We need to learn how to make our living, dying, and returning an entirely conscious, loving, and safe process.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

Care without compulsion is the key.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

“Red is a stimulant—of the body and all the energy systems. It is the colour of fire. Without fire, we cannot create anything. It is the colour of blood. Without blood, we shrivel and die. It is the colour of heart. Without heart, we destroy everything.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

“Idols are both material and nonmaterial forms. They are anything that becomes a God to us. The breaking of idols is not a dream breaker. It is a fear breaker.

― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

“We need difference to help us grow and blossom. It is what happens in life-enhancing relationships. Imagine living with a clone of yourself. How utterly boring. How uninspiring. How intolerable.

― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

“When suffering from a relationship breakup, tell yourself that this, too, will pass. It will!”

“Some people believe that arrogance is a forgivable sign of confidence. They do not understand that arrogance makes them unteachable. It comes from fear. Fear of not knowing. Fear of being stupid. Fear of being wrong. Arrogance is a protection—a faulty one.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

Not the sort of pain that generally accompanies humans from birth to grave (with only minor variations), but the pain that accompanies a serious student of life, the sort of pain that pushes one to let go of the known and reach for something else, the sort of pain that makes growth inescapable, irresistible, and irreversible.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

“Our bodies are made of water, earth, wind, fire, and ether (emptiness). If the elements are organised and managed well, there will be health and balance. The body will not complain and will be a valuable tool for the hopefully hundred years we are here.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction
