More quotes by Elizabeth Lesser
We don't need anymore empowered people who are all about the ego.
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.

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.

I love this life, because I am a human being and it sure would be nice, I think, to preserve it. But I don't even know if that's true, because God's mind is huge, and I don't really know what he's thinking.I can only do what I do with a spirit of humor, and faith and give the controls over to something else.
Elizabeth Lesser
It's like you trade the virility of the body for the agility of the spirirt.

Elizabeth Lesser
I'm very committed to my family and my town. My biggest local commitment are my children, my husband, my home and my grandchildren.
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
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 think it's better that people actually are saying what they feel. Especially, people are saying, I'm not heard. I don't have a voice in America.
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.
Elizabeth Lesser
I actually don't think we're more divided than we were. I think it's more evident. It's more evident because of the internet.
Elizabeth Lesser
When we slow down, quiet the mind, and allow ourselves to feel hungry for something that we do not understand, we are dipping into the abundant well of spiritual longing.
Elizabeth Lesser
I can only do what I do with a spirit of humor, and faith and give the controls over to something else.

First we love within, then we love the world.
