Thaddeus Golas More Quotes by Thaddeus Golas More Quotes From Thaddeus Golas Love as much as you can from wherever you are. Thaddeus Golas positiveinspirationallove Loving yourself is a willingness to be in the same space with your own creations. How contracted would you become if you try to withdraw from your own ideas?

Conveniently the opportunity to take that step is all around us every day. Thaddeus Golas stupidspiritualopportunity Anything that really frightens you may contain a clue to enlightenment. It may indicate to you how deeply you are attached to structure, whether mental, physical, or social. Attachment and resistance are appearances with the same root: when you resist by pulling away your awareness, the emotion is one of fear, and the contraction is experienced as a pull like magnetism or gravity; that is, attachment.

What happens is not important as how you react to what happens. Thaddeus Golas everydayexpressionspiritual Enlightenment is any experience of expanding our consciousness beyond its present limits.

The state of mind that most needs enlightenment is the one that sees human beings as needing to be guided or enlightened. The sin that most needs to be loved and forgiven is the state of mind that sees human beings as sinners.

Laziness keeps me from believing that enlightenment demands effort, discipline, strict diet, non-smoking, and other evidences of virtue.
