The Love of Being Loving Quotes

“Forgiving is easier when we understand that forgiving someone else means that we are freeing ourselves of an unnecessary burden.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Being popular or not, having company or being alone, are not issues of concern for the developed soul.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“When we maintain a conscious connection with Gratitude, our presence will naturally radiate a certain beauty and undisturbed, inner tranquillity. Such individuals glow. All such individuals look beautiful and seem irresistible to those who value goodness. They have an attractor field of loveliness which, likewise, tends to bring out the beauty in other people.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“To understand the love of being loving, radically changes us. People, in and of themselves, cannot give us happiness. Activities, in and of themselves, cannot give us happiness. One becomes a loving presence, a centre for Divine grace.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Wise individuals frequently say very little, but what they do say hits the mark. Such remarks often remain in the mind of the recipient for a long time, possibly a lifetime.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“True love is communicated nonverbally. It is set by our intention. If our intention is not at a level that is gracious, compassionate, and loving then no amount of sweet talk will ever convince the recipient of our goodwill. On the other hand, if our inner-being radiates peace and unselfish care then our presence will have a reassuring, uplifting, and healing effect, no matter what we say or omit to say. The recipient of our words will have a tendency to respect and appreciate us and will gravitate towards us.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“It is, often, in the utter despair of humanness that we become willing to consider deeply spiritual answers. Although the door and the guide will be different for people, once the door is open, we are all in the same territory. Spiritual truth irretrievably alters our way of seeing reality and our ability to heal both ourselves and other people. Most spiritual awakening is due to a total disappointment in the human condition to provide any sense of substantial happiness. It is a blessing in disguise. Our greatest need is for the love and assurance that spiritual understanding brings. If it were not for the common experience of human lovelessness and limitation then we would not be driven to seek a higher love.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“We become increasingly aware that the human dream, the human drama, with all its questionable, damaging, and often malevolent intention is not real life at all.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“We do not have the right to dictate to God how love will be revealed in our lives. We are open to all the varied and unexpected ways Love can choose to bless and use us. That is all we need to ensure our happiness. One who knows their connection with divine Love can never feel the isolation of loneliness or the fear of being rejected or deserted. One cannot be separated from or turned away from a love that knows no parting and is present and available under all circumstances.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“If you want to be happy, don’t gossip, don’t spread hate, don’t talk about other people, don’t spread fear, don’t complain, and don’t relay stories that are detrimental to the well-being of those around us. That will cut out the vast majority of most people’s conversations. There is a time for honest, well-intentioned directness, but it is not found in typical conversation and is a learned skill. Be a bringer of peace and healing.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Those who are not psychologically sophisticated, do not realise the extent to which the average person is unconsciously motivated by jealousy and envy. People who are not happy, confident, and fulfilled will generally resent those who are happier, more confident, and more fulfilled than them. Admiration and envy seem to be received in equal proportion as one develops and succeeds. Many famous people are admired with a passion and also hated with a vengeance. Powerful political leaders are respected and also ruthlessly criticised. Famous movie stars are adored and also grossly invaded and scrutinised. Nevertheless, we learn to think not 'what the world is doing to us' but 'what we are doing for the world.' Our attention is not on how the world is hurting us, but on how our presence is helping to heal the world. This outward and upward focus is our protection and our guide.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Yoga is often referred to as a moving meditation. In yoga, one goes deeply inward, connecting with the Divine while simultaneously moving the body in a beneficial and life-enhancing way. One does not force the pose or fall asleep. It is awake, reverent attention.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Sex, like everything else, is good or bad, helpful or unhelpful, pleasant or painful, fulfilling or demoralising based on the participants’ thoughts. Within the context of love, sex is a force for good. For many people, a loving sexual connection is the closest they ever get to a transcendent sense of benevolence, bliss, and that feeling of all is well—the closest they get to God. This is because loving sexual oneness is the shadow of true spiritual Oneness. As such, it carries with it some of the same elements, some of the same promise. The desire for physical unity represents the more profound desire for spiritual completeness. Within a spontaneous, playful, respectful, and unselfish context, sexual closeness is a channel for light, but it cannot fulfil our deepest yearnings.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Companionship, love, and support are everywhere and ever-present. They are the natural outflow of divinity. The greater our sense of primary divine connection, the more easily these beautiful life resources will be attracted into our existence. How could it be otherwise since we reflect not our own but Life’s excellent, appealing, and valuable qualities?”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“A spiritual being loves because no other way than Love is known. It is not dependent on the presence of another. Nor is it halted by the actions of another.

