“Materialism has a price. Each material item has a weight based on its size and complexity, or adoration and neediness we have for it. As each is added during our lifetime, we become enslaved. Like a ball and chain they limit our mobility and reduce our capacity of consciousness. We are no longer able to see the world for what it is as we are bound by ‘things.’ The journey of self-discovery is sidetracked by the ego’s preoccupation with vanity and comfort.” ~ Chris W Metz

“The best technique for reinforcing our own knowledge is by teaching what we have learned. This is true of the interactions we have with people. When we extend love and gratitude we are both teaching and reinforcing the ideas within ourselves. However, when we demonstrate hatred, fear, jealousy, despair or anger we are only reinforcing those traits within ourselves; we in essence poison our own well. What the ego projects and demonstrates, it keeps to itself.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Of which will you give answer to in life? Love and compassion, or I am more important than you?” ~ Chris W Metz

“Once the Ego has been subdued you will gladly evict it from your mind. On occasion it will come back to call but the pain in the visit will be so great that you will quickly escort it to the door.” ~ Chris W Metz
