“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
You are not just a drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in a drop.”
~ Rumi

“You are the universe expressing itself as a human for a little while. Each person’s life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.
You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!
You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

“Outwardly, I am one apple among many. Inwardly, I am the tree.
You are the big bang, the original force of the universe. You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
The real YOU is not a puppet which life pushes around. The real, deep down YOU is the whole universe.
You are the universe experiencing itself.”
~ Alan Watts

“The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
You have potential powers beyond your wildest dreams. Not only is the entire universe reflected in you, but also the power to control the universe is waiting to be used.”
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

“You are not alone as a person, you are alone as the entire universe.”
~ Mooji

“Suddenly I was thrown into this expansive amazing feeling of freedom – from myself, from my problems. I saw that I am bigger than what I do, bigger than my body. I am everything and everyone. I am no longer a fragment of the universe. I am the universe.”
~ Jim Carrey

“Though the eye is small, the consciousness which sees through it is greater and vaster than all the things which it perceives. In fact, it is so great that it includes all objects, however large or numerous, within itself. For it is not so much that you are within the cosmos as that the cosmos is within you.”
~ Meher Baba

“When we look at the ocean, we see that each wave has a beginning and an end. A wave can be compared with other waves, and we can call it more or less beautiful, higher or lower, longer lasting or less long lasting. But if we look more deeply, we see that a wave is made of water. While living the life of a wave, the wave also lives the life of water. It would be sad if the wave did not know that it is water. It would think, ‘Some day I will have to die. This period of time is my life span, and when I arrive at the shore, I will return to nonbeing.’ These notions will cause the wave fear and anguish. In the world of the wave, the world of relative truth, the wave feels happy as she swells, and she feels sad as she falls. She may think ‘I am high!’ or ‘I am low!’ and develop superiority or inferiority complexes, but when the wave touches her true nature – which is water – all of her complexes will cease, and she will transcend birth and death.
Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it is the ocean.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

“The whole universe is I-am. So whenever I say “I am choiceless, effortless, pure awareness, I am the Self”, always remember, I am not referring to Robert. I’m referring to I-am, which is pure consciousness. When I make that confession, it is all-pervading. It is omnipresence itself. Everyone of you is I-am. The whole universe is I-am.
How can you want anything when you are the whole universe?
All the answers are within you. Everything you’re looking for is within you, everything. Know who you are. You are the power. All the power of the universe is within you. All is well, exceedingly well. It has always been well, it will always be well.
I want to let you in on a little secret. There are no problems. There never were any problems, there are no problems today, and there will never be any problems. The reality in back of the universe is pure awareness. It has no problems. And you are That.”
~ Robert Adams
