More quotes by Elizabeth Lesser
If we do not suffer a loss all the way to the end, it will wait for us. It won’t just dissipate and disappear. Rather, it will fester, and we will experience its sorrow later, in stranger forms.
Elizabeth Lesser
Each one of us regardless of our situation, is in our search of our most authentic, vital, generous and wise self.
Elizabeth Lesser
Talking to each other instead of talking about each other is not some kind of nicey-nice (ph) idea. It's the difference between societies falling apart and societies getting something wonderful done.
Elizabeth Lesser
Spirituality is a brave search for the truth about existence, fearlessly peering into the mysterious nature of life.
Elizabeth Lesser
Even if your difficult time comes at you out of the blue - like cancer - even those times, opens your heart to the magic and power of life, and gives you this inner commitment to live every moment.
Elizabeth Lesser
I actually don't think we're more divided than we were.
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
There is no one alive who has not wanted to go back to sleep.
Elizabeth Lesser
Learn respect for the feeling function: Become aware of and undo some of your (improper) cultural training so that you grant the moods and messages of the heart the same respect that you give the thoughts and ideas of the mind.
Elizabeth Lesser
What wants to live in you may be waiting...at the end of a long loneliness.
Elizabeth Lesser
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.
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.
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
As humans try to evolve out of greed, let's put aside some wild places, protected lands, protected farms, things like that, since we may not evolve fast enough to protect nature.
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'm deeply disturbed by the ways in which all of our cultures are demonizing the other. This is why I'm launching a new initiative, and it's to help all of us, myself included, to counteract the tendency to otherize.
