“A Spiritual Warrior looks for the most efficient and effective way to accomplish something -- the most direct way is a living truth.”
― John-Roger, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living

“To receive, you must be active. Keep in mind your purpose. You will receive in direct proportion to your clarity of vision, your definiteness of purpose, the steadiness of your faith, and the depth of your gratitude.”
― John-Roger, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living

“We have to go into the dark part of ourselves and love that dark part. For loving it is the key to the Kingdom. And we have to stand up and acknowledge that it is part of us.”
― John-Roger, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living

“Once you love the enemy inside, once you embrace it, that enemy will transform and yield its power to you.”
― John-Roger, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living

“We are all masters on one level of consciousness or another. To know that you are the master is one of the greatest gifts that can be bestowed upon you. Then the gates of hell cannot prevail against you. Nothing can harm you except that the Father in your heaven allows it—and then it will be for the glory of all humankind that you take upon yourself a burden to show other people that it can be handled, that it can be done. You can continually unfold in this eternal knowledge that you are the master.”
― John-Roger, Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise

“When you get delayed or caught up in some unexpected happenstance, you may never be aware when it is the means to protect you from disaster. So do not be too quick to judge your experience. What you see as an irritation may be your greatest protection, the greater manifestation of Spirit working in your life.”
― John-Roger, Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise

“The darkness transformed the moment you accepted it, and all the power that was blocking you before now becomes the power of ascension, of upliftment. When you feel really negative and you talk about it—not as a victim but as a way of facing the enemy and loving it—you are saying, “Out of God come all things.” All things. That includes the negative things, too. Negative doesn’t mean bad; we make things bad by judging them.”
― John-Roger, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living

“I am convinced that all of the negative things we hear or do, or that other people do, boil down to two primary motivations: I want to give love and I want to receive love. Then why not, right this moment, steel ourselves against failure, against subterfuge, against deception, and cut straight to love?”
― John-Roger, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living

“As another example, if, through deceit and lies, you caused someone to go to jail unjustly, you may find yourself at some future point imprisoned for a crime that you did not commit. If you then accept what is happening and learn all you can from the experience, you will balance and clear the karmic debt. But if you go into hate, anger, and revenge, you will perpetuate your karma and get to experience it again and again until you learn to bring yourself into balance with it. You might not experience imprisonment as a physical prison experience, but perhaps you might find yourself “trapped” in a job you cannot stand and unable, for some reason, to change that situation. You might find yourself “trapped” in a family situation or in a marriage. There are a lot of ways to be imprisoned. When something happens that appears to hurt you, rather than resisting it and pushing it away, you will embrace it. You will expand your consciousness to encompass the changes and the new situation and to find what new freedoms are available to you. When you begin to understand karma, you can begin to realize that some actions that appear to be “bad” may be actions of fulfilling karma and, therefore, right and proper within that framework. For example, in a previous lifetime, a mother abandons her child and leaves it in the hands of people who do not really care for the child. Because the mother refused to accept and handle her responsibility for the child, the child grew up unloved, abused, misused, and leading a very unhappy, embittered life. The child reembodies at some point, grows up, and has a child of her own, who happens to be her mother from the previous life. She may feel no love for her baby and may abandon it, giving it the opportunity to have the same experience and learn what it is like to be abandoned and unloved. People who observe this might be apt to judge this mother for abandoning the child, when she is actually only fulfilling the karma and bringing to the other consciousness the experience that is necessary to free it from the karma it had created in that other lifetime. So unless you can read the karmic records and see what is within each person’s heart, it is best not to judge actions that appear to be unusual or cruel. It may be an action fulfilling a karmic debt.”
