Is there a real rebirth? When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning.

 “Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

·      “It’s like handing people a map. to a beautiful mountain top. You say, "Here's the map to beautiful mountain top. Do you want to take the trip or not?" Most people will take the map, but they won't take the trip.

·  Do you have to be gifted mentally to understand spiritual principles? No. You just have to be sincere.

·  To be a Christian means to work on yourself as Christ taught, not according to the man-made interpretations of what he taught.

·  You'll never be taken in by a false prophet when you are no longer a false follower. There is a simple test by which you can tell a true teacher from a false one.

Is there a key to the way out? Yes.

You MUST absolutely be determined to find something outside of your present way of life. … Listen for the truth which is calling you to come out. The truth is always calling all jungle dwellers to come out. LEARN to LISTEN to the TRUTH. … Understand? … Are you willing to understand? … That's all that's necessary.

THERE IS A WAY OUT ~ VERNON HOWARD INTERVIEW by Guy Finley

“When love awakens in your life, in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you. Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy; where before there was fear, now there is courage; where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness; where before you used to be jagged, now you are elegant and in rhythm with your self. When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning.”
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom “Real friendship or love is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention. Friendship is always an act of recognition.”

Rilke said, “Being here is so much.” It is uncanny how social reality can deaden and numb us so that the mystical wonder of our lives goes totally unnoticed. We are here. We are wildly and dangerously free. The more lonely side of being here is our separation in the world. When you live in a body you are separate from every other object and person. Many of our attempts to pray, to love, and to create are secret attempts at transfiguring that separation in order to build bridges outward so that others can reach us and we can reach them.
