Memorable Quotes

"All change occurs first in consciousness and then finds itself materializing into our reality. That's why in scripture, in Romans, it said, 'Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.' That's advice from the greatest metaphysician of all time."

"Choice is in the mind. It is in consciousness. In other words, it's like sitting in a movie theater thinking the movie is real and what you're watching on the screen, you don't like. And so in this case, for example, it's a bunch of evil people doing evil things. And you say, 'Hey, I want to stop this evil.' And your solution is to try to move the screen or yell at the people in the movie."

"Donald Trump represents anger. And there are so many people right now in the world living in hopelessness and desperation as a result of the mechanic that Constantine is describing, and they need to be pulled upward and living in anger. The vibration of anger is actually a higher frequency than hopelessness and desperation."
