“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.

Powerful Quotes by Joseph Campbell
April 12, 2008
“Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn’t have opened for anyone else.” Joseph Campbell
“People say that what we’re seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. Joseph Campbell

“Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable, it’s off. But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you are not married.” Joseph Campbell
“The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called following your bliss.” Joseph Campbell

“Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul. For just as the wind carries thousands of winged seeds so each moment brings with it germs of spiritual vitality that come to rest imperceptibly in the minds and wills of men.

The greater the heaven you create here, within your own kingdom of thought and emotion, the greater the heaven you will experience when you leave this plane. Those whose thoughts are steeped in guilt, judgment of self and others, and bitterness and hatred toward their brothers, will leave this plane only to continue to experience those attitudes until they learn from them - until they have had their gut full of them and realize that there are grander ways to be and greater heavens to experience.” Ramtha
-
“The less you think of yourself, the less you become. The less you give credit to yourself for having intelligence, the more of an imbecile you become. The less beautiful you think you are, the more ugly you become. The more impoverished you think you are, the more wretched you become - because YOU have ordained it to be so.” Ramtha
“Each entity knows before he comes here that he is not coming back to be the grand beauty or the wealthy entity or the wretched pauper. He comes here because he wants to live here and to be enterprising in emotional learning on this level - to obtain EMOTIONAL understandings that he wants to fulfill within his being. That is the true treasure of your life experiences, whether here or on other planes or dimensions, for that is the only thing that remains with you throughout eternity.” Ramtha
“To be desireless, there is nothing wrong with that at all. I will tell you why. Most that are filled with unquenchable desires never know who they are for they are too busy wanting. When you realize that everything you want is within you, then the Source brings a treasure at your doorstep and leaves it there every moment of being. And you have everything you ever wanted - YOU.” Ramtha
“Wisdom is accumulated emotion. That is what makes each entity different from all others who come to this plane. You will not experience the things you have already experienced and understood, for you will have no DESIRE to. The things that you have yet to understand, adventures that hold the promise of fulfillment and wisdom, you will always be drawn to, for they will excite you, tempt you, intrigue you, puzzle you. If you will simply allow yourself to be, and listen to the urgings within your being, the feelings within you, you will always be experiencing what you are most needing in order to expand your wondrous self into greater wisdom and perpetual joy.” Ramtha
“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.” Mother Teresa

Thinking Positive
March 26, 2008
A lot of the work that I do with my clients, who come to me for Quantum Biofeedback sessions, is I teach them about the law of attraction. The law of attraction, by definition, says that that which is like unto itself is drawn and when you ask it is always given. This means that if you can convince yourself that you can have anything then it has to be yours. The issue is how do you convince yourself that you can have something when you believe that you cannot?
Because the most powerful law in the universe is the law of attraction and because everything is created through thought first, we must allow ourselves to imagine that we can have the well-being that we deserve. A belief is just a thought that you keep thinking and if you have a negative belief you must counteract it with a positive one. It is difficult to begin doing this because your conscious mind will tell you that you are lying to yourself. However, if you are persistent in practicing that you can have something that you want then you begin to feel like you already have it and when that happens that is when it comes into your life.
Affirmations are the best way that I know to change a negative focus into a positive one. My clients constantly ask me to give them affirmations that they can use on a daily basis so I’ve decided to include some of them here on my blog. The word God appears in many of these affirmations. If you do not believe in God, these affirmations can still serve you. The reason why people do not believe in God is because they have been taught, through many religions, that God is outside of them and people believe that there is no God because if there was then God would eliminate the evil from this planet. Through all that I have studied about the law of attraction, I have learned that there is no separation between what is God and what we are because each of us has unlimited power — God force within us — so; therefore, we are God too. The name of Christ also appears because He was a great teacher who revealed the true power of man. We are all special and we have not come here to rely on a God that is outside of us to create our lives — God has given the power of creation to each of us. So we must use it!
Please feel free to use these affirmations and if you have others that you like, please send them to me because I love collecting them.
