“Pray FOR positive outcomes, never ON perceived dilemmas”

“What does one do with experience? Do we react negatively, or do we (pro)create from the space of positivity?”

“Subject to the law(s) of nature, hate is born to die”

“Death follows stagnation”

“The companion of patience is silence.”

“One who rules is ruled.”

“In the company of ignorance, be silent...or join the suffering.”

“Diet corresponding to blood type, not food hype.”

“Healing comes by three avenues; what one eats, thinks and celebrates.”

“It's not enough to know pain; you must know how to redirect it's force.”

“If he lacks verbal expression of it, you may find his love profoundly in his works, deeds and creativity; so recognize rather than criticize.”

“Waste no time lamenting with regard to what is lacking. In such instances, immediately turn focus toward what is to be...and remain poised to receive that which is due.”

“Sometimes, rather than just think about it, we need to feel about it. The intellect is limited or finite, while intuition connects to a sea of unlimited consciousness that expands far beyond time and space (as we know it).”

“No matter how much and how often - 'things' will never compensate for loss or absence...no matter how guilty a parent feels.”

“When they bring the drama, get silent, don't react...and watch what happens (not to you, but those who habitually thrive on your 'willing' participation).”

“Don't rush to fellowship at the church, temple or mosque if you don't do so at the house - first. "Charity begins at home".”

“Haters' don't hate you, they hate self and project the energy outward because there is no courage to confront internal fears. Therefore, ignore hate or else it becomes you, also.”

“CAPITALISM: If everything worked without need of repair, upgrade or replacement, then peaceful minds and prosperity would prevail among the masses rather than just the few who control markets.”

“Ignorance is not bliss; it is a sure path to annihilation.”

“If someone you love and care for is determined to traverse the path of despair, natural law obliges that they ‘will’ regardless of any and all efforts to redirect their lowly path.”

“Doing things for others can make the 'giver' happy, but trying to change or control another will drive you crazy, because it cannot be sustained. One must give without expectation(s) and allow others, even your offspring, the opportunity of self-determination -- even when you "perceive" danger on the road ahead; each spiritual journey has a right to its own fulfillment. We must learn how to stay in our lane.”

“Priorities are simple to establish; what is desire and what is necessity?”

“Each one comes to their own understanding and recognition of truth in their own time, not in yours.”

“Streams of conscious ‘knowing’ flows like the Nile when one is open from within.”

“Do not hate someone else’s ‘shine’…but have enough courage to look in the mirror and see the truth for what it is.”

“Upon examination of a people’s history, beware the story teller’s motives.”

“One who seeks to control others is one who suffers from the affliction of fear.”

“Ideally, love is unconditional; practically, it is more often the opposite.”

“All matters being spiritual; man or woman can only find peace when peace is realized from within.”

“Do not only think about it, but feel about it, also, before taking appropriate action.”

“Don’t spoil me with your lies, love me with your truth.”

“Bling" is not an indication of riches. It is a product of value-based spending, to enrich the pockets of those outside of ones sphere of influence...the haves' bleeding the have-nots'.”

“In the game of life, we all receive a set of variables and limitations in the field of play. We can either focus on the lack thereof or empower ourselves to create better realities with the pieces we play the game with.”

“Love spiritually, not strategically.”

“The ego lusts for satisfaction. It has a prideful ferocious appetite for its version of "truth". It is the most challenging aspect to conquer; the cause for most spiritual turmoil.”

“Life: It is better not to wrap philosophy around such an inconceivable evolving beautiful mystery. If based on perception, alone; whatever the conclusion - it is still guessing.”

“What surrounds us is what is within us.”

“The sky is not my limit...I am.”

“Day or night, good or bad…all things from within.”

“While fear depletes power, faith gives wings for the soul’s elevation.”

“Having beef with someone is unnecessary and avoidable. Whatever the issue, if not positive, it is an opportunity to cut the excess fat from an unhealthy dietary network. Simply excuse yourself from the table of negativity and lean forward in peace.”

“The energy it took to exit mother’s womb is the same force required to manifest a dream...a different kind of struggle. Push, push, push!”

“A King and Queen cannot support a crown with eyes looking down. Their universe expands as far as you can see.”

“Past and future is determined by what is now…right now! This is why the present is a gift; the only one that ultimately matters most.”

“During moments of strife and 'dis-ease', check your flow and redirect your focus to that which is naturally good.”

“Both friend and enemy reside within us. One lives by the rule of compassion, the other by the rule of hard knocks. Though potential influence of either extreme is inevitable, our actions bear witness to the one we embrace.”

“Head up, heart open. To better days!”

“Deep within, there is something profoundly known, not consciously, but subconsciously. A quiet truth, that is not a version of something, but an original knowing. What this, absolute, truth [identity] is may be none of our business…but it is there, guiding us along the path of greater becoming; a true awareness. It is so self-sustaining that our recognition of it is not required. We are offspring’s of such a powerfully divine force – Creator of all things known and unknown.”

“The positive vibrations of unregulated joy, peace, happiness and tranquility is freedom.”
