"I believe that on a higher level, everyone embodies the archetypal aspects of Jesus, Krishna, Mohammed, et cetera. These archetypes of our ideals serve to heal our sense of soul-loss. They help us remember a part of us that we often forget about in everyday life." Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., 'The Soul and Quantum Physics'

SHADOWS OF THE SACRED: SEEING THROUGH SPIRITUAL ILLUSIONS
Frances Vaughan, Ph.D.
|

| 1 |
"Reflect on all the love expressed by people everywhere who want to give and receive love. Feel the unconditional love of healers everywhere who want to relieve suffering wherever they find it. Remember that you are among them. You can find the source of infinite, healing compassion in the depths of your own heart."
|

"Nothing is excluded from the circle of wholeness."
|
|

"Love as the creative Source of being is always already present."
|
|
| 4 |
"Freedom from fear lets us say yes to life. When we have seen past the shadow, everything can be perceived as grace."
|
|
| 5 |
"You have only to wake up to who and what you are to discover that Spirit, as the ground of being, is always present wherever you are, whether you know it or not."
|
|
| 6 |
"Shadows are dispelled when we begin to see the world through the eyes of love and acceptance rather than judgment."
|
|
| 7 |
"The Self is one with Spirit, as the Source of all being."
|
|
| 8 |
"Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person. It is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole, not toward one 'object' of love." Erich Fromm
|
|
| 9 |
"The soul that empathetically identifies with both the pain and the joy of others begins to see that in the inner world we are not separate from each other. Peace and joy, no less than pain and sorrow, are shared, collective experiences. In the inner world it becomes clear that we can choose what we want to cultivate and that help is available."
|
|
| 10 |
"The soul comes to rest only in its true home, the Source of love."
|
|
| 11 |
"Compassion sees the One in the many. Wisdom sees the many as One."
|
|
| 12 |
"The sole purpose and goal for human life, the supreme ideal of which all other ideals are simply an expression, is to cultivate love….There is no boundary whatsoever to pure love – it embraces humanity and Divinity equally. In this most intense love, no sense of duality can remain." Ramakrishna
|
|
| 13 |
"New perceptions of possibility for a sustainable society that envision a compassionate consciousness infusing the world, in which love is the unifying force that makes global reconciliation possible, need to be adopted by those who aspire to freedom."
|
|
| 14 |
"As our soul contemplates its Archetype, so that Archetype in turn contemplates the One, which is its Source." Plotinus
|
|
| 15 |
"The one reality is, for the mystic, an object of love that draws us homeward under the guidance of the heart."
|
|
| 16 |
"Esoteric wisdom teaches that death is not an end, but a transformation, and that death is followed by rebirth."
|
|
| 17 |
"When we are willing to face our fear we may discover that behind the shadows and illusions runs a deep and all-pervading undercurrent of love."
|
|
| 18 |
"A diamond will cut a piece of glass, no matter what words we use for 'diamond', cut', and 'glass' – and a soul can experience God, no matter what words we use for 'soul', 'experience', and 'God'." Ken Wilber, 'Paths Beyond Ego'
|

"We light the way for each other when we share and extend love, whatever form it takes. Love is not subject to birth or death; it is infinite, changeless and eternal, and it appears in many forms. In this sense, love is the bright, clear radiance of pure nondual awareness."
|
|
| 20 |
"The collective dimension of the psyche encompasses the immense mythical universe and connects the individual soul to what happens to all people in all places at all times. We can therefore resonate to myths and stories from cultures other than our own when they deal with such universal themes as birth and death, joy and sorrow, hope and despair."
|
|
| 21 |
"By turning to the source of intuitive wisdom that can be found in the depths of the soul, we can discover a universal source of inspiration and renewal."

"The divinity permeates existence."
|
|
| 24 |
"The deeper we go into our own suffering and sorrow, the more we discover that the seeds of love and healing lie hidden under the pain."
|
|
| 25 |
"To recognize an inner source of love is to access a source of self-healing without which therapeutic techniques and medicines are of limited value. Healing hearts and minds depends on opening to love."
