Spiritual Growth Quotes

― Rose Rosetree, The New Strong: Stop Fixing Yourself—And Actually Accelerate Your Personal Growth!

“Whenever you ask God to help your inner life, it's impossible to ask too much. Give yourself permission to ask big. Demand that God give you more than a thimble-sized blessing.

Ask for huge amounts of self-love, self confidence, spiritual awakening, clarity, personal power. Or choose anything else that will strengthen you.”
― Rose Rosetree, Empath Empowerment in 30 Days

“Standing still, I watched the world heave and swirl around me in the air. The sandy earth of the beach was making itself visible to my young heart, reminding me that it still lived and breathed. I grounded myself in the granules and refused to let the wind take me away.

I could barely see through the thick yellow sand that smeared the air. It held me entranced within its existence.”
― Susan L. Marshall, Adira and the Dark Horse

“I always wonder what hope I will find across the terrain. It changes
all the time. Right now, the wind plays with it, tossing its dirt in the air, challenging the terrain to ground itself. I remind myself that in fierceness, there is also a delicate beauty. You just have to look in the right place to find it.”
― Susan L. Marshall, Adira and the Dark Horse

“Although your heart is in the right place, let’s take a fresh look at all you’ve been told about seeking Enlightenment: Not only beautiful; sadly, that teaching is also probably wrong. Why? Quite simply, it’s outdated”

“Of course, the Age of Awakening should matter to every spiritual seeker. Ever since the Shift, on December 21, 2012, it has become far easier and far faster than ever before... to reach Spiritual Enlightenment. But why, exactly? In subtle ways, human consciousness—your consciousness—functions differently now. That matters. You see, moving toward Enlightenment involves your personal consciousness.”

“This hand, it is mine,
yet when I pick up a pencil
it has a mind of its own.

It has a story to draw,
beating the breath of life
through its lines and shapes,
across the wide, open paper.

If I just attune myself
to the unravelling melody,
I know I will be able to take that journey
and heal the torn, aching world.”
― Susan L. Marshall, All the Hope We Carry

“Grass must bring life.”
― Susan L. Marshall, All the Hope We Carry

“Like clay was the sand in my fingers,
moulding into hooded, echoing figures.
Past clay voices mixed with sea water,
gurgling words of anger and blame.

I now smear sand clay upon my dress,
white linen heavy with new marks.
I carry the harsh voices as I spin around
and open my arms to the lighthouse.

[New Clay Linen]”
― Susan L. Marshall, Bare Spirit: The Selected Poems of Susan Marshall

“She could envision Jesus out on the stormy waves calling her to join him, and not to depend on the laws of nature. She’d just need to keep her focus on the Savior and move forward in these tossing waves. To keep looking down on the watery sprays trying to sink her would be her undoing. As her father understood and often repeated, she now saw the storm warning. “You win some, you lose some.” Could Jesus defy natural endings?”
― Lynn Byk, The Fearless Moral Inventory of Elsie Finch

“As we grow closer to Jesus, He gradually unveils our own deepest longings and desires. That’s because we belong to Him. We are created in His own image and likeness, and we find all our true answers in Him and in the desires of His heart. So quiet your mind, and let Him fill you up with His love.”

“Meditation is the beginning of a long journey. If you allow the journey much can happen, but it depends on you and how much you allow. It is difficult to allow, because it needs trust. It needs trust, because the journey includes challenges and taking risks. 
It is a journey from the know into the unknown. They journey moves into unknown territory, where you have to leave the ego aside. You have to leave your strategies of self-defence, resistance and security. You have to leave the shore on which you have lived and move towards the vast ocean. 
If one takes the risk of dropping the ego, the other shore is reached immediately, So be ready for the ultimate journey, and be fearless in absolute trust.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Meditation is the beginning of freedom, freedom from politics, freedom from religion and freedom from bondage. It is to enter
into universality.
A meditator is not identified with a certain country. He is not Swedish, Indian or American, he is simply human. He is not white or black, because he is not the body. He is not Christian, Hindu or Mohammedan,
because ideology belongs to the mind and meditation is to transcend the mind.
All social forces are against individual freedom. Society destroys individuals, so one has to know the strategy to escape from the
prison of society and the church.
Meditation is the way to come out of the prison, and learn the language of freedom. It changes your consciousness, it changes how you see things. And the freedom that has always been within you become released, which changes you at your very roots.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace

“Spiritual growth is very difficult to define. If it is a depth of understanding of the human condition, you will grow more by living and serving and talking to people than you will ever learn in a class of any kind. If it is understanding of yourself, you will learn the most by challenging your fears and dislikes, and few people stick with a class that they fear and dislike. If it is a happy feeling that all is right with the world and there is a plan and everything is wonderful and good…you can get it from heroin cheaper and faster.”
― Rory Miller, Meditations on Violence: A Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence

“The faithful soul finds its good in everything that affects it”
― A. Carthusian, The Prayer of Love and Silence

― Bodhisattva Shree Swami Premodaya
