| 45a52e5 | The biggest choice for me was surrendering the need to understand. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| d226394 | When best-selling author and spiritual teacher Iyanla Vanzant joined me on the show, I told her that I keep the lesson in forgiveness she shared with me in a little book of quotes I've collected over the years: "You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, .. | Oprah Winfrey | ||
| 574118a | We've got to learn how to trust ourselves and dare to acknowledge what we really feel. We've got to learn how to trust that God is in the mix and that we are a part of God. We've got to learn how to trust each other to do the right thing because it's the right thing. We've got to learn how to trust in the process of life and surrender our inflated human egos. Because | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 70bed03 | Once you commit to believing that you can trust yourself, your positive internal voice will eventually become louder than the negative external voices. Trusting what you hear--whether or not those around you agree with you--is a powerful and important step | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 34df461 | We must fill our minds with a truth loud enough to drown our the incessant defeatist voice of the negative ego. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| bc143d2 | It is impossible to pretend that you are not heir to, and therefore, however inadequately or unwillingly, responsible to, and for, the time and place that give you life. --James Baldwin | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| d3a0c7d | The bottom line intention of Trust is this: You must commit to building your trust muscles on a daily basis through spiritual practice. Because trust is an inner process, the development and deepening of trust can happen only within you. That is why a consistent spiritual practice is so critical. It is the means by which you can reach the point within yourself where you know and accept that no matter what happens, you will be okay. You | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 9681af9 | Trust is an essential soul need. The psychological injuries and emotional wounds we experience as children affect our soul. When the soul does not develop within the experience of trust, there remains within us a child who is in a constant search for attention, understanding, love, respect, and possibly justice for her abuse or neglect. These needs, when left unmet and unaddressed, will fester and grow into disruptive and/or dysfunctional b.. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| e47b02c | As you move through today's practice, give yourself permission to tell the low-down, dirty truth about what you are thinking, feeling, and believing. What part of yourself can you see in your partner/ex-partner? And are you willing to forgive it in you? Love brings up everything unlike itself. This means the deeper you love someone, the more unloving parts of yourself will be revealed. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 9064585 | It is far better to be free to govern or misgovern yourself than to be governed by anybody else. -- Kwame Nkrumah | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 8bc23d0 | If I am seeing something that is blocking my awareness of love, it is an image of a false idea that I created and only forgiveness will dissolve it. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 3ee8fff | In order to reconnect with and heal this aspect of our identity and learn to trust ourselves again, we must acknowledge that we feel angry, sad, and injured, even if we do not understand why. Redeeming this inner child and reestablishing trust within ourselves also means learning how to love, care for, and nourish ourselves in the way we longed for as children. As we learn to heal the inner child and reconnect with the innocence and trustin.. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| c671144 | you pray for something and you do not see the answer, consider the following: (1) Is what you want good for you? (2) Will you or anyone else be hurt by your having it? (3) Are you ready for the responsibility of having it? If you can answer these questions affirmatively, and the answer to your prayer has not manifested, the issue is probably patience. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 061a000 | I am now willing to forgive myself ... for not taking time to deal with certain unpleasant memories. You don't have to be angry because you were not recognized or acknowledged as a child. No matter how hard you tried or how well you did, no one noticed. It may have seemed as if those who were a little better, a little bigger, a little smarter got all the attention. That may be true, but you don't have to be mad about that today. You don't h.. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 3f6e2a8 | To forgive your mother opens and heals your heart. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| f6d73c8 | When we experienced anger, we had to stuff it, camouflage it or deny it. In essence, we held on to it. That anger grew with us into habits, attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and decisions. Anger makes us anxious and impatient. Angry people are, "See, I told you so!" people. They can also be, "I knew this would happen!" people. They are always looking for reasons to be angry and ways to express the anger they have been holding. If you feel lef.. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| dc78992 | Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live . . . And | Iyanla Vanzant | ||

| b04393d | In the conditions of the proletariat, those of old society at large are already virtually swamped. The proletarian is without property; his relation to his wife and children has no longer anything in common with the bourgeois family-relations; modern industrial labour, modern subjection to capital, the same in England as in France, in America as in Germany, has stripped him of every trace of national character. Law, morality, religion, are .. | Friedrich Engels | ||
| 5138867 | Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels said, "The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: abolition of private property." | Barry Asmus | ||
| f4d32c1 | In proportion as the exploitation of one individual by another is put an end to, the exploitation of one nation by another will also be put an end to. In proportion as the antagonism between classes within the nation vanishes, the hostility of one nation to another will come to an end. | Karl Marx Friedrich Engels | ||
| 255e083 | Whereas Buddhists believe that the law of nature was discovered by Siddhartha Gautama, Communists believed that the law of nature was discovered by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The similarity does not end there. Like other religions, Communism too has its holy scripts and prophetic books, such as Marx's Das Kapital, which foretold that history would soon end with the inevitable victory of the proletariat. | Yuval Noah Harari | ||
| 1bdc0f0 | Beauvoir lent Maheu a recent English novel she had enjoyed, , by Michael Arlen. She admired its independent heroine, Iris Storm. Maheu did not. 'I have no liking for women of easy virtue,' he told her. 'Much as I like a woman to please me, I find it impossible to respect any woman I've had.' Beauvoir was indignant. 'One does not an Iris Storm! | Hazel Rowley | ||
| a1446ab | If a woman was not free, it could be for two reasons. Her lack of freedom could be inflicted, in which case it constituted oppression. Or it could be chosen, in which case it represented a moral fault. In both cases, it was absolute evil. | Hazel Rowley | ||
| 1481950 | Sometimes he wakes so far from himself that he can't even remember who he is. 'Where am I?' he asks, desperate, and then, 'Who am I? Who am I?' And then he hears, so close to his ear that it is as if the voice is originating inside his own head, Willem's whispered incantation. 'You're Jude St. Francis. You are my oldest, dearest friend. You're the son of Harold Stein and Julia Altman. You're the friend of Malcolm Irvine, Jean-Baptiste Mario.. | Hanya Yanagihara | ||

