"I have nothing but love in me. I know not of anger, judgment or hate. What I am lights the darkness and guides others into the light,
so they too may become a torch unto themselves." ~ Chris W Metz

"No more searching will instill what you recognize as peace. Yet search you do high and low, in books and through a screen, looking, seeking for something which cannot be seen. With you all along it has been, by way of the ego it cannot be found. One must humble themselves, taking off the ego's crown.
Recognize those who possess it, instead of beating them down. Perhaps if you would listen, the answer would surround you. You seek an ideal of something, but your thoughts betray it, criticizing and judging, as if to slay exactly what you seek. Go ahead and keep looking, but what you cannot see in another,
will not be found within yourself, eluding you forever." ~ Chris W Metz

At some point in the search for nlightenment, you will have all the knowledge that is necessary. After that, it is up to each person to take that knowledge and cultivate it in their own life. This is done through daily awareness, daily intention, daily meditation and daily practice. No amount of further knowledge or seeking will manifest enlightenment within yourself. It is only through your will and daily practice that furthers the knowledge you seek for enlightenment. ~ Chris W Metz

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us ‘universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal
desires and to affection to a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ~ Albert Einstein

“Seek ye the ever elusive door to heaven. It lies in shadows of our ignorance. It is there, has been there and is always there. Yet we look for it outside ourselves as if it were hidden, within us, it is here, has been here, will always be here. Those who will earnestly seek and will themselves to know, will be shown what lies in the shadow of virtue.” ~ Chris W Metz

“The Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the slightest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind.” ~ Hsin Hsin Ming

“Fear tends to be the essence of our experience in the abyss, so in simplistic terms it is letting go of this fear that is the catalyst for crawling out of its depths. Fear makes us feel trapped and unsure of what to do, in turn we panic and exhaust our energy fighting the anxiety itself. Fear is also a fragmenting emotion; it separates us from the whole and makes us view all things as separate.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“What is fear but a power we give to someone or something to hurt us. When we realize life is eternal and we can never be hurt or truly die, the belief in fear will no longer exist. It is this truthful lesson in one of our incarnations which ultimately overcomes fear. Once this truth is uncovered, there is only love, compassion, gratitude and peace.” ~ Chris W Metz

A word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary, how well I know. It has no decency, respects no law or convention, shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. It begins in your mind, always. One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. ~ Life of Pi

“There is no single technique that can be used for overcoming fear. It would seem necessary to go through a series of stages before accepting our situation and by going through this process we are able to start overcoming our fear. Once we have accepted our situation we can then work on removing ourselves from it. Developing a purpose or target allows us to pull ourselves towards something other than our current circumstances. Once we have established a goal it allows us to focus on something beyond our current state. One of the most common attributes of being deep in the abyss is indecision and lethargy. When we have a goal to achieve or a plan to be implemented then we start to motivate towards something different. Eventually we dispel fear by changing our belief about it.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

There are two basic motivating forces: Fear and Love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to Love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life. ~ John Lennon

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we subconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~ Marianne Williamson

"Letting Go of Fear and Opening Your Mind. You have a relationship with yourself as well as with others. And you have lived in many bodies and in many times. So ask your present self why it is so fearful. Why are you afraid to take reasonable risks? Are you afraid of your reputation, afraid of what others think? These fears are conditioned from childhood or before. Ask yourself these questions: What’s to lose? What is the worst that can happen? Am I content to live the rest of my life this way? Against a background of death, is this so risky?" ~ Brian Weiss, Messages From The Masters

When a country is in harmony with the Tao, the factories make trucks and tractors. When a country goes counter to the Tao, warheads are stockpiled outside the cities. There is no greater illusion than fear, no greater wrong than preparing to defend yourself. No greater misfortune than having an enemy. Whoever can see through all fear will always be safe. ~ Lao Tzu

Their roots grow wide celebrating each others joys and grow deep in sharing each others vulnerability and pain. Once firmly established and nurtured through time, they are not uprooted easily." ~ Chris W Metz

authenticity of your friendship, or the extent of your insincerity.” ~ Chris W Metz
