“The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.”

“Conflict is necessary for growth. But too often conflict becomes a haven for the soul. Until one day, the soul can no longer free itself. In real growth the soul learns to fly rather than having the ego inflated with praise from accomplishments as if it were a balloon. Only because it buys time, do we develop a strong and protective ego. This is the early stage in the soul’s evolution, until such time when the soul hatches out of its shell, which is the ego, into a new world in which there is incomparable beauty.”

““A bad day for your ego is a great day for your soul.””

“They never opened the door which leads to the soul.”

“Humility consists of knowing that in this world the whole soul, not only what we term the ego in its totality, but also the supernatural part of the soul, which is God present in it, is subject to time and to the vicissitudes of change.”

“It's very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos.”

“The idea of ego often defeats all human efforts to achieve happiness. Will we eventually come to peace of heart and mind? Can we let go of the ego to return to the purity of the soul? And the blessings look like twinkling stars in the sky. Blessed are the great souls who are able to overcome the shallowness of the mind and the pride of the soul.”

“One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen.”

“Now understand the deepest essence of your soul, what 'soul' is. Soul is a being that can be beheld by God and by which, again, God can be beheld. Soul is also a being that wishes to content God … The soul is a bottomless abyss in which God suffices to himself; and his own self-sufficiency ever finds fruition to the full in this soul, as the soul, for its part, ever does in him. Soul is a way for the passage of God from his depths to his liberty; and God is a way for the passage of the soul into its liberty, that is, into his inmost depths, which cannot be touched except by the soul's abyss.”

“All that the conscious ego can do is to formulate wishes, which are then carried out by forces which it controls very little and understands not at all.”
