“Self awareness allows you to self-correct.”

I remember being young in the 1960s. We had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.

Authentic Christians are persons who stand apart from others. Their character seems deeper, their ideas fresher, their spirit softer, their courage greater, their leadership stronger, their concerns wider, their compassion more genuine and their convictions more concrete.

God led Jesus to a cross, not a crown, and yet that cross ultimately proved to be the gateway to freedom and forgiveness for every sinner in the world.

Your culture will only ever be as healthy as the senior leader wants it to be.

Life is too short and the world too compassion-starved for you to keep subsisting in situations that drag you down and curtail your potential to help advance the Kingdom. There’s just too much at stake.

Most of us are far too busy for our own spiritual good.

Everyone wins when a leader gets better

For a marriage relationship to flourish, there must be intimacy. It takes an enormous amount of courage to say to your spouse, ‘This is me. I’m not proud of it – in fact, I’m a little embarrassed by it – but this is who I am.

Most people feel best about themselves when they have given their very best.

Is the ambient noise level of my life low enough for me to hear the whispers of the Lord?

There isn’t a single motivation, thought, act, or word that has slipped out of your being and escaped the full, undivided attention of God.

It helps certain church leaders identify the fact that they have the spiritual gift of leadership that the Bible talks about in Romans 12:8.

God wants to father all of us until we’re dead sure of his approval, his guiding power and his promise of heaven.

If you lower the ambient noise of your life and listen expectantly for those whispers of God, your ears will hear them. And when you follow their lead, your world will be rocked.

How do you pray a prayer so filled with faith that it can move a mountain? By shifting your focus from the size of your mountain to the sufficiency of the Mountain Mover and then stepping forward in obedience.

The more varied the environments in which you exercise your leadership gift, the stronger that gift will become. You will become a far more effective leader.

The practice of ‘asanas’ and ‘pranayama’ wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.

We do not mature through age. We mature in awareness.

Give up identification with this mass of flesh as well as with what thinks it a mass. Both are intellectual imaginations. Recognise your true self as undifferentiated awareness, unaffected by time, past, present or future, and enter Peace.

Train your mind to see in all people, what they do not see in themselves. Begin to treat every person you come in contact with as the most important person in the world. Look at them with new awareness.

The real alchemy is transforming the base self into gold or into spiritual awareness. That’s really what new alchemy’s all about.

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or pure consciousness.

Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.

You are the light of consciousness and also the witness of this light. You are pure awareness.
