Quotes from James Van Praagh

We are all the same. God has not chosen one group above another. When we dare to be aware, we will raise our understanding and compassion and see everyone as part of the universal energy of God. We will be free of prejudice and hatred based on someone's color, race, sex, or gender preference. God is not limited. Only humans limit their thinking.

When you consider your thoughts, know that they are as real to the subconscious of the person you're thinking about as if you picked up your cell phone and said them out loud. Take responsibility for your thoughts; they're not just yours. They go shooting out of you to the intended target just like arrows. That's why meditation is so relaxing—your archers can take a break!

When people live lives of spiritual awareness and mindfulness, everything they do and say can change the lives of others. Those random acts of kindness can alter someone's attitude.

The mystery of life doesn't seem so mysterious if you venture inward and listen to your soul's voice.

And in the end, its not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Stay positive. When you resist change, you are trying too hard to control the outcome and not paying enough attention to the process.

To me, God is an energy and I am made of it. I am not separate from God, and neither is anything you see.

When you're filled with Spirit, you feel a connectedness and oneness with everyone. Your soul will have a sense of joy and peace, with a focus on service to others.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

Random acts of kindness such as a smile to a stranger carry more weight than attending church every Sunday out of obligation. You can literally change the energy field around you by keeping your thoughts high-minded, and only attract those who gravitate toward the higher vibration. Remember that like attracts like, so when you bring that energy into your life, only good things can happen—and what you reap may arise from something you had no conscious awareness of sowing.

Mistakes are the best way to understand your strengths and weaknesses, but they will bear fruit only if you acknowledge them and view them as opportunities to learn, instead of defeats.

Remember that ghosts can read your mind and recognize your fear, and if you don't respect them by entering their world with knowledge and preparation, the results can have dire physical, mental, and emotional effects on you and anyone with you.

Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame. —Erica Jong

Father's house are many mansions …" I believe this to mean the different planes within the Spiritual Realms that our souls are drawn to (after the death of the human body)

It doesn't matter what others think of you if you are fulfilling your life's purpose. If you worry about what other people think or say, you give away your power, and that is a surefire way to live an unfulfilled life. You must not try to be like others. Be original. Speak differently, act differently, and work differently. A spiritless person lacks courage and energy. Remember the child you once were?

Without mindfulness, we let our old, habitual behaviors and emotions cause us to wipe out in the tumultuous surf.

When you are full of problems, there is no room for anything new to enter, no room for a solution." — ECKHART TOLLE, THE POWER OF NOW

Fear, in its many guises, is here to test you. Surrendering to fear only limits you and makes your path more difficult. Know that fear is an illusion and a trickster and that there are tools to help you resist it.

The more we make an effort to keep our thoughts positive, the more pleasurable our journey in life will be.

We all come to this planet as spiritual beings destined to experience a variety of challenges and situation in order to grow and evolve spiritually.

Spiritual evolution is part of every soul's destiny on Earth, and each soul grows and evolves at a different rate. You are right where you need to be.

Once you realize you're a spiritual being, you see life so differently. You respect things. You're more responsible to yourself and others.

No one is in your life by mistake.

Our fears can cause us to miss out on a lot of experiences and golden opportunities. Don't let your fears rob you of your life.
