"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

"There is no love in judging another. We-are-all-connected, we-are-all-one. The only illusion that separates us is this body and the ego it houses. The only thing that keeps you one with all life, is love." ~ Chris W Metz

“You Create your world based on your beliefs, feelings and emotions. You create bad things in your life when you believe in fear. Fear originates with the ego, therefore the ego needs to be relinquished if we wish to have perfect conscious creation.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"When the ego dominates, we assess where we stand, high or low, in any situation. We subtly put others in their place. Under the influence of grace, this behavior changes, because you genuinely feel no higher and no lower than anyone else. A tremendous relief accompanies this realization. So much energy is wasted protecting our dignity, status, pride and accomplishments." ~ Deepak Chopra

"The ego is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing. Your social ask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear." ~ Deepak Chopra

In just one day, your world can change. The light of just one day’s sunrise can illuminate the hidden world that exists within each of us.

“If we were to realize we are on a journey by which the final destination is the physical death of our body, we might ask ourselves what path we are following and why we are on such a path. Following the path of spirituality and love through life leads to the realization the death of our body does not mark the end of our path.” ~ Chris W Metz

“The only beliefs that should be held on to are those of truth. What is truth? Truth is the realization we are all connected, we are all one, and in that oneness there is nothing but love. That is a truth that many will find hard to come to, but it is the ultimate truth and belief that we should aspire to know. In this oneness we release each other from the hell like illusion of physical life, we eliminate the space between and recognize each other as family. As in most families there is nothing that we wouldn’t do for each other. This is the ultimate reality and it is the attainment of heaven on earth.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"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

“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

"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

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
