“Animal intuitives can diagnose an animal’s physical health problems by listening to the animals.”

Not because I’m fascinated by the human body or want to understand death, but I like people and I want to help them. That also became my problem, because I couldn’t help everyone, I couldn’t fix everyone.

I grew up with sentiments such as, “Do what will make you happy, troubles are God’s redirections that something good will come from.

If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: love heals.

You can find examples of how little we value ourselves everywhere you look. The signs on the front of the convenience stores where Stephen lives in Florida tell the story. Beer, ice, bread and milk are the big come-ons.

How will you know whether you are letting life teach you and nourish you? If your physical senses become more sensitive to the beauty you see.

God is in everyone and everything. When we save each other or guide each other or just love each other.

Do not be afraid to love. Remember dear old Don Quixote, viewing the world with love. He saw many beautiful things no one else saw. Try being dear Don Quixote for a day.

Life is an opportunity to contribute love in your own way.

Who else do you admire, and exactly what do you admire about them? Have your roster of role models ready and waiting to help you the next time you are perplexed.

Don’t try to help people to ‘not die’, help them to enjoy life!

I find new and healing images in that dark, silent place away from emotions that control me.

I’ve learned to ask people, “You’re doing very well so what are you doing? Let me tell other people.” So what’s made me who I am, my experience.

When you wake up and act like a loving person, you realize not only that you are altered, but that the people around you are also transformed, because everybody is changed by the reception of this love.

If our wholeness is interrupted, then our health suffers, and we need to find a way to restore our sense of meaning. When we move in the direction of that meaning, we’re healing.

Our authority figures, particularly our parents are hypnotic. Their words are hypnotic literally to small children because of brain wave patterns.

I learned to say, “You didn’t die when you were supposed to so what’s going on?”, and they always had a story to tell me.

Empathy is intuitive, but it is also something you can work on intellectually.

Carefully watch how people live, get an intuitive sense as to what they might want and then go with it.

With even a little intuitive wisdom we will be able to see clearly the ways of the world.

Each genre has its own process. I’m very intuitive about poetry. I usually write first and second drafts out by hand. The other end of the spectrum is journalism, which is much more cerebral, more thought-out and planned.

There is an intuitive knowing within us that we are eternal but this gets covered over with the noise we create while identifying with the impermanent.
