72 spiritual quotes by poet and philosopher Michael Bogild

Are you really helpfully criticizing him (or her) or rather unloading old and unrecognized inner hurt?
The spiritual game-changer : when you finally and internally realize that you somehow, if not directly desire, then at least NEED your own hurt and sorrow, or rather, your inner ego does in order to keep its dysfunctions going.
The ego will literally tell you that love can be a sort of loss. How mad is that? To have you believe that a life of kindness and charity will actually hurt your happiness?

How very strange that it should take years and years for something we know to be true to finally and truly sink into our minds, hearts, and souls. Why does the total assimilation of a particular reality not occur instantly at the very moment of our being aware of it? What inside of us creates this colossal separation between the inner awareness and the actual psychological change?
Study with a brutal honesty what you actually really are and not what you wish you were nor what others believe you to be. Look inside — as far as you can — and then write day by day unto a journal everything you discover about yourself.

Don’t angrily criticize where you can lovingly educate.
The human intelligence is like a sharp knife, exceedingly great at dissecting information, but also a terrible instrument by which we blindly cut ourselves to pieces.
What would the universe be without connection, communication, and cooperation? It would be no universe at all I tell you. Love…love is the glue that holds everything together.
Why does the ego fear the total surrender into love and kindness? Because it absolutely dissolves the delusion of the separate and isolated self. Love is a holistic act, love is a wide embrace of the universe, and therefore must be feared by the limited and limiting ego.
The human ego worships isolation and separation through the mostly unconscious mental habits of endless comparisons, value judgments, discriminations, and favoritisms.
Exaggeration and minimalization are the main tools and symptoms of the escapist ego. It can only survive and thrive through dramatic and biased distortions of reality.

In being loving you teach others to be loving. The positive effect of kindness and compassion in this world is beyond immense.
