I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Addictive Thinking and Ego

"A succinct definition of addictive thinking is believing that you must have something external to yourself in order to avoid suffering..   The ego wants you to think/feel that you are incomplete so that it can keep you striving for something instead of looking within and knowing the peace and harmony of the sacred self."  Wayne Dyer

Self Esteem

"When you need more of anything to feel positive about yourself, you are always in a race without a finish line."  Wayne Dyer

Guilt

"Simply pass when others attempt to have you choose guilt."  Wayne Dyer

Ego

"Your ego promotes a rather smooth flowing river of misery with fear, keeps you in a belief system that declares you are separate and special, prevents your from making the changes that will bring you into contact with your spiritual self, hands you guilt (the inner fear that you should pay a price for any and all mistakes), keeps you skeptical of your divinity, whispers that love is a high ideal loaded with danger.   It wants you not to give too much love because you may be taken advantage of.   All of these ideas keep you in a state of fear about giving and receiving love, which is enough to keep you under its influence."  Wayne Dyer

Peace

"Peace will come to you when you are a healer rather than a judge."  Wayne Dyer

Judgment

"You do not have to pretend that you love something that you loathe.  Just get still and let the judgment subside."  Wayne Dyer

Judgment

"Every judgment takes you away from peace.  Judging others with condemnation removes the possibility of your experiencing love."  Wayne Dyer

Peace

"You must offer peace to have it."  Wayne Dyer

Love and God

"When you experience love within, you have no guilt or fear.   You know that everything you are experiencing is in order, including your woes, which are your greatest teachers.   You know that death is a reward, not a punishment.  Therefore, you have nothing to fear unless you listen to your ego encouraging fear and dismissing God."  Wayne Dyer

Fear

"The presence of fear confirms an abdication of your higher self and an admission that God does not know what she is doing.  The opposite of fear is not courage; it is love."  Wayne Dyer

Freedom

"Freedom is accessible when your inner world is not focused on being offended, being separate or feeling special."   Wayne Dyer

Ego

"The ego tries to keep you looking outward in this futile attempt to find peace, you convince yourself that possessions will bring you peace and fulfillment you yearn for..   It rejoices as you focus all your energy on acquisitions.  It is impossible to consume your way to peace.  It leads to a lifetime of striving without ever arriving.  The ego is threatened  and frightened of your arriving.   It wants you to push yourself to new and more elaborate ways.  When you discontinue seeking what cannot be gotten from outside of yourself, you arrive and relax in peacefulness."  Wayne Dyer

Offense

"Whenever you are offended, you are at the mercy of your ego.   Setting up rules of how you are to be treated is a way of gauranteeing a terminal state of being offended."  Wayne Dyer

Love and Freedom

"Let no one enter your inner kingdom unless they come with love.   All others, you simply stand back and witness them and yourself in this little drama that is unfolding.  Once you stop the  false identification of yourself you are free.  Being the witness is your ticket to freedom."   Wayne Dyer

Energy

"Any energy that you  give to past events that is not based in love is energy that is keeping you from knowing your spiritual self."  Wayne Dyer

Death

"The supreme goal of human existence is attained when we become peaceful with our own mortality and view death not as an ending or a punishment but as an awakening, a reward, a return to the infinity that surrounds our parentheses in eternity."  Wayne Dyer

Love and Judgment

"By sending away judgments about how others are supposed to be, you create a place within yourself for love where judgment previously resided."    Wayne Dyer

Change

"You cannot intend for someone else to act in accordance with your desires.   This will bring you nothing but frustration.   You cannot make someone else ready, but you can take responsibility for your readiness.   This is within your power and this is what constitutes  your intentions.   Be ready to give what is necessary, do it with active intention, and let go of your desires."   Wayne Dyer