| fc6b97f | As recently as the early 1970s, a Republican president - Richard Nixon - was willing to impose wage and price controls to rescue the U.S. economy from crisis, popularizing the notion that "We are all Keynesians now." But by the 1980s, the battle of ideas waged out of the same Washington think tanks that now deny climate change had successfully managed to equate the very idea of industrial planning with Stalin's five-year plans. Real capital.. | Naomi Klein | ||
| ddd38a0 | In a post-Sept. 11 world, I thought the prudent use of violence could be therapeutic. --Richard Cohen, a Washington Post columnist, on his support for the invasion of Iraq2 | Naomi Klein | ||
| f0cf680 | Unless you truly believed in something to the deepest depth of your being, as did Delamater, all men were whores in the end. There was an old joke that had always struck Delamater as defining of the human species. A man asks a woman if she would sleep with him for ten million dollars. She agrees. He then asks if she would sleep with him for a dollar. She is aghast. "What kind of woman do you take me for?" she asks. To that, the man responds.. | Douglas E. Richards | ||
| 7a6e9bd | Your True Self is who you objectively are from the beginning, in the mind and heart of God, "the face you had before you were born," as the Zen masters say. It is your substantial self, your absolute identify, which can never be gained nor lost by any technique, group affiliation, morality, or formula whatsoever. The surrendering of our false self, which we have usually taken for our absolute identity, yet is merely a relative identity, is .. | identity suffering | Richard Rohr | |
| e604560 | Grover} Cleveland, this product of good conscience and self-help, with his stern ideas of purity, efficiency, and service, was a taxpayer's dream, the ideal bourgeois statesmen for his time: out of heartfelt conviction he gave to the interests what many a lesser politician might have sold them for a price. He was the flower of American political culture in the Gilded Age. | Richard Hofstadter | ||
| 9bfa1af | Violent anti-communist fears by the military and munition makers justified the transformation of a once democratic nation into the fascist state we have today. Members of the Nazi Party now hold key positions in our universities, factories, aircraft and aerospace programs.14 When the Nazi empire collapsed in 1945, General Reinhard Gehlen joined forces with our OSS. Gehlen was placed in charge of wartime intelligence for Foreign Armies East... | Mae Brussell | ||

| 1c2108a | Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God. - Andrew Murray - Prayer - | Nicholas Appleyard | ||
| 907f7c7 | People who talk only of themselves think only of themselves. And "those people who think only of themselves," Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, longtime president of Columbia University, said, "are hopelessly uneducated. They are not educated," said Dr. Butler, "no matter how instructed they may be." | Dale Carnegie | ||
| f549be1 | Huxley's Perennial Philosophy is concerned with] the need to love the earth and respect nature instead of following the example of those who 'chopped down vast forests to provide the newsprint demanded by that universal literacy which was to make the world safe for intelligence and democracy, and got wholesale erosion, pulp magazines, and organs of Fascist, Communist, capitalist, and nationalist propaganda.' He attacked 'technological imper.. | Nicholas Murray | ||

| d8cf480 | for. As Napoleon continued, the full extent of his intentions gradually became clearer: having conquered Egypt, he would then mount an expedition to India, where he would attack the British. This force would require 60,000 men, 30,000 of whom would be recruited and trained from amongst the Egyptians; it would take 10,000 horses and 50,000 camels, sufficient to carry supplies for sixty days and water for six. Other provisions would be seques.. | Paul Strathern | ||
| 2407ae9 | Whilst in the process of losing all his money, Cardano noticed that his opponent had marked the cards. Whereupon he leapt up, slashed his opponent across the face with his dagger and grabbed the money. Outwitting his host's spear-wielding servants, he fled into the night-shrouded maze of the streets, eventually falling into a canal. [Footnote: It is interesting to note that Cardano may well have been rector of the University of Padua at the.. | venice | Paul Strathern | |

| aa70f25 | As a consequence of Wittgenstein's philosophy, the questions once asked by philosophy have now passed into the realms of poetry. The way poetry is going, it looks as if they won't be asked much longer here either. We have learned to do without God, and it looks as if we will learn to do without philosophy. It will now, alas, join the ranks of subjects which are completed (and have become completely spurious), such as alchemy, astrology, pla.. | Paul Strathern | ||
| 7f1a311 | As Napoleon later put it, when describing his feelings at this time: "I saw the way to achieve all my dreams. . . . I would found a religion, I saw myself marching on the way to Asia, mounted on an elephant, a turban on my head, and in my hand a new Koran that I would have composed to suit my needs. In my enterprises I would have combined the experiences of the two worlds, exploiting the realm of all history for my own profit."7" | Paul Strathern |
