Life Quote 23 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
“In many ways we all go through life crossing one obstacle after another only to have brief moments of joy for having overcome the obstacle. These moments pass and then we find ourselves once again absorbed with the mundane repetitions of life and the associated obstacles. Void of any real obstacles we try to manufacture the feeling of joy through the satisfaction of the body or the acquisition of material goods. For some this becomes an insatiable preoccupation that has no end. At this point we have detoured off the path and experience life as an endless circle of recycled experiences.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Through teaching and sharing we reinforce in ourselves that which we wish to be. The only thing that can be increased as it is given away is an idea that is shared, love is an idea that increases as it is given away.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

Love Quote 15 Chris W Metz
Love Quote 15 Chris W Metz
"Love is like the ocean, at times tranquil, at times rough. We can immerse ourselves in it and let it surround us. We can witness its beauty, its ebb and flow. We can experience it in small ripples or in crashing waves. Like the ocean, love is seemingly endless. To take and give of some of it still leaves an endless amount that still exist. One must realize that to experience it, one must partake in it immersing ourselves in the current." ~ Chris W Metz
Love Quote 16 Chris W Metz
Love Quote 16 Chris W Metz
“The heart is unlimited in its capacity to hold others in love, but to hold others with thoughts of hate, anger, judgement or jealousy, weighs on the mind, eventually squeezing the joy out of it.” ~ Chris W Metz

Love Quote 19 Chris W Metz
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

Love Quote 28 Chris W Metz
Love Quote 28 Chris W Metz
“There is no greater happiness than love. When we are filled with love we do not need the love of others to be fulfilled. It is then, the love of others adds colors to the rainbow of life, together we gaze above at its beauty, dance in the rain that makes it possible, while marveling at its source. Love then overflows out of us, splashing into the cups of others.” ~ Chris W Metz

Love Quote 4 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
Love Quote 4 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
“Being love and compassion should not to be confused with preaching love and compassion. Many preach fairness and justice, however these same people most often do not practice what they preach. It is difficult to teach anyone love and compassion, as it increases in others by example. When one is the recipient of love and compassion, they are apt to remember the experience and demonstrate it themselves given the next opportunity. It is not something that can be forced upon people or legislated into existence, it is a one to one experience which produces humility and gratitude. It is increased through extension and it cannot be increased through mandate.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“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
Love Quote 51 Chris W Metz
Love Quote 51 Chris W Metz
"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
Love Quote 52 Chris W Metz
Love Quote 52 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. True love is the transmutation of overflowing happiness within ourselves that must be shared with others." ~ Chris W Metz
Love Quote 53 Chris W Metz
Love Quote 53 Chris W Metz
"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

Love Quote 56 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
“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

Passion Quote 1 Chris W Metz
“A flower grows effortlessly because all it knows is being a flower. With no effort it establishes itself and blooms because its whole being and consciousness is that. It knows no other desire other than being that which it is. When we are pursuing our passion in life utilizing every gift we possess, we too will grow effortlessly. Understanding our passion while fully embracing our strengths, allows us to be in a state where we achieve all we aspire to be. In the process of doing so, we ignore all the other influences around us and become that which we believe is our inner being.” ~ Chris W Metz

Peace Quote 7 What Is Your Problem? Chris W Metz
“Your thinking of difficulty is like throwing a rock into the peaceful waters of the mind. The water is always still and calm until you throw a rock into it. The rock represents what we perceive as a problem. Each rock on the ground is just a rock until we find something wrong with it, only then does it become a problem for us.” ~ Chris W Metz

Self Awareness Quote 16 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
Self Awareness Quote 16 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
“When we acquire information it is done so through our own perspective at that moment. This becomes what we perceive as reality. Similar to looking at a picture that contains two distinct views. It is only by being shown or told what to look for in the second picture which allows us to see. Once we know, we can never look upon the same picture with the consciousness held previously. We see our own world in the same way and our exhibited behavior is based upon this perception. Perspectives are generally skewed when we see things from a single point of view. Only with an open mind can we see the world for what it is.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss
Self Awareness Quote 17 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
Self Awareness Quote 17 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
“Falling into the abyss makes us confront ourselves by making us aware of the unconscious programming that drives our daily behavior. It is repetition that blinds us to the destructive nature of our dysfunctional habits and patterns of thought. Life is thrown into chaos when we are faced with the abrupt end to a long established routine. The example of divorce highlights this concept as the abusive spouse loses their victim partner, or the entitled pessimist loses their positive hard working spouse. These are but a few examples of the many dysfunctional relationships. This inability to see the destructive patterns finally comes to light after successive relationships fail for the same reasons. By tolerating bad behavior and remaining in dysfunctional relationships we stay blind to the behavioral patterns and the payoff in our underlying beliefs.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss
Self Awareness Quote 18 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
Self Awareness Quote 18 Chris W Metz - The Road Out Of The Abyss
“Learning in many ways is the replacement of old ideas, beliefs and thought processes in order to learn and experience new life. This may be a gradual detachment of ideas and thoughts, to the more profound changes that occur from an experience with the abyss. We create blind spots by our entrenched thought processes. Only by removing them are we able to see things from a new perspective. Then we begin to perceive things previously unnoticed.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

"When you are happy, completely fulfilled and self-actualized, you love and appreciate every person in your life. For every person was a part of leading you to this great fulfillment. If you don't take responsibility for your life and you are not happy, then you must find others to blame. Your life then becomes littered with broken relationships of those you have judged and blamed for your unhappiness and weakness." ~ Chris W Metz

“Where Am I”
"Look around you and within you, I am there, in a flower that lifts its face to you, in the morning’s dew. Inside you where your peace abides I am beside you. In the sun that warms your face or a gentle breeze. In a cup clasped as it’s raised to your lips, I am there. Inside you deep within, you take me in with each breath you breathe. In the swaying of the trees and the rippling stream, I am there. In your emotion of love or a tender embrace, in a smile you see, in the laughter of life, listen carefully you will hear me. In the unconscious part of you I am already one with you. In that part of your heart that feels a presence not seen, I reside there with each beat and pulsing of life. Though you may be unaware, I am part of you. That part which bears no physical sight. Part of your mind that is shrouded not seen. There from a time from before time began. I have always been with you and you with me and so I am." ~ Chris W Metz

“Do not believe in something merely because you have heard it, read it or because it is passed down from religions or taught by teachers. Even if it is repeated by many or rumored as truth, always question. Search your inner being for the truth. When it resonates with you and does not conflict with
compassion, love, gratitude or peace, and if by following such wisdom you benefit the whole of creation, then it may be wise to accept it and demonstrate it in your life.” ~ Chris W Metz
