Hermann Hesse Quotes

The authentic self is the best part of a human being. It's the part of you that already cares, that is already passionate about evolution. When your authentic self miraculously awakens and becomes stronger than your ego, then you will truly begin to make a difference in this world. You will literally enter into a partnership with the creative principle.

If you're getting your guidance about who you are and what to do with your life only from the external world, then by definition you'll be led away from your authentic truth. Your authentic truth isn't in the material world. It's counterintuitive, but you have more power in the world when you know you're not of it.

Realize thy Simple Self, Embrace thy Original Nature.

The real rub is finding that authentic self and it's not something that's going to come to you overnight.

Unraveling external selves and coming home to our real identity is the true meaning of soul work.

Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.

I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.

It is only in solitude that I ever find my own core.

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.

When I wrote Living in the Light, I wanted to share about how I live my own life and to encourage people to tap into their own inner wisdom.

Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.

Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.

Before you can follow your own drummer, you have to hear the drummer.

The key is within each of us. No instructions come with it.

Enlightenment is the key to everything, and it is the key to intimacy, because it is the goal of true authenticity.

My music is the spiritual expression of what I am - my faith, my knowledge, my being.

What you are looking for is within you

Focus your mind on what your Highest Self chooses to be.

I can tell you that what you're looking for is already inside you.

You can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.
