Seth
Either you’re going to tell stories that spread, or you will become irrelevant.

Freedom isn't the ability to do whatever you want. It's the willingness to do whatever you want.

The most I can do is to acquaint you with the authority of your own psyche - to give you a trust in the nature of your being. For, if you trust what you are, you can never go wrong in whatever terms you use. You can fly through belief systems as a butterfly flies through back yards.
Seth
When your ideas about yourself change, so does your experience.
Seth
People claim that love is the deepest feeling, but don't you believe it. Loneliness is the most affecting of human emotions. Nothing makes life more vivid. If you wish to live in the moment, I recommend intense loneliness.
Seth
You will not understand your part within the framework of nature until you actually see yourselves in danger of tearing it apart.
Seth
Ordinary thinking and ordinary effort are almost never enough to generate leadership.
Seth
I'm not sure there's any number of Facebook likes that can replace a hug.
Seth

Seth
If you are love with the perfect, prepare to see it swept away. If you are able to dream of the impossible, it just might happen.
Seth
You create your reality. You will find this freedom by learning to look inward, and by realizing that you create the reality that you know. There are no exceptions to this rule. Your successes and your failures alike, you have yourselves created. If you would but understand, this is the truth that would make you free.
Seth
