An authentically empowered person is humble. This does not mean the false humility of one who stoops to be with those who are below him or her. It is the inclusiveness of one who responds to the beauty of each soul. ... It is the harmlessness of one who treasures, honours and reveres life in all its forms.
Gary ZukavBe aware of emotional toxins as well as physical toxins. Be aware of what you are thinking. Clear yourself at the end of every day. Try not to go to bed angry or distressed or anxious or jealous or envious.

Gary ZukavIts not possible to do the wrong thing. You do what you do and you experience the consequences of what you do. If you do not experience this before you doe, your soul creates a new life so that you can. This is reincarnation. Eventually, you treat people as you would like to be treated.
Gary ZukavYou are a dynamic being of Light that at each moment informs the energy that flows through you. You do this with each thought, with each intention.

Gary ZukavThe soul is that part of us that is immortal. It existed before the personality was born and it will exist after the personality is gone.

This process is becoming conscious.

Gary ZukavLack of self-worth is the fundamental source of all emotional pain. A feeling of insecurity, unworthiness and lack of valueis the core experience of powerlessness.

The intentions of your soul are harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life.
Gary ZukavIf we perceived life with reverence, we would stand in awe at the experience of physical life and walk the earth in a very deep sense of gratitude.
Gary ZukavIntuition is like a radio station.. No, intuition is more like a radio receiver and it can receive different stations. This radio receiver serves different functions, it serves your spirituality which is the development of your soul. It serves your physical survival.
