More quotes by Elizabeth Lesser
It's not always about survival, this life we are given it's usually so much easier than that. It's about trusting the eternal life force that is flowing within us-letting that force lead the way through all of the inevitable changes we will face across the span of our time here on Earth.

What wants to live in you may be waiting...at the end of a long loneliness.
Elizabeth Lesser
May you listen to the voice within the beat even when you are tired. When you feel yourself breaking down, may you break open instead. May every experience in life be a door that opens your heart, expands your understanding and leads you to freedom.

Сertainly there are people for whom anti-depression medication has allowed them to use difficulty to wake up, and I don't deny that at all, but as usual with us human beings, we've overdone it. We are self-medicating ourselves away from the great awakening moments, and losing our coping skills and losing wake-up calls.

...approach change with an understanding of the process and an openness to the pain.

Beautiful quality that women have, which is we like to get together and gab. It's time to elevate that aspect of being a woman.
Elizabeth Lesser
If we can stay awake when our lives are changing, secrets will be revealed to us-secrets about ourselves, about the nature of life, and about the eternal source of happiness and peace that is always available, always renewable, already within us.
Elizabeth Lesser
How strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human beings is to resist change
Elizabeth Lesser
First we forgive ourselves, then we forgive others and life itself.
Elizabeth Lesser
But when I learned about the dangers of rejection or attack, I thought, it's time to change this. What if we faced any pain we had caused each other and, instead of rejection or attack, could we listen? Could we forgive? Could we merge?
Elizabeth Lesser
We don't need anymore empowered people who are all about the ego.
Elizabeth Lesser
Recognition of the harm that patriarchy has caused to people and the planet does not mean that men are wrong and women are right rather it is a call for new organizational forms and for relishing gender differences within a context of equality.
Elizabeth Lesser
I hope we have learned throughout centuries of revolution and reaction that it's really a shift in consciousness that we need. And I think there is a shift in consciousness among our human species. I think the human species is evolving, spiritually.
Elizabeth Lesser
There is no one alive who has not wanted to go back to sleep.
Elizabeth Lesser
Some people, who are deeply involved in an organized, traditional religion, find it very difficult to accept that their way isn't the only way. And that their sacred text isn't the only text and it must be taken literally.
Elizabeth Lesser
The person who takes the first step in a conflict toward the other, those are brave people.
Elizabeth Lesser
Many women hear the word feminine and feel like it's a noose around their neck. Don't hold me to a mode of behavior because I'm a woman and you think this is how a woman should act, kind of thing.
