Quotes About Authenticity

Nothing is so beautiful and wonderful, nothing is so continually fresh and surprising, so full of sweet and perpetual ecstacy, as the good. No desert is so dreary, monotonous, and boring as evil. This is the truth about authentic good and evil. With fictional good and evil it is the other way round. Fictional good is boring and flat, while fictional evil is varied and intriguing, attractive, profound, and full of charm.

Las mismas palabras [por ejemplo, un hombre dice a su mujer, te amo] pueden ser triviales o extraordinarias según la forma en que se digan. Y esa forma depende de la profundidad de la región en el ser de un hombre de donde procedan, sin que la voluntad pueda hacer nada.

We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don´t know who we really are, or what aspects of ourselves we should identify with or believe in.

The best way to avoid low-level telepathy is to turn off that channel by focusing on what and who you love. Doing this shifts your focus to your spirit and automatically tunes you in to your higher telepathic channel, the heart. The telepathy of the heart does not broadcast spirit-to-spirit. It is a much higher frequency, one where we connect with one another from our highest, most authentic, Divine selves.

When you speak from the heart—your true Self—with courage, conviction, and calm, any psychic hold from the past is broken and you quickly reconnect to your inner voice and get back into a harmonious flow with your spirit.

Transcending the limiting ego version of who you are and connecting with your empowered spirit when times are difficult takes imagination, intention, and help from others. It's part of our soul's work to learn to live an empowered, authentic life and not merely be a prerecorded tape replaying the past mistakes of others.

you may question or even deny a bad vibe because you have no hard evidence to back up what you're feeling. Don't compromise your safety by falling into this trap.

You may have to take a little heat for your suspicions, especially from five-sensory people who deny almost everything, but who cares?
