I Love You
Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things. Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices. - St. Teresa of Avila
"First keep peace with yourself; then you will be able to bring peace to others. A peaceful man does more good than a learned man. Whereas a passionate man turns even good to evil and is quick to believe evil, the peaceful man, being good himself, turns all things to good." - Thomas Kempis, Imitation Christ
"Now, all our peace in this miserable life is found in humbly enduring suffering rather than in being free from it. He who knows best how to suffer will enjoy the greater peace, because he is the conqueror of himself, the master of the world, a friend of Christ, and an heir of heaven." - Thomas Kempis, imitation Christ
"Some people live at peace with themselves and with their fellow men, but others are never at peace with themselves nor do they bring it to anyone else. These latter are a burden to everyone, but they are more of a burden to themselves. A few, finally, live at peace with themselves and try to restore it to others." - Thomas Kempis, Imitation Christ
"It is no great thing to associate with the good and gentle, for such association is naturally pleasing. Everyone enjoys a peaceful life and prefers persons of congenial habits. But to be able to live at peace with harsh and perverse men, or with the undisciplined and those who irritate us, is a great grace, a praiseworthy and manly thing." - Thomas Kempis, Imitation Christ
"Direct your zeal, therefore, first upon yourself; then you may with justice exercise it upon those about you. You are well versed in coloring your own actions with excuses which you will not accept from others, though it would be more just to accuse yourself and excuse your brother. If you wish men to bear with you, you must bear with them. Behold, how far you are from true charity and humility which does not know how to be angry with anyone, or to be indignant save only against self!" - Thomas Kempis, Imitation Christ
"The man who is at perfect ease is never suspicious, but the disturbed and discontented spirit is upset by many a suspicion. He neither rests himself nor permits others to do so. He often says what ought not to be said and leaves undone what ought to be done. He is concerned with the duties of others but neglects his own." - Thomas Kempis, Imitation Christ
"FIRST keep peace with yourself; then you will be able to bring peace to others. A peaceful man does more good than a learned man. Whereas a passionate man turns even good to evil and is quick to believe evil, the peaceful man, being good himself, turns all things to good." - Thomas Kempis, Imitation Christ
“It’s easy to be a naive idealist. It’s easy to be a cynical realist. It’s quite another thing to have no illusions and still hold the inner flame.” - Marie-Louise von Franz
"*Don’t be daunted by the cross. The surest test of love consists in suffering for the loved one, and if God suffered so much for love, the pain we suffer for Him becomes as lovable as love itself.*" - Padre Pio
"WHY do you look for rest when you were born to work? Resign yourself to patience rather than to comfort, to carrying your cross rather than to enjoyment." - Thomas Kempis - Imitation Christi
“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.” - Padre Pio
"One makes a gift of one's life and endeavors by sanctifying it with love, and devotion and selfless service. When seeking to uplift others, we are uplifted in the process. Every kind thought or smile therefore benefits oneself as well as all the world." - David R. Hawkins
"The more recollected a man is, and the more simple of heart he becomes, the easier he understands sublime things, for he receives the light of knowledge from above. The pure, simple, and steadfast spirit is not distracted by many labors, for he does them all for the honor of God. And since he enjoys interior peace he seeks no selfish end in anything. What, indeed, gives more trouble and affliction than uncontrolled desires of the heart?" - Thomas Á Kempis
"Prayer is the best weapon we possess, the key that opens the heart of God." - Padre Pio
"My Lord, it is time to move on. Well then, may your will be done. O my Lord and my Spouse, the hour that I have longed for has come. It is time to meet one another." - Saint Teresa of Avila
"Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices." *- St. Teresa of Avila*
"And thou shouldest know that to be empty of all creature’s love is to be full of God, and to be full of creature-love is to be empty of God." - Meister Eckhart
"I do not know whether I have put this clearly; self-knowledge is of such consequence that I would not have you careless of it, though you may be lifted to heaven in prayer, because while on earth nothing is more needful than humility. Therefore, I repeat, not only a good way, but the best of all ways, is to endeavour to enter first by the room where humility is practised, which is far better than at once rushing on to the others. This is the right road;—if we know how easy and safe it is to walk by it, why ask for wings with which to fly? Let us rather try to learn how to advance quickly. I believe we shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavouring to know God, for, beholding His greatness we are struck by our own baseness, His purity shows our foulness, and by meditating on His humility we find how very far we are from being humble." - Teresa de Jesus
"If I were a king, and did not know it, I should not really be a king. But, if I were fully convinced that I was a king, and all mankind coincided in my belief, and I knew that they shared my conviction, I should indeed be a king, and all the wealth of the king would be mine. But, if one of these three conditions were lacking, I should not really be a king. In similar fashion our salvation depends upon our knowing and recognizing the Chief Good which is God Himself. I have a capacity in my soul for taking in God entirely. I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God. ... Now, how is the soul to arrive at this heavenly state that it recognizes God in itself, and knows that He is near? By copying the heavens, which can receive no impulse from without to mar their tranquility. Thus must the soul, which would know God, be rooted and grounded in Him so steadfastly, as to suffer no perturbation of fear or hope, or joy or sorrow, or love or hate, or anything which may disturb its peace." - #MeisterEckhart
"Fundamentally it is a normal phenomenon, which can be recognized with the greatest ease in the projections made by the primitive psyche. The tendency to split means that parts of the psyche detach themselves from consciousness to such an extent that they not only appear foreign but lead an autonomous life of their own. It need not be a question of hysterical multiple personality, or schizophrenic alterations of personality, but merely of so-called “complexes” that come entirely within the scope of the normal. Complexes are psychic fragments which have split off owing to traumatic influences or certain incompatible tendencies. As the association experiments prove, complexes interfere with the intentions of the will and disturb the conscious performance; they produce disturbances of memory and blockages in the flow of associations; they appear and disappear according to their own laws; they can temporarily obsess consciousness, or influence speech and action in an unconscious way. In a word, complexes behave like independent beings, a fact especially evident in abnormal states of mind. In the voices heard by the insane they even take on a personal ego-character like that of the spirits who manifest themselves through automatic writing and similar techniques. An intensification of complexes leads to morbid states, which are extensive multiple dissociations endowed with an indomitable life of their own." - #CarlJung
Ibn Sab'in emphasized the importance of direct mystical experience and inner realization. He encouraged individuals to cultivate a deep spiritual connection with God through contemplation, meditation, and inner awakening. Ibn Sab'in believed that true understanding of divine realities could only be attained through personal experience, rather than relying solely on intellectual or religious doctrines.
God realization in Kabbalah involves a deep and intimate connection with the divine, where one's consciousness becomes united with the essence of God. It is a state of heightened spiritual awareness and oneness with the divine presence. This realization goes beyond intellectual understanding and delves into the experiential realm. #Zohar #Kabbalah
From the #Gospel according to Matthew Mt 6,19-23 #Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be." “The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.”
"Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things Whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone suffices."
"The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth." - Meister Eckhart
BLESSED is he, O Lord my God, who has come to the understanding that thy love is better than all things that can be desired; and who, being enamoured of thee, is able to nod his head and to give up all other things, however desirable, for the sake of thy love. O my beloved Jesus, let my heart also feel this blessedness. Let it be inflamed with thy love, and let thy love be all my delight. Let it possess me wholly, and grow within me even unto perfect love. Let it so possess me, that I may not be able to think of anything but thee, or love anything but thee, or find joy in anything but thee. For this is the highest and most profitable lesson, to love thee above all things, as the true and only source of all happiness; and, having found thee, to lose everything else, however dear, for thy sake. O love, sweet beyond words, divine love, inflame us with thy holy flame! For what is there, O Lord, that we can desire, if we desire not thee? **And, if I have thy love, and nothing else, I am rich, and need no more.**" - The Imitation of Christ
"Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity. Enter again into yourself. In fasting, we are not merely abstaining from food, but we are also abstaining from whatever impairs or corrupts our senses or our spirits." - Saint Augustine
"Comfort is the enemy of growth." - Saint Augustine
"Nothing is so detrimental to the soul as comfort, for it is by endurance that we obtain possession of our souls." - Saint Teresa of Avila
Stages of individuation based on alchemy by #CarlJung The nigredo stage involves the individual confronting their shadow self and undergoing a process of dissolution and destruction. The albedo stage is characterized by purification and the emergence of the anima or animus. The citrinitas stage involves the integration of opposites, such as the conscious and unconscious, and the attainment of a new level of consciousness. The rubedo stage represents the culmination of the alchemical process, where the individual experiences a rebirth and a newfound sense of wholeness. #Individuation #CGJ

"Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside." - Ramana Maharshi
"Strive to preserve your heart in peace; let no event of this world disturb it; reflect that all must come to an end. You are here at present, and it is for you to make use of it for the glory of God and the good of your own soul. What is it to you whether this or that man be with or against you? You will not, on that account, be judged the more harshly by God. **One thing only is necessary, to stand firm in the midst of all trials, and not to lose courage or patience, but to submit oneself to God's will, whatever may happen. The endurance of darkness is the preparation for great light.**" - Saint John of the Cross
"Humility is the foundation of all the virtues; therefore, in a soul where it does not exist, there can be no true virtue, but the mere appearance only." - St. Augustine
"Humility is the foundation of all virtues." - Confucius
"The Red Book" is a deeply personal and introspective work that Jung began writing during a period of intense psychological crisis in his own life. In the book, he explores his own psyche, confronts his fears and anxieties, and searches for meaning and purpose in his life. At one point in the book, Jung writes about a powerful dream he had that left him feeling as though he had died and was reborn. He describes this experience as a transformative one, saying that he emerged from it with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of his own psyche. Throughout "The Red Book," Jung grapples with the themes of life and death, and he often uses symbols and imagery associated with death and rebirth to explore these ideas. For example, he writes about encountering a figure he calls the "Red One," who represents the transformative power of death and rebirth. Overall, "The Red Book" is a complex and deeply personal work that explores some of the most fundamental questions of human existence, including the nature of life, death, and the psyche. #CarlJung #CGJ #RedBook #Individuation

"The willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. It is one of the great virtues to which we all should aspire. Imagine a world filled with individuals willing both to apologize and to accept an apology. Is there any problem that could not be solved among people who possessed the humility and largeness of spirit and soul to do either -- or both -- when needed?" - David R. Hawkins #Doc #Forgivness #Spiritual

"Individuation is a process of differentiation, having for its goal the development of the individual personality. It is a process of making conscious the unconscious, discovering and fulfilling one's destiny, and becoming who one truly is." - Carl Jung
"True happiness is not the attainment of things, but the revelation of the inner Self." - David R. Hawkins
