"The mind is limitless. We are not our brains, our bodies, our clothes, or our homes. We are not our bank accounts, our jobs, our countries, or even our names. We are much, much more. We are spiritual beings whose true native language is love."Forward by James Van Praagh in Bowman (2001). Return from Heaven: beloved Relatives Reincarnated within Your Family. p. xi.
'Children are also much more in tune with their intuition. They have yet to form an awareness of a religion or belief system, therefore, they rely upon their "feelings" or "senses" to give them answers. Part of this awareness is due to the fact that they have recently arrived here from the spirit world, and their mindset is still rich with the influence of that world. Therefore utilize and nurture their light, because it is our responsibility to keep it lit. A child's mind is the seat of the soul and should be left as pure and free as possible, so they can foster a true and meaningful spiritual self. For it has been noted, one must be like a child to enter the gates of heaven.'Forward by James Van Praagh in Carol Bowman (2001), Return from Heaven: Beloved Relatives Reincarnated within Your Family. p. x.
"Each of us is given a lifetime of opportunities to become a better person for having had the experience of all of our relationships. Whether or not those opportunities are fulfilled remains a matter of free will, but the potential is ever present."
"The issues she [Diana] was addressing--Aids, battered women, drug addiction, alienation and loneliness--were challenging ones, not only for herself but also for society. She was learning the hard way that this was a school of hard knocks."
'In Cayce's cosmology, it is through an ongoing process of personal spiritual growth and development that each individual learns, grows and constantly meets self--self's past experiences, relationships, inclinations, talents, and faults in the form of karmic memory. With this in mind, when a twenty-two-year-old man asked Edgar Cayce, "From which side do I inherit most?" The reply came: "You have inherited most from yourself, not from the family! The family is only a river through which it (the entity, soul) flows!" (1233-1)'K Todeschil. (2011). Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation and Family Karma. p. 8.
"As stated previously, it's not that individuals come together as a means of forcing one another to deal with the karma that exists between them, instead that memory essentially resides within each individual alone. It is the relationship interaction that often causes each person to eventually face the karmic memory he or she possesses."
"Do not condemn self. Condemning of self is as much an error as condemning others. Live thine own self. Leave the results with God ... do not feel that ye have failed. Do not judge self. You have not failed, yet. You only fail if you quit trying."K. Todeschi (2011). Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation and Family Karma. p. 46.
