All quotes from Hans' book
Our
intuition is meant to be used like smelling salts that we apply to wake up in
whatever situation we find ourselves.
The
ego has nothing to gain from your awakening.
A
provocateur is a person who knows what they must do to provoke themselves to
get back on their dharmic track, who courageously focus all that stands in the
way of claiming their original Self…. A provocateur isn’t an individual who
feels no fear. It’s a matter of him or
her being courageous enough to move closer to fear with respect and openness,
to silently stand in it long enough to discover its empty, illusory nature.
When you
trust the intuitive intelligence of the heart, then a possibility becomes a
probability, which becomes a reality.
Mind
chatter, whether negative or positive, is still mind chatter. Even though high-minded chatter feels better
to us and offers some relief, it is no substitute for the hearts’ intuitive
intelligence.
The more
we train in being aware, the more we will succeed in connecting with and
receiving the heart’s intuitive guidance throughout our daily activities. Then, when challenges, opportunities, and
perplexities present themselves, we will be prepared to follow the wisdom of
our heart.
Out of
the need for parental and eventually societal approval, a child begins to live
a life that has been created for it rather than by it, thereby desensitizing
the inherent awareness of her uniquely individual life path.
The
sacred responsibility that has been entrusted to parents is to grow their
children toward and not way from their authentic self.
No child
is a blank page. Each and every
spiritual-soul arrives on the planet with a custom-designed letterhead that
includes a mission statement. Not
realizing this, parents rewrite it, convinced about what should appear as its
header… and they go about indoctrinating their children with these
notions.
The
journey is largely about unlearning what you’ve been taught and releasing the
false perceptions you have embodied.
Ego is
the gatekeeper of our image, and its job description includes comparing
ourselves to and competing with others in the arena called “success”.
Our
laughter is like a mantra --- a verbal sound capable of clearing the mind and
creating a transformation that deepens with each repetition.
By making
your own laughter your mantra and repeating it often, you will be lifted into
your higher self and reclaim your childlike quality of wonderment.
Your life
is itself your one true religion. While
spiritual teachers, guides, and practices profoundly contribute to accelerating
one’s inner evolutionary progress, it is only in the laboratory of your own
life that you can consummate the practices that awaken you to the sublime
reality in your being.
When you
find yourself standing in the face of a challenge welcome it, knowing that it
holds before you a self-reflective mirror revealing the next evolutionary step
on your dharmic walk.
Our
intuition is the voice of spirit itself, connecting each of us to a world of
loving and wise spirit guides. Our part
is to become open and receptive to such grace-filled generosity and demonstrate
our gratitude by using this guiding compass in all aspects of our life.
