27 Quotes by Kabir Edmund Helminski

The original meaning of healing was „to make whole“. We can be healed of our separateness through our contact with something whole. We can know we are not separate from the whole, and we can know the universe through knowing ourselves.

When we are aware of the abundance of Life, synchronous events unfold in the continuum of time; Love brings together what needs to be brought together. (p. 217)

Human beings stand in the rubble of former beliefs.

Realization, in its fullest meaning, is not merely knowing something, but making it real in oneself. We come to this essential Self through a process of deconditioning, reconditioning, and unconditioning. This can also be described as minimizing what is negative, increasing what is positive, and, ultimately, opening to Spirit.

Let the Jesus of your Spirit ride the donkey; Don‘t make your Jesus carry the donkey. Rumi, Mathnawi II: 1853-5

Our work is to cross a treshold into emptiness and stillness. It is like entering an empty room that proves to hold a great presence. The apparent emptiness of simple presence is richer than the crowded experience of ordinary personality. We can either be empty with Spirit or full of ourselves.

The mirror of pure awareness is obscured by layers of emotional and mental conditioning. Just as polishing transforms a mineral or stone into a reflective object, regularly wiping clean the mirror of awareness will allow a human being to reflect the light of Being itself. The spiritual process can be understood as learning to consciously reflect more and more of this Being. If we would clear the inner mirror, the light of Being would be reflected outwardly, pouring out of our eyes. (p. 100)

Grace is always there. It is the Life that flows from the Source of Life. What we need to learn is to receive it and to become aware that grace is flowing from Life all the time. This Life is within us. All the qualities we might need are available if we can form the right connection. The three unlocking keys to the Source of Life are humility, gratitude, and love. When these qualities begin to prevail in our inner life we become receptive to grace. (S. 144)

As long as human beings are unconscious and dominated by selfish and illusory desires, there is no god who will force us to change. But as the history of revelation on earth testifies, guidance has come to all communities and nations. Through masters, saints and prophets, through sacred texts and oral tradition, humanity has been reminded and warned. Cosmic intelligence has continually been in communication with us; now the burden of responsibility rests on each human heart. (p. 164)
