Top 10 Most Inspiring Quotes of Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu was the most important spiritual Chinese sage. His name, which is also often called Laozi, literally means “Old Master” and is generally considered an honorific. He lived in the 6th century BC, at the same time as Confucius, who was born a generation after Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is the father of the Chinese spiritual tradition Taoism, mainly because of his text called Tao te Ching (Tao: the way of all life, te: the fit use of life by men, ching: text or classic). It is based on the Tao (The Way), which is the creator and sustainer of all things in the Universe, and the practice of doing by nondoing (wu-wei) that enables the disciple to unite with the Tao. Lao Tzu wrote his only book Tao Te Ching just before he walked away from the Chou empire he served. 1. This first sentence of his teachings seems paradoxical. 2. Really a quote to think about. 3.

Confucius says: The Top 10 Quotes by Confucius Confucius is one of the most quoted personalities ever. He is so popular that there is a special “Confucius says …” joke-selection, I mean who can say to have this kind of achievement ;) Confucius, whose name literally means “Master Kong”, lived 551-479 BCE. One of the best known sources of Confucius are The Analects, a collection of his teachings, which was compiled many years after his death. Many of them are universal and timeless in their beautiful and simple truth and they are as valid today as on the day they left Confucius’ mouth. Confucius says … 1.

Signs and Symptoms of Healing Signs and Symptoms Experiencing the Healing Energies As the healing energies are working in various chakra centers, you are likely to experience a lot of old repressed memories, sensations and feelings... all part of your "Process". These experiences are signposts indicating areas the work is affecting, and the stages of your unfoldment. Do not get attached to any one feeling or sensation - as they are all part of the phenomenal reality, they will all shift and change from moment to moment. Remember - you are not your process - underneath it all, you are perfection. The purpose of the healing work is to release all that prevent your human self from fully realizing this. Depending on the chakras being stimulated, the signs and symptoms of this releasing or "processing" vary. When this chakra is stimulated and opens up, you may feel like your head is being operated on - like someone is sticking needles or rods in your skull (or pulling them out). More Signs and Symptoms

The Law of Attraction In this post I want to describe what the Law of Attraction is, how you can use it to attract beautiful things to your life, and then attempt to explain how it works. If you have never heard about the law of attraction before, it may seem like a bizarre concept at first, but don’t let that prevent you from learning what could easily be one of the most important things you can learn in your life. To put it in simple words, the Law of Attraction states that your intentions become your reality, therefore the more you think about something, the more chances you have to bring it to reality. The Law of Attraction states that all the power comes from the universe, because at the lowest level, we are all made of the same thing: energy. Now, you can ignore how the law of attraction works at the lowest level, and still get all the benefits from it. Successful people have used the Law of Attraction for centuries to achieve the greatest results in history. This is the most interesting part for you.

18 Spiritual Teachings that Blew my Mind Wide Open. After rejecting the Catholic Church around age 10, I stumbled upon the love of my life—yoga-—at the critical age of 12-going-on-13. I started reading New Age self-help books in college and met the Buddha in the San Francisco Bay area at 23. Each stage along the way has been illuminating and necessary to move to a higher level of consciousness. I am thrilled to continue learning and practicing throughout this lifetime, at least. At certain points in the past, I have wished for epiphanies, signals and sudden enlightenment. Of course, life doesn’t work that way. So, although I would like to gift you with these 18 teachings that have altered my mind and improved my life, they may not resonate with you. My dear friend Liz has a tattoo that reminds her, “This too shall pass.” What would you put on your list?

I Have a Dream' - Martin Luther King Jr. (audio only) I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.
