FREQUENCY by Penney Peirce
On Ending Suffering In Yourself"Suffering, even great physical pain and emotional loss, dissolves when you stop looking at it and for it. It disappears when you stop agreeing with it or fighting it. It becomes nothing when you cease to extract identity from it. In the higher realms, there is no suffering there are no victims, no saviors, no leaders, no followers, no haves and have-nots, no here and not-here. In higher frequencies, you know the power of being. Being reveals presence; you can expect the surprise return to the love you've never left. There is no pain in love, only in separation from love, and feeling separate is the CHOICE to suffer."

YESTERDAY I CRIED by Iyanla Vanzant
On shedding our old identity
"There always comes a time of elimination. The earth sheds each year. The trees and flowers let go of their identity. As the old identity dies, a new identity is born. The body sheds constantly. Some of it happens invisibly, so naturally and silently that we do not realize it is happening. The heart and the spirit also shed. They shed the emotions and experiences that we no longer need. They shed the things that stunt our growth. This too is an invisible process. Yet because of the energy involved, the emotional energy, we often feel the emotional and spiritual shedding. It feels as if we are dying. We are. Just like the flowers and the trees, we are dying to an old identity. This shedding, or death, is not the end of us. It is the beginning."
"The human mind, in its desire to know, understand, and control, mistakes its opinions and viewpoints for the truth. It says: this is how it is. You have to be larger than thought to realize that however you interpret "your life" or someone else's life or behavior, however you judge any situation, it is no more than a viewpoint, one of many possible perspectives. It is no more than a bundle of thoughts. But reality is one unified whole, in which all things are interwoven, where nothing exists in and by itself. Thinking fragments reality - it cuts it up into conceptual bits and pieces. The thinking mind is a useful and powerful tool, but it is also very limiting when it takes over your life completely, when you don't realize that it is only a small aspect of the consciousness that you are."
"People who have lightness about them are having fun. They inspire other people to have fun as well. They laugh easily. They are comfortable in their own skins. They don't have the time to sit around and sulk over not being able to meet people, because they are having too much fun to care. In life, you shouldn't have to pursue what you can attract. ...... To me, women with that lightness are the most desirable women in the world because it means that they've found a way to keep their lives balanced and to still embrace the very best that life has to offer. They are doing more than existing: They're living. They're doing more than hoping for happiness: They are going out and claiming it. What man wouldn't want a woman like that?"

STILLNESS SPEAKS by Eckhart Tolle
On the human mind"The human mind, in its desire to know, understand, and control, mistakes its opinions and viewpoints for the truth. It says: this is how it is.

THE CONVERSATION by Hill Harper
On single women and lightness of being"People who have lightness about them are having fun. They inspire other people to have fun as well. They laugh easily. They are comfortable in their own skins. They don't have the time to sit around and sulk over not being able to meet people, because they are having too much fun to care. In life, you shouldn't have to pursue what you can attract. ...... To me, women with that lightness are the most desirable women in the world because it means that they've found a way to keep their lives balanced and to still embrace the very best that life has to offer.
