quotes from my fav book

Some quotes from my favorite book Ramtha, That Elixir Called Love

"there is no educational system that deals with person's emotions. There isn't. There is only educational systems that deal with teaching people to be robots of manifesto of a certain criteria of how to live and how to be."

"Your whole life is about emotion. it is about feeling good. It is about feeling bad. Imagine a life where those are not comparable to one's justification of self. Can you do that? Oh you say you can, but I have people up here that couldnt even stand to live without each other."

"When you develop the body, oftentimes you strave the mind. You starve the mind for the sake of bodies, your chemical reactions, because you re a bag of chemicals, you know. You starve that for fulfillment, and you think that is living. But did it ever occur to you that maybe living is a higher order, a mind that is so sharp and so powerful it can manifest anything? Does that exclude the body? No the body becomes the perfect temple of a great masterful leader.
Does this mean you will never have sexual relationships again? No, but it means that they will be more cherished, more real, and more int he moment, and not artificial. Does it mean that you re going to miss out on business opportunities? No, it will just make you wiser, more clever and more knowing. You will be light years a head of the game. Does it mean indeed that you have missed out on seeing the world? Once you have seen the world in only a microcosm of here and there, you will realize how ignorant the world really is."

"so what do you call love? i have watched many of you define love, but you dont even know what you re talking about. It is important that you learn. Love is not about the first seal, going to bed with someone, copulating with them. That is not love; that is lust. And many of you have lusted your way into responsibility of children not even having the opportunity of having love as a many-splendored thing."

"And the reflection of love as a many splendored thing is essentially the reflection of ourself, and that when we look in this mirror, we re lookign at another entity. But the entity spontaneously puts up with its reflection that meet it on the mirror, that is smiles and we smile, that its eyes dance and our eyes dance and that when we come together, full body, and we touch, the onyl thing that separates us is that it is an illusion of our reflection. Then we are in splendor.
What does this mean? A reflection in the mirror will never be dishonest. A reflection in the mirror will never lie. A reflection in the mirror will never animate on its own. When we look at the reflection, it looks at us squarely. And even when we turn our back to glance to see if it is still there, it is looking back at us. It has no past and has no future. It is pur partner in the moment of our delight, in the moment that we celebrate some primeval, celestial place."
