"There is but one way to know the truth, and that is not a golden one. It is fraught with toil and sacrifice and perhaps ridicule. The seeker of the truth must be fearless, he must not be afraid to enter the innermost holies of holies, and to tear down the veils of superstition that hang about any human and so-called divine institution. It is the truth that makes men free. If the truth tears down every church and government under the sun, let the truth be known and this truth only will be known when men cease to swallow the capsules of ancient doctors of divinities and politics; and when men begin to seek the truth in the records of history, politics, religion, and science."     -Charles Austin Beard, 1898

You cannot win the hearts and minds of men by fighting for control,  you win the hearts and minds of men by inspiring them to lead.

"True Spiritual Awareness cannot be learned...it must be earned."   We cannot achieve true spiritual awareness and enlightenment entirely through the mind, reading books.  True Spiritual Awareness is earned by the way we choose to live our life.  -Denise Lescano, Copyright 2008 Denise Lescano

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace" ~ Jimi Hendrix

And if I go while you're still here, Know that I live on, Vibrating to a different measure, Behind a thin veil you cannot see through, You will not see me, So you must have faith, I wait for the time we are together again, Both aware of each other, Until then live your life to the fullest, And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart, And I will be there. -Unkown

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls. -Howard Thurman.

The Intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.  We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

-Albert Einstein

"Coming to Earth is about traveling away from our home to a foreign land.  Some things seem familiar but most are strange until we get used to them, especially conditions which are unforgiving.  Our real home is a place of Absolute Peace, Total Acceptance and Complete love.  As souls separated from our home we can no longer assume these beautiful features will be present around us.  On Earth we must learn to cope with intolerance, anger and sadness while searching for Joy and love.  We must not lose our integrity along the way, sacrificing goodness for survival and aquiring attitudes either superior or inferior to those around us.  We know that living in an imperfect world will help us to appreciate the true meaning of perfection.  We ask for courage and humility before our journey into another life.  As we grow in awareness so will the quality of our existence.  This is how we are tested.  Passing the test is our destiny."
Exerpt from, "Destiny of Souls", by Micahel Newton, PhD.

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events,and outcomes. It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results."

-UnknownThe Spiritual Externalist waits for reunification with God after death, while the Internalist feels part of the Oneness each and every day -Unknown

Resolve to succeed.  The greatest discovery one can make is that nothing is impossible.

It is attitude, not circumstance, that makes success possible in even the most unlikely circumstance. -Unknown
