"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the self same well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you

"When you come from a place of truth, and if you align yourself with that which is right, and true, and good - that which you know will serve to help other people - then nothing can stop you."

Cry Inward

A split between divinity and humanity has taken place in you. With your
divinely endowed centre you know God's will, God's way, God's love.
But your humanity is cut off from that. Your many human needs for
affection, attention, and consolation are living apart from your divine
sacred space. Your call is to let these two parts of yourself come
together again.

You have to move gradually from crying outward - crying out for
people who you think can fulfil your needs - to crying inward to the
place where you can let yourself be held and carried by God, who
has become incarnate

Vision

“The Sons of men are one,
And I am one with them.
I seek to love, not hate;
I seek to serve and not exact due service;
I seek to heal, not hurt.

Let pain bring due reward of light and love.
Let the soul control the outer form.
And life, and all events,
And bring to light the Love
that underlies the happenings of the time.

Let vision come and insight.
Let the future stand revealed.
Let inner union demonstrate
And outer cleavages be gone.
Let love prevail.
Let all men love."

- Mantram of Unification - Lord Maitreya

I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit."

- Dawna Markova, American writer and inspirational speaker
