Favorite Quote from a New Dimensions Guest : Linda Yael Schiller

POSTED November 16, 2022 IN
Archived Inspirational Quotes

People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

Carl Jung, (1865-1961) Swiss psychiatrist and
psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology

Hope is being able to see that there is light, despite all the darkness.

Desmond Tutu (1931-2021) South African Anglican bishop
and theologian, known for his work as an
anti-apartheid and human rights activist

“These two quotes seem to me to be companion pieces. They inspire me to remember that darkness and light are flip sides of the same coin. As we move through different aspects and phases of our life, hanging on to hope and the knowledge that we’re moving forward toward the light is something that can inspire us and give us an impetus to keep going even in our darkest times. There is no such thing as a life without some pain. As the Buddhists say ‘Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.’ I like to remember that too. So, when in doubt turn to the light which helps us to keep going.”
