Heaven is within us



"A decisive positive attitude leads to health and happiness. A negative confused attitude creates disease and unhappiness. You must choose your own lifestyle. You have been given free choice to chart a destiny during this life. No one else can alter or chart a course for you. No one can live your life for you. There are no magic pills, no potions, no masters, no gurus, no books that can take action for you. Only you can make your decisions and take the necessary action that will eventually bring forth the blessings of health, happiness and success to your life. By cleansing your blood and body of impurities, eating wholesome natural foods, purifying your mind, and thinking positive optimistic thoughts, you will lose the basic fears that plague humanity."

" Each and every day, we must extend total freedom to every person in the universe, including our family members and close friends. Let them live their own lives. Stop trying to change the world and other people's habits against their will. Let every person make his or her own decisions, good or bad. No one wants to be fenced in; we all want to be free. The Tao forces no one, for love can not compel, therefore it is a thing of perfect freedom. The natural way of spreading ideas calls for more than ridding ourselves of name-calling, propagandising, telling others what to think or how to act, and other such actions. It suggests that the soul be cleansed of any such notion, for it is clear that we can no more improve another person than we can alter the heavens above.

Give up self-assertion and relax. Let go! give up all efforts to be important or superior to your fellow human beings. Quit trying to make carbon copies of others, instead, give them something to copy. Realize that you can not improve another; all you can do is inspire. This is where the old saying that an example is worth more than a thousand sermons holds true. When you give up that bad habit of dictating another's life, you open up the channel of love between individuals. Peace will then be yours. You will attract more friends, and your acquaintances and family will find boundless joy and happiness in your presence."


"The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. We need not to go anywhere to pray. We can simply bow our heads and ask the creative force for guidance and with that attitude we can live a heavenly joyous life, even during difficult and troubled times. Your good is here. Accept it. Your joy is near. Embrace it. Your power is within. Harness it. Your victory is now. Claim it. Your freedom is real. Declare it. Your abundance is overflowing. Share it. Your prosperity is good. Receive it. Your problem is purposeful. Bless it. Your faith is mighty. Use it. Your song is beautiful. Sing it.

Life is a stage and we are all acting out a part. The stage is set. You have been given a role to play. It is now your time to go into action and to utilize the props and scenes that the Creator has so generously given you to perform with: natural foods, air, water and sunshine. These are the fundamental Taoist secrets that no man or woman can ever do without. They are part and parcel of life itself. Our function is to learn how to play our role in life superbly well and become the star attraction we were all designed to be. 

Through the understanding and application of natural law - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual - we become an acting part of the creative force that has brought us to this earth stage. We urge you to seek this path to health, beauty, and spiritual evolvement; sincerely believe in it, and inspire others to follow your message and example."

Amor em Ondas

"Se honestamente recebes cada instante deste dia, goste ou não goste o ego, assumes a res- ponsabilidade, assumes teu poder e podes ver que, se aceitas, assumes e abraças totalmente o instante, não há medo para guardá-lo para que volte a sair de outra forma.

Quando se desperta, alcança-se este nível de honestidade. Desaparece a fragmentação e renasce o amor ao instante e, alegres, o cruzamos junto a todo o Universo, recuperando sua fonte secreta de inspiração e gozo.

Qualquer momento de conflito no presente está vinculado a um momento do passado que não quisemos viver ou a um futuro que não queremos repetir. Este vínculo com o presente faz com que esse instante do passado reflita-se como um espelho ao outro lado do presente, ou seja, ao futuro.
Durante 15 dias insisti que assumas o instante presente. Assim, o passado e o futuro se dis- solvem como a névoa da madrugada ante a chegada do sol. É a morte do ego e a boda entre o coração sorridente e a poderosa maravilha da Deusa. Este colapso é iluminação.

Te convido hoje a vencer esta armadilha mental e assumir o instante que se desliza desde o nada e volta ao nada, pleno de amor e beleza. O instante canta e ri, sem pânico nem dor, e percebes algo simples e milagroso, sempre vives no agora para poder tomar essa decisão.

No lugar de escapar, sugiro-te uma honrada e simples aceitação. A livre aceitação libera- -nos da fadiga violenta que fazemos com a vida, armazenando as velhas cartas marcadas. Agora isso terminou, saltemos ao agora sem deixar nada fora... no umbral do poema deste instante há uma Presença que é Amor em ondas... "

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."


Dylan Thomas

Doubt Thou the Stars

“Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”

All the Barriers Within

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Rumi

Significance of the Life We Lead


"It always seems impossible until it's done.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.


May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.

A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.

And if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.

Sometimes, it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.

Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to helping others without expecting anything in return.

What counts is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you have altered.

When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw. 

Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward.

I never lose. I either win or learn. 

No single person can liberate a country. You can only liberate a country if you act as a collective.

Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world.


If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important, and you do that by being genuine and humble.

Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.

When people are determined they can overcome anything.

Forget the past.

We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.

People respond in accordance to how you treat them.

We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference.”



Nelson Mandela
