A variety of quotes on the topic of Soulmates.
During our reflection in the abyss, we become open to shedding our old beliefs. If we go through life clinging to old beliefs then we can never change our foundation of thought. Without a change in our thought processes, our lives will continue to be the same. Once we have discovered truth and experience nothing but joy, love, compassion and peace, further changes to our thought process becomes unnecessary. So we must acknowledge that holding onto antiquated beliefs will prevent us from achieving this state. If one embarks on a road to enlightenment they must be willing to examine their entire belief system and must also be prepared to alter those beliefs in order to change their experience of life. ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Everyone develops a system of thought through life. It becomes so entrenched, we rarely if ever consider other ways of thinking. These repetitive thought processes are responsible for how we perceive the world and our response to given stimuli. This can be thought of with a tree analogy. All of the experiences and beliefs that we have established (i.e. roots,) produce what we see as growth above ground (our behaviours and thought processes.) It is very difficult to think differently when our roots (experience and beliefs) have already established their network in the ground. Only by uplifting or transplanting this metaphorical tree into a new ground environment are we able to change our system of thought. Here there are new things to uncover and new beliefs to establish. This makes it more likely we will make changes to our thought processes and beliefs. Only then can we experience a life that will change with a different system of thought. The fundamental basis of this change results from establishing new beliefs or truths for ourselves. This in turn establishes new ways of thinking thus changing our experience in life. The concept to understand is life is an idea. We live our life based on an idea we have formulated about it. All of the ensuing experiences we have are just reflections of our belief about life.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Our beliefs and how we react to them are similar to how a blind person might navigate their world in the dark. We learn from repetition, what hurts, where to navigate, expecting what to feel after reaching so far. In many ways this is how we navigating through life with our beliefs. We learn the easiest paths, learn to steer clear of obstacles but admittedly will never know those things that lie in the darkness. We build a familiarity to our world and perceived reality by following the same paths and reacting in the same ways. holding onto the same beliefs we know without any doubt what to expect as we navigate our way. Those beliefs and patterns of behavior, whether they are good or bad, provide a safety net and structure for us. Beliefs allow us to interpret the world with certainty as to why things happen. We find comfort in the repetition of events and our belief in why they are occurring. Thinking in this way we react to life with programmed responses and this predictability brings us comfort.”

"Every emotional response we have is based on our belief about something. Our feelings and emotions come about based upon our interactions with situations, places and things and the resulting belief we form about them." ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Living in this physical existence we have a strong urge to associate ourselves and what we perceive ourselves to be with the physical things around us…We take on traits of the physical world letting the physical things define who we are…It becomes a trap to associate ourselves with our material surroundings, our physical body or our environment. When we worship the attributes of our physical surroundings, we are idolizing false gods.” ~ 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

“Weeds grow easily, but flowers need care and nurturing to bloom. Weeds will grow in every garden of dreams. rather than tending to these weeds, take the time to nurture the sweetness of the flowers. Over time they will grow abundant and choke out the weeds. In every moment with every new thought, we are planting seeds of beauty and nurturing them or tending to our weeds. In every thought we are planting or nurturing. The plants which do not receive attention or further thought will die. Those that are nurtured, given attention, and brought into the light, will
eventually grow large and bear the fruit of our nurturing. We are always in a state of creating, of watering, and bringing life to
our thoughts.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“The Ego is incapable of true love. Love to the ego is a ‘giving to get’ philosophy. It is conditional love based upon what the ego receives in return, always keeping score, measuring what is given verses what is received. To give generously without regard to reciprocity is the unconditional love emanating from spirit. This is a love which does not favor or hold bias in the direction of its giving.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“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 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

“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

“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

“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

“Countless wishes come across our radar, if we do not respond to them who will? We have the greatest impact on those around us, we should seek out these opportunities
eagerly. If we deny the request of a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member and subsequently send a check to another cause outside of our network, then what good is our association within our own sphere? Where is the integrity of our mission to give and nurture within our own relationships?” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“When we demand things through entitlement, the happiness derived from receiving never occurs. This in turn produces a state of wanting and expecting things without any joy from acquiring them. The true irony of living this way, is appreciation only comes when everything that was taken for granted is gone.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“At times we may find it difficult to rid ourselves of pessimism. By feeling this way our beliefs create the conditions to receive more of the same. The best technique for shifting doubt and pessimism to optimism is through gratitude, it washes away negativity by displacing it. This is best illustrated by the water the flowers not the weeds philosophy. To water those aspects of life we are thankful for assist their growth going forward. Withholding the water of thought and recognition from the undesirable aspects of life allows them to wither away and die. Searching life for all that is good effectively dispels the dark emotions. We should always be thankful for many things such as family, friends, shelter, food, etc.. When all else fails we can always be thankful for the wonderful gift of life and the many experiences it provides.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“It is not difficult to see when we concentrate on the bad in our lives we tend to nothing but weeds. This eventually chokes out everything else. To see the beauty in life we must spread seeds of love, compassion, friendship and helpfulness always cultivating and nurturing their growth. nurturing these seeds they become the flowers in our life kept healthy by good memories and a focus on all that is good in our life. Those who continuously cultivate the bad memories of their life by reliving them, talking about them and sharing them often with others, are tending to their weeds.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“Gratitude comes from love, joy and happiness, these are not physical things, they represent ideas or thoughts, and unlike a material item which is decreased by giving it away, thoughts and ideas are increased by extension or sharing. The person receiving the idea experiences more by receiving it and the idea itself is reinforced within the giver thereby increasing it as we give it away. Happiness and love like many things can be shared and given away and will forever increase upon itself.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“We fail to comprehend the effect we have on other people by being happy. Being in the presence of happy people our own happiness tends to increase. The opposite is true for being around unhappy, ungrateful people, as they tend to bring us down. If we are truly happy and do not let other people effect our decision for happiness, then we become the positive force. This will start to reverse the mood and outlook of those that are in a negative state.” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss

“If we examine the differences between the pessimist and the optimist, we find the pessimist looks upon misfortune as usual and customary. They regard luck as temporary and abnormal, searching always for the next calamity. The optimist regards misfortune as unusual and temporary expecting their good luck to continue. Even the optimist will experience circumstances inducing negativity, however by focusing on the positive aspects of life, negative feelings will be fleeting.” ~ 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

“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

“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