“If we know that we are deeply and completely loved by Life then we will know how to let it flow through us freely. If we know that the essential force of Life is immensely beautiful and endlessly creative then we will know how to follow our inner guidance. If we know that our true being is spiritually perfect, complete, and pure then we will be healthy, well-balanced, productive, and happy.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“As spiritual students, we need to be careful that the influence we have on other people in our conversations is for good only. We also need to be careful about what we allow into our own thoughts. We become conscious of what we do and say, and of what we see and hear. We do not engage in idle or intentional gossip which undermines someone else’s integrity or which spreads the seeds of fear by talking unthinkingly about illness, disasters, and all the other fears that run rampant in the world. We may talk lightly but never carelessly and we constantly keep at bay the flow of common, ignorant thought which runs its damaging course through the pathways of ordinary human conversation. Whenever there is an opportunity, our conversation seeks to validate, in some humble way, the beauty and love which constantly upholds us all.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“One who knows their connection with divine Love can never feel the isolation of loneliness or the fear of being rejected or deserted. One cannot be apart from or turned away from a Love which knows no parting and is present and available under all circumstances.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Spiritual principles, if true, are true for everyone. That is the yardstick that validates their authenticity. Authentic spiritual ideas also have the universal power to heal. Healing is the building block of both individual and collective spiritual evolution.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Sex can be a consensual sharing of body, mind, and spirit. It can be an opportunity to expand the physicality of the experience into the very beat of life, which is always alive, responsive, fulfilling and positive.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Dancing with a partner becomes a consensual sharing of energy where the two individuals can ideally take their cue from the tremendous flowing Movement beyond themselves.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Walking can become an opportunity to move the body easily, graciously, and freely while drawing within to the non-dimensional ease, grace, and freedom that supports the inner universe.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“The Infinite One cannot be torn apart from itself. It is our personification of good, our belief that it belongs to a personal identity, that makes grief possible. And it is our understanding of universal good, God being everywhere and in everything, that heals it. The qualities and abilities we may miss in someone are not missing from Life. Every beautiful quality in someone is abundantly present and waiting to be recognised in all of Life’s great symphony.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“To elevate our human experience, we translate the material into its spiritual essence. This way, we will find that supply and everything else we need is available in its most profound sense. We will also find that it will not tend to turn sour.
• Home is love, peace, and nurturing.

• Family is spiritual co-habitation, respect, and appreciation for another’s existence. 

• Work is purpose, service, creativity, and usefulness.

• Money is freedom and generosity.

• Success is goodwill, energy, intelligence, and initiative.

“We are constituted of Divinity itself—nothing else, nothing less.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“As we continue on the path, we find that thoughts we could easily tolerate with a less developed consciousness become increasingly intolerable and offensive to a more advanced consciousness.

“Once we are firmly on the path of forgiveness, we will find that it leads to lifting repressions and healing memories. Our happiness, lightness, joy, and peace will noticeably increase with every repressed hurt lifted and painful memory healed.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Being Loving

“Once we are firmly on the path of forgiveness, we will generally find that this process spontaneously leads to lifting repressions and healing memories. It is a natural and helpful coincidence of being interested in forgiveness. Further, we will find that our happiness, lightness, joy, and peace will noticeably increase with every repressed hurt lifted and painful memory healed.”
