429 Danielle LaPorte | Forgiveness: Heart Centered Healing Wisdom To Build Resiliency

The question has gone from, 'How do you want to feel'? to 'What do you want to embody?' because feelings really come from the unconscious - from the subconscious. We want to embrace those feelings; we don't want to overidentify with the feelings because we are not our feelings. Your happiness, or your sadness, or your sorrow cannot take you out of the game of enlightenment... ...I am not my misery; I am a soul having this experience and these clouds called emotions are coming and going. I'm going to look at them and love them but I'm not going to be the rain cloud; I'm going to be the sky. - Danielle LaPorte

Power Quotes From The Show Knowing God's Perfect Love

"My prayer to God now is, 'I want to know your perfect love and I want to be that perfect love.' To do that, first, you have to believe that perfect love exists and that it's possible. I don't think you have to believe that you're worthy. Does perfect love exist? I think conceptually we all believe it does but does it exist for you? If it exists for you can everyone else wake up to it existing? That's my current shift with God and creation; that I am perfectly loved." - Danielle LaPorte

Humanity's Fantastic Threshold of Awakening

"I’m not trying to save the world anymore. Not because I think that my actions don’t matter—every action by every one of us counts. And I’m not giving up on the world because I believe it’s a lost cause—we’re at a fantastic threshold of awakening.⁣⁠" - Danielle LaPorte

Exploring Sacred Anger

"The energy of the heart is inclusive; so, anger is only sacred if it is including the benefits of others. So, if it is vengeance to right the wrong and has an 'eye for an eye' dynamic, it's not sacred; it's profane. If your anger's energy is on behalf of humanity and it helps bring justice with something like clean drinking water, all children are protected, and everyone has medical freedom - that is sacred anger. If your attitude is, 'You gotta go down so that I feel justified,' that is not sacred." - Danielle LaPorte
