“Just these two words He spoke changed my life, "Enjoy Me"
What a burden I thought I was to carry-a crucifix as did He.
Love once said to me: "I know a song, would you like to hear it?"
And laughter came from every brick in the street and from every pore in the sky.
After a night of prayer, He changed my life when He sang "Enjoy me".”
― Teresa of Ávila, 10 Jewels of Christian Mysticism: A Selection of Western Tradition Primary Texts

“Stop trying to heal yourself, fix yourself, even awaken yourself. Let go of letting go. Stop trying to fast-forward the movie of your life, chasing futures that never seem to arrive. Instead, bow deeply to yourself as you actually are. Your pain, your sorrow, your doubts, your deepest longing, your fearful thoughts...are not mistakes, and they aren't asking to be healing. They are asking to be held. Here, now, lightly, in the loving arms of present awareness.”
― Jeff Foster, Beyond Awakening: The End of the Spiritual Search

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
― Carl Gustav Jung
