Why is [the now] the most precious thing? Firstly, because it is the only thing. It’s all there is. The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be. Secondly, the Now is the only point that can take you beyond the limited confines of your mind. It is your only point of access to the timeless and formless realm of Being. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Why do we so easily become angry? We do so because we are attached to our view of who we are, to self-importance, to the concept of "I." When the concept of "I” is threatened, “I” very often strikes out in fear, in anger. ~ Unknown

“Real change does not occur in others through ‘force,’ a concept the Ego would have us believe. We ‘inspire’ change in others by the demonstration of who we are.” ~ Chris W Metz

“We can never know the long term effects of any single act. What may appear as immediate and visual, contains a tail that drags far beyond the body of occurrence. Whether the attributes of good or bad are contained within this tail depends largely on the spirit in which the act was carried out.” ~ Chris W Metz

"Anyone who would promote or incite your, fear, anger, judgment, retribution or hatred is not a friend, but another ego searching for an ally. Side with the ego and you walk into darkness, isolation and fear, separating yourself from others. Listen to spirit and the wisdom of your soul, and you will remember love, compassion, gratitude and peace." ~ Chris W Metz

"The Ego is a very powerful thing and does not take to being rid of easily. It will rationalize its existence having us believe that it is essential to our protection, safety and well-being. It will also have us believe that there is nothing more important than being 'right.' But right and wrong are subjective judgments which the ego lives to decide based on believing it is all important. Love, compassion, gratitude and peace are the only truths, everything else is the judgment and perception of the ego." ~ Chris W. Metz

“We must recognize we are part of an intricate web. Our one piece of the web is interconnected to everyone and everything else. Everything we have comes through this web. As we give through this network so shall it return to us somewhere else. What we send out in any direction as willful intent returns to us as effects. What we are giving in the present will return to us through some thread in the future.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“We will experience everything we think. Every thought we cast into existence, is a cause demanding an effect on some plane, in some manner, in some space of time. Whether those effects come to us immediately, in this life, or another life is inconsequential. Every thought is a cause producing an effect. For this reason i implore you to guard your thoughts carefully.” ~ Chris W Metz

"Release from guilt is the ego's whole undoing. Make no one fearful, for his guilt is yours, and by obeying the ego's harsh commandments you bring its condemnation on yourself, and you will not escape the punishment it offers those who obey it. The ego rewards fidelity to it with pain, for faith in it is pain. And faith can be rewarded only in terms of the belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the power of belief, and where it is invested determines its reward. For faith is always given what is treasured, and what is treasured is returned to you. The world can give you only what you gave it, for being nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning apart from what you found in it and placed your faith in. Be faithful unto darkness and you will not see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it. You will accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, the future will be like it. Whatever you hold dear you think is yours. The power of your valuing will make it so." ~ A Course in Miracles

As we assess things from a variety of perspectives we gain clarity and understanding. As we view the problems in our own life we see them from a single perspective. Only after we have overcome the problem, are we able to view it from a new vantage point. It is during this shift in perspective we learn the most about ourselves. Seeing what was once perceived as a problem we eventually look upon as a learning experience, and thus our consciousness is expanded. Our ego is responsible for our fear in life and it is fear that obscures our initial perspective. ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“a life of little is proceeded by giving little, a meager life results from giving meagerly. What we give out in life comes back to us multiplied. give to the world your shyness and it will be shy to you. Give the
world your uncertainty and the world will make you doubt. Give your anger, and hostility will reflect from every face. Level judgment upon others and others in turn shall judge you. Give to the world your love and that love multiplied will rain into your life. Share your compassion and you will in turn be shown compassion. Show the world your gratitude and the world will continue giving more. Share your peace with others and a silent beauty will always surround you. Always give what you wish to receive. Always be conscious of what you are giving.” ~ 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

“As we venture through this physical life, we continually tend to our garden. We plant things that bring us strength, nourishment and joy. We begin by nurturing our relationships that in turn nourish and feed us. We plant the things that make us feel good about ourselves, nourishing those things we are proud of. Lastly, we cultivate the things we wish to look upon with beauty and satisfaction. Each day we are sowing seeds and providing nutrients in the way of thoughts and action, thereby encouraging their growth. As with any garden, weeds are bound to appear sprouting from anger, hatred, judgment, jealousy, fear and guilt. By holding on to these emotions and recalling the events that led to those feelings, we allow the weeds to take root and eventually take over our life. In this metaphorical garden they cannot be pulled out, instead they must be starved by withholding the thoughts and discontinuing the actions that promoted their growth.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss
