Character Quotes

“Love represents wholeness. It is the entire body, heart, mind and soul dedicated to extending love. When we allow part of our self to feel anger, hatred or judgment, we fragment part of our wholeness. We become weaker as those fragments are in conflict with our truest self. This is the source of all discontent, depression and unhappiness in our life.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"You must love yourself first and foremost before you can ever truly love another. To seek the love of another without first loving yourself is like wanting someone to sing for you without being able to hear, or seeking the fragrance of a flower without a sense of smell, or wanting someone to touch you without being able to feel." ~ Chris W Metz

"Sometimes the selfish need of another is disguised as love. When someone is not happy, they seek their happiness outside themselves by loving another, but this is not true love.

"I can only give to you my ideas, anything else will fade with time and return to dust. If you accept my idea, then you give back to me the reinforcement of the idea within myself and you take the idea with you. Should you share this same idea with another then you strengthen the chain of everyone the idea was passed through, and you strengthen it within yourself. If others share your idea, then you become part of an interlocking chain that is strengthened as each link is added. Love is an idea producing a chain that cannot be broken. Each link is equal to every other link and each link knows their importance in the chain." ~ Chris W Metz

“If love were a game, how well we might compete, with winning being all that mattered. Just as every game has a winner so too is there also a loser. Love cannot have a loser. In the truest Love everyone wins.” ~ Chris W Metz

"When we move towards love, fear grips our souls, because to love, means to die, to die into each other. And to die into each other, is a far greater death than ordinary death. But to die into each other, is to awaken to each other as well. And to awaken to each other, is a far greater life than ordinary life." ~ Teal

Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind possessing and caressing me.

Love and Compassion
“Love is the ultimate answer. Love is not an abstraction but an actual energy, or spectrum of energies, which you can ‘create’ and maintain in your being. Just be loving. You are beginning to touch God within yourself. Feel loving. Express your love. Love dissolves fear. You cannot be afraid when you are feeling love. Since everything is energy, and love encompasses all energies, all is love” Brian Weiss, Messages from the Masters

“When you love someone, truly love them, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt---you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul.” ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon

“There is no greater happiness than love. When we are filled with love we do not need the love of others to be fulfilled.

Love then overflows out of us, splashing into the cups of others.” ~ Chris W Metz

“When we love, we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.
Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.
Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.” Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

“It is almost as if we are all playing a big game of hide-and-go-seek. We all hide expecting to be found, but no one has been labelled the seeker. We stand behind the wall, at first excited, then worried, then bored, then anxious, then angry. We hide and hide. After a while, the game is not fun anymore. Where is my seeker? Where is the person who is supposed to come find me here in my protected shell and cut me open? Where is that one who will make me trust him, make me comfortable, make me feel whole? Some people rot on the spot, waiting for the seeker that never comes. The most important truth that I can relate to you, if you are hiding and waiting, is that the seeker is you and the world, behind so many walls, waits.” ~ Vironika Tugaleva, The Love Mindset

“Love is not finding someone to live with. It's finding someone you can't live without.” ~ Rafael Ortiz

“What can be seen, held or touched is of little value in life. Only the feelings of love have value that will increase throughout eternity.” ~ Chris W Metz

Try not to confuse “attachment” with “love.” Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn’t about what others can give you because your empty. It is about what you can give others because your already full. ~ Yasmin Mogahed

Everything is temporary
“Throughout my life and more so lately, I realize that everything is temporary. Whatsoever I should gain in this life by way of material things is fleeting and so to give to another is but a temporary exchange of ephemeral material things. But the love that I give is everlasting remaining beyond the moment of now or the animation of this flesh forever it stands to increase in its wake.” ~ Chris W Metz
