"WOWZA. I am so loving this book! Okay i'm not really on p 411 because I skip around a bit but, still, I'm finding this to be a really thorough and depthful exploration of how the Enneagram can be used to identify & (1) disindentify from the Personality through self observation, (2) surrender to the fear & emotional suffering associated with loosening ego defenses, and (3) actively work toward transcendence & union." — Oct 25, 2014 10:19AM

"Wow. I read dozens of books a year and haven't read a book in years that I recommend as highly as this one. It's not just about saying 'No' but about living in accordance with our deepest needs and values by getting clear about that to which, in our urge to say No, we are really wanting to say Yes. I don't care what other books I 'should' be reading for school rather than this one, cuz the author had me at "No." ;-)" — Oct 18, 2013 06:18PM

“Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, ``What shall we eat?'' or ``What shall we drink?'' or ``What shall we wear?'' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
- Matthew 6:25-34”

“What do you want to want to be, anyway?"
"I don't know; I guess what I want to be is a good Catholic."
"What you should say"--he told me--"what you should say is that you want to be a saint.”

“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon.... If a man speak or act with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”
