Neale Donald Walsch Quotes

It’s not the body that people love, but the soul. The body is a temporary vehicle. Without the soul, the body is like a car without a driver. I see through my eyes, smell through my nose, taste through my tongue, hear through my ears, feel through my skin, think through my brain, and love through my heart. But who am I? Who is the witness, enjoyer and sufferer that activates my body?

All we are is in the soul.

The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.

Our nature is the mind. And the mind is our nature.

I am Walter, a body, but more important than the body is my spirit.

Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.

The fact is that you are not the body. The Self does not move but the world moves in it. You are only what you are.

The soul is the truth of who we are.

Whatever we call it - mind, character, soul - we like to think we possess something that is greater than the sum of our neurons and that animates us.

Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.

Only a spiritual being has awareness.

In my definition of consciousness, consciousness is the same thing as life. What wisdom traditions also call spirit.

The soul is your innermost being. The presence that you are beyond form. The consciousness that you are beyond form, that is the soul. That is who you are in essence.

There is no self.

I think that our personalities and our souls have so much - we're so much more than just blood vessels and bone and muscle.

The real things about man are not his body.

Man is not mind, he is soul.

'I Am' is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.

That is the ego which rises and sinks periodically. But you exist always. That which lies beyond the ego is consciousness - the Self.

We've all got an identity. You can't avoid it. It's what's left when you take everything else away.

Life is consciousness.

All thought of something is at the same time self-consciousness [...] At the root of all our experiences and all our reflections, we find [...] a being which immediately recognises itself, [...] and which knows its own existence, not by observation and as a given fact, nor by inference from any idea of itself, but through direct contact with that existence. Self-consciousness is the very being of mind in action.

The spirit is the true self.

Knowledge is porportionate to being... You know in virtue of what you are.
