiences of the tools with which he is working.”

You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty that is superior to reason.

Until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendour of virtue, until you shall see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine.

When we look outside of that on which we depend we ignore our unity; looking outward we see many faces; look inward and all is one head.

Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat?

A dogma recognized throughout antiquity… (that) the soul expiates its sins in the darkness of the infernal regions and… afterwards… passes into new bodies, there to undergo new trials.

God is not external to anyone, but is present with all things, though they are ignorant that He is so.

Knowledge, if it does not determine action, is dead to us.

It is in virtue of unity that beings are beings.

Never did eye see the sun unless it had first become sun-like, and never can the soul have vision of the First Beauty unless itself be beautiful.

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being.

We must not run after it, but we must fit ourselves for the vision and then wait tranquilly for it.

We are not separated from spirit, we are in it.

Now we are become a dual thing, no longer that which we were at first, dormant, and in a sense no longer present.

Withdraw into yourself and look.

Each one of us is part of the soul of the universe

Knowing demands the organ fitted to the object.

I feel that’s why people can connect so well with it because it’s all honest.

I try to be open with everybody, try to make everybody feel welcome and make them feel like, hey, I’m an easy person to talk to, get along with.

I did what I could, just stay true to yourself.If you feel that this is something that’s valid and you should go out there and win.

There are books that change the way you feel and see; this is one of them.

It feels good to give back to the people who support you.

Once I get comfortable and feel a part of what I’m doing.

I feel that when you have a passion and you are real.

I feel like pain is the quickest way to relate to someone because everybody has been through that and everybody has had a heartbreak.
