Belief

"When you become aware that your thinking has a life of its own, you will never make a prison of your own perception."

"When your thinking is locked in false certainty or negativity it puts so many interesting and vital areas of life out of your reach. You live impoverished in the midst of your own abundance."

"Belief should liberate your life. The reduction of the wild eternity of your life into a harsh divine project is a blasphemy against the call of your soul."

"Expectation is resentment waiting to happen."

"When you look at the different conflicts in your life, you will find that they are placed where the contradictions cross each other, the nail where two intimate, but conflicting realities criss-cross."

The Masculine

"Because the masculine is oriented toward freedom of consciousness (rather than flow of love), it chooses purpose over relationship.   The masculine seeks freedom through accomplishing a mission.   Ultimately, this is the blissful freedom of open consciousness.   If you are a man with a masculine essence, then freedom - expressed through your devotion to your purpose - is your ultimate concern.   Your intimate relationship comes second.   Your woman may be the most important person in your life.  You may truly love her.  But if you deny your deepest purpose to spend time with her, your resentment will grow, despite your love."  David Deida

Expectation
