Out of the Blue Quotes

“Controlling the breathing pattern controls the mind, which maximizes the energy and vitality of the body because of the unhampered flow of the life force.”

“Now do you see how people misuse my words against each other to validate their hatred and judgment? Now do you see how they take my words and use them as weapons to make others feel bad? I never meant for that to happen.”

“I would also come to know that all the pain of my life, for whatever reason, had to happen the way it did in order for my soul to ripen. It was out of suffering that I would develop a deep compassion for myself and others; it was out of suffering that I came to see that all people suffer, all people carry guilt and shame. It was also out of suffering that my mind finally stopped in a paralyzing state of despair, and the divine swooped in to reclaim itself.”
