“Your problem is not love.Your problem is that you are not able to accept yourself, to stand on your own feet, to treat yourself with respect, to do something in such a way that you can feel you have value.Your value must arise from within you; it must not be given to you by someone […]
“Death is more important than life. Life is quite trivial, superficial. Death is deeper. Through death you grow into real life… through life you only reach death and nothing more. What we call and mean by life is merely a journey toward death. If you can understand that your whole life is only a journey […]
From Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God: “There is a way to be happy in a relationship, and that is to use it for its true purpose, rather than for a purpose you have invented for yourself… Relationships are a constant challenge; they constantly call you to create, express, and experience ever-higher aspects of yourself—ever […]
Neale Donald Walsch: “Enlightenment means understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and no need to be anyone other than exactly who you are in this moment.”
Osho, from Glimpses of a Golden Childhood: “Love is good, simply good, but it is not enough to give you wings.

Neale Donald Walsch: “Feeling is the language of the soul. If you want to understand your truth about something, look at what you feel about it. Sometimes feelings are difficult to uncover and often even more difficult to accept. But in your deepest feelings lies your highest truth. The trick is to reach those feelings.” […]
The text below is from Osho’s Book of Secrets. He presents a very simple yet effective way of working with the emotions that arise in our relationships with other people, transforming them into awareness and inner strength. The technique (meditation) is as follows: “When a mood for or against someone arises, do not direct it […]
Osho: “Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates.”
Osho: “Settle deeply into your ‘yes.’ Say ‘yes’ to everything. Say ‘yes’ to the good and to the bad, to day and night, to summer and winter. Say ‘yes’ to success and to failure. Say ‘yes’ to life and to death. Forget everything else except this single word ‘yes,’ and this can totally transform your […]
Osho: “The language of logic is aggressive, argumentative, violent, egocentric. The language of love is concerned with the other—how to help the other grow and transform. For the first, what is said is important; for the second, how it is said matters. The first is debate; the second is communion.” Translation from Bulgarian
