John-Roger: [It is only through empathy that it is possible to step into another person's shoes without displacing that person or without forcing yourself upon them and restricting and controlling them. In this empathetic process, no one loses their identity, the preciousness of the Soul. - John-Roger From: Living the Spiritual Principles of Health and Well-Being by John-Roger, DSS with Paul Kaye, p. 115]
John-Roger: [the reason more of us are not spiritually aware people is that we often don't or won't accept what is happening. Acceptance is a flow of consciousness that continually moves on to the next thing. So accept whatever comes your way, and don't grumble against anything that happens to you. If it happens, it happens. Go on about your business. Keep flowing. You cannot control circumstances from the outside, so instead of resisting pain or failure and defending against it, you can embrace and encompass your pain and your failures, fully accepting them so that they become part of you. You then can let them go because they are part of your inner environment - they are within your domain - and the loving of your Soul can dissolve them. - John-Roger From: Timeless Wisdoms]
John-Roger: [You can't cure jealousy by logical reasoning because it's not a logical, reasoning process. You and your partner have to demonstrate trust and unconditional loving by behavior. If you're unwilling to do that, you can be run by jealousy. If you two are physically separated, you don't have to imagine that your partner is involved with someone else. Instead, how about imagining that he or she is involved in some beautiful, loving, supportive action. Physical separation does not have to mean separation in loving. - John-Roger From: Relationships: Love, Marriage and Spirit, p. 31]
John-Roger: [Being for yourself is not being against anyone else. We are all one. So being for yourself is ultimately only being for everyone else in your life. When you awaken to that truth and begin to live it, life will start opening for you, and joy will flood into you. - John-Roger From: Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise, p. 960]
John-Roger: [Spirituality is not necessarily holding your hands in a certain way, kneeling in prayer or sitting in a yoga posture. Those are just positions. Spirituality is knowing God and living to that high degree within yourself that we call integrity. - John-Roger]
John-Roger: [Love will take care of you. Love is the guiding Light inside of you. Pure love is the Soul. - John-Roger From: Loving Each Day, Vol. 1, p. 14]
John-Roger: [Our work, if we accept it, is to bring our consciousness into the higher understanding, into experiencing and knowing the Christ within. - John-Roger From: The Christ Within & The Disciples of Christ, p. 9]
John-Roger: [People say, "Oh God, help me!" They ask me, "Can you put something inside of me that will make me grow and develop faster?" And the answer is, "Be patient, because that is part of your spiritual discipline." Be patient. Be now. Be here. Don't forget that it's all here already. - John-Roger From: "The Light Behind the Shadows," on the New Day Herald website: Click Here]
