FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
HOW TO ATTRACT MONEY USING MIND POWER
If you are a fan of metaphysics, quantum physics, mind power, spirituality and spiritual growth, self-help, human potential, personal development, motivation, and the Law of Attraction, then you will love this book of James Goi Jr. quotes.
Spirituality is not something you learn about so much as it is something you learn to live. Spirituality is not a hobby. It is a way of life. To move along your spiritual journey, you’ll need to keep yourself immersed in the process of spiritual growth.
And to do that, most will need to study what has already been taught about the subject. But ultimately, spiritual growth is not the result of learning from outside sources. All true spiritual growth must come from within. The best any teacher or book can do is to act as a catalyst for you to find your way to Truth. And that's where this little book comes in. Read it with an open mind, and be amazed at the results.
From the book:
All that appears upon the surface emerges from the depths.
There is an unseen source of all that can be seen.
*****
What you are can never die.
But what you think you are
must die a thousand deaths.
*****
If you could perceive the formless with your senses,
it would not be the formless. If you could know the
unknowable with your mind, it would not be the unknowable.
The problem lies not with what you seek, but with the way
in which you seek it.
*****
There is one all-pervading substance within
which all that appears to happen happens.
Seek not to understand that which happens.
Seek to understand that within which it happens.
*****
All your knowledge keeps you from knowing.
The bird knows nothing of aerodynamics,
yet flies freely at will.
*****
The mind is as a paintbrush; the formless substance is as paint.
It is only upon the canvas of illusion that the formless can appear
to take form. But what is actually happening? Look not to the paintbrush
for the answer, but rather to the hand that holds it.
*****
What if the ultimate reality a human being can conceive of
is as a grain of sand on an endless beach? What if there is
something so far beyond symbols and language that it is beyond
human imagination and comprehension? What if the greatest
spiritual master that has ever lived can be likened to a child
on a playground who has not as yet so much as set foot inside
the schoolhouse? Thinking you know closes the mind. Knowing you
don't know allows the mind to continue learning.
*****
You are not what you perceive yourself to be.
You are that which is perceiving yourself perceiving
yourself to be what you perceive yourself to be.
