Notable Quotes About Realization 4Just as a single snapshot could not show you the whole of a house, likewise a single description could hardly capture the whole essence of a Spiritual Truth such as Realization. Therefore, we can only come to understand Realization by looking at it from as many different views as possible. Following is a short collection of notable quotes about Realization. By considering how each one of these individuals “sees” Realization you will begin to develop a more holistic view, and a “felt sense,” of the true nature of Realization.

Dr. Ernest Holmes“There is a point in the supreme moment of realization, where the individual merges with the Universe, but not to the loss of his individuality; where a sense of Oneness of all Life so enters his being that there is no sense of otherness. It is here that mentality preforms seeming miracles, because there is nothing to hinder the Whole from coming through.”

“It may be considered as a general rule that when the soul is poised in true spiritual realization the body will be normal and healthy.”

“We should never hesitate to say that we know the Truth, because we do, for the realization of the Unity of God and man is the Truth. We simply need a greater realization of this. How are we to get it? Only by penetrating deeper and deeper into our own Divine Nature – pushing further and further back into the Infinite. Where do we do this? There is no place except within that we can do it. Who is to do it for us? No one. No one can.”

“What is it we need for greater freedom? Nothing but a greater realization of what we already know.”

“You cannot have a revelation greater than your realization.”

Charles Fillmore“Realization is the deep inner conviction and assurance of the fulfillment of an ideal. It means at-one-ment, completion, perfection, wholeness, repose, resting in God. It is the dawning of Truth in the consciousness.”

“When realization takes place, one abides in the light of God-mind.”

Osho“One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate

realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don’t leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.” Eckhart Tolle“True communication is communion- the realization of oneness, which is love.”

Ralph Waldo Trine“In the degree, that you come into a vital realization of your oneness with the Infinite Spirit of Life, whence all life in individual form has come and is continually coming, and in the degree that through this realization you open yourself to its divine inflow, you set into operation forces that will sooner or later bring even the physical body into a state of abounding health and strength. For to realize that this Infinite Spirit of Life can from its very nature admit of no disease, and to realize that this, then is the life in you, by realizing your oneness with it, you can so open yourself to its more abundant entrance that the diseased bodily conditions – effects – will respond to the influences of its all-perfect power, this either quickly or more tardily, depending entirely on yourself.”

“There have been those who have been able to open themselves so fully to this realization that the healing has been instantaneous and permanent. The degree of intensity always eliminates in like degree the element of time. It must, however, be a calm, quiet and expectant intensity, rather than an intensity that is fearing, disturbed and non-expectant.”

Rev. Dennis Merritt JonesA realization may be experienced as a Divine “Ah-ha.” It’s simply an awareness of God’s presence, infused within us and around us in whatever we are saying or doing.

FFFFEEEEAAAARRRR:::: AAAAnnnnttttiiiitttthhhheeeessssiiiissss ooooffff FFFFaaaaiiiitttthhhhFear is the antithesis of Faith. It is the negationof confidence. Like Faith, fear may be consciousor subjective, and if it is to be eliminated, itmust be removed both consciously andsubjectively.

TTTThhhheeee UUUUnnnniiiivvvveeeerrrrssssaaaallll DDDDoooouuuubbbbttttWhile it is true that we can trace specific fears tocertain incidents that transpired early in life, andwhile it is true that if we do this we can removethem, most fears finally resolve themselves intoa very few attitudes of mind, most of which arebased on the belief “no one wants me, needs me,or loves me; probably I am unworthy, unnecessary,and useless; I am inadequate to meet life, I have notthe strength or the power or the will to overcomeobstructions, and I do not fit anywhere.”(The Universal Doubt - ““““IIII aaaammmm nnnnooootttt eeeennnnoooouuuugggghhhh....”””” )Well, the way to get rid of fear is throughthe cultivation of faith; a faith founded onthe thought that God is all there is.

MMMMiiiissssppppllllaaaacccceeeedddd FFFFaaaaiiiitttthhhhBut what is fear? Nothing more nor lessthan…faith misplaced; a belief in two pow-ers instead of One; a belief that there can be aPower, opposed to God, whose influence andability may bring us evil. In other words, to cor-rect all the evils of the world, would be but tohave the positive faith, faith rightly placed, afaith that lays hold of the integrity of theUniverse, the beneficence of God and the Unityof all life. Nevertheless, we cannot have faithin that which we do not in some measure un-derstand.

TTTTuuuurrrrnnnniiiinnnngggg FFFFeeeeaaaarrrr iiiinnnnttttoooo FFFFaaaaiiiitttthhhhFear and faith are identical in that the energyused in the one is the same energy as that usedin the other, since there is but one final Energy inthe universe and this final Energy is the energyof thought.

You should be careful not to fight fear too much,but rather, through a sort of flexible imagina-tion, convert fear into faith.

Realizing that it is a mental attitude, you can dothis very easily. Looking at the thing which youfear and examining the thought of fear whichyou have about it, convert this thought into oneof faith, realizing that the energy of fear con-verted into faith will produce an effect exactlyopposite.

If you will look at the thing you are afraid ofuntil you really understand it, it will nolonger have any element of fear for you.You can do this in such degree as you are con-scious of being Divinely guided and protected,and state your realization of this in a definitemanner.

FFFFaaaacccciiiinnnngggg YYYYoooouuuurrrr FFFFeeeeaaaarrrrssssTo begin with you might follow a few simplerules. First of all, if you are filled with fears,do not harbor them as a great secret in yourlife but find some close friend or confidantto whom you may unburden your whole soul.This will release the tension which your fearshave built up in your body. Just to talk with acalm, confident person, who can point out thereason why you need not entertain these fears, isa great relief. (See a Practitioner.)

This is, however, but a temporary thing, fornext you must learn to face the fears. Youshould not be afraid to analyze them andyou should explain to yourself just why youknow there is nothing to be afraid of.Whenever you find yourself brooding over somefear or entertaining some anxiety, begin at onceto do something about it.

FFFFAAAAIIIITTTTHHHH:::: AAAAttttttttiiiittttuuuuddddeeee ooooffff TTTTrrrruuuutttthhhhFaith is a mental attitude which is so con-vinced of its own idea—which so completelyaccepts it—that any contradiction is un-thinkable and impossible. Before such amental attitude can be created, there mustbe nothing left in the subjective state of ourthought which contradicts our objective af-firmation.
