"Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter."

— Einstein

"When you judge others, you feel your own shadow and bring into yourself any negative energy you are judging. Challenge yourself to let go of a right-wrong framework. When you observe a quality or characteristic in others that you do not like, see if you can find how it fits into their life. Look at how that particular trait works for them, what that quality does for them. Leaving behind judgment frees you from being affected by other people’s energy."

— Orin

"Give all the people in your life permission to be who they are. As you do, you increase your ability to love and accept yourself just as you are. As you accept and love yourself, you raise your vibration and attract more good into your life. Accept the things you can’t change, and look for the good in them."

— Orin

"You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?"

— Rumi

"When you live in the shadow of insanity, the appearance of another mind that thinks and talks as yours does is something close to a blessed event. Like Robinson Crusoe’s discovery of footprints on the sand." — Robert M. Pirsig
