Soul Journey

The quotes here are quotes I have collected over the past year or so, they have been selected to express the experience of the last few months. My own words at this time will not convey that which has been in process. These words resonate, inspire, enlighten, and shine life light on the journey past, present, and into the future.

“We must remember that REAL change takes time. Growers are inchworms. Lasting transformation is an incremental process, one “soulstep” at a time. We can have all the peak experiences we want but the real work happens between the peaks, while laying down and integrating on the valley floor. This may frustrate us, but it is the only way to craft an awareness that is authentic and sustainable. Divine perspiration…” Jeff Brown

 

 

“Although the journey home is often difficult, its also wondrous. On the materialistic treasure hunt, satisfactions are fleeting. On the inner treasure hunt, your satisfaction builds. It’s so beautiful to touch a new plateau of awareness, to view your self with a broadened lens, to shape your self with your own two hands. Every time I unravel a piece of my karmic thread, I feel the God-self come a little bit closer.. ” Jeff Brown

“The art form of the Soulshaping journey is knowing when to assert, & when to surrender. There are times when utilizing our will is perfect in order to excavate our path from the deep within, but there are also times when glimpses of path float to the surface only when we’re in a receptive state. Some shaping happens through our own efforts, some happens when we lay back & let the universe do the shaping for us.” Jeff Brown

 

“With respect to path, I feel the primary goal is to identify our unique soul-scriptures, to walk in our own two shoes & no one else’s. Not to say that every moment will be blissful-we still have to deal with the world etc- but to reach the stage where we know that we are where we are supposed to be on our Soulshaping journeys. Not where someone else told us to be, but our own true-path. This is what I wish for us.” Jeff Brown

 

“When you walk through the gateway of your sacred purpose, you walk into yourself. Blessingly buffered from the madness of the world, your purpose filters out those relationships and energies that undermine your expansion. Infused with vitality and a clarified focus, new pathways of possibility appear where before there were obstacles. Life still has its challenges, but you interface with them differently, coated in an authenticity of purpose that sees through the veils to what really matters. The rivers of essence rise up to meet you, carrying you from one wave of expansion to another…” (Soulshaping) Jeff Brown

 

“Going with the flow” means listening to your inner guidance ~ not sitting back, waiting and doing nothing. In order for us to get in touch with our inner guidance we need to spend time in meditation stilling the mind. When the mind is overactive, it is impossible to receive clarity. 15 minutes of stillness ~ everyday ~ will open up the tubes and channels to your higher self and open up the “flow” of communication from your higher wisdom. In order to go with the flow, you must first be in the flow.” ~ Sabrina

 

“God, the supreme artist, uses our life for the creation of art. We are the instruments through which the force of life expresses itself. We express our art in everything we say, everything we feel, and everything we do. The creation is ongoing, it is endless, it is happening in every moment.” ~ Don Miguel Ruiz

The journey is always full, it is our perspective that gives in life, shares its meaning. I am grateful for the journey, I am grateful for my friends and followers who kept silent while still asking… I am Love!

  1. I especially love this phrase “divine perspiration” and the very last picture above the quote by Don Miguel Ruiz. As I read each quote, I kept thinking to myself that I would love to have one for each day with a picture and of course had the ultimate original idea that you should do a calendar book with your beautiful photos and these wonderful words of wisdom that speak so clearly to my soul. Thank you.

    1. Barbara,

      I love the phrase too! “divine perspiration”! the idea of a book has been coming up for me again and again, So I will give me attention to my intention to get that created.

  2. You have done a good job by bringing the pictures of different kinds of Mushrooms, which normally people ignore. They too have power for feeding, medicine, and spirituality too.

    1. Wow, Thank you for your comments. When I began seeing these or our walks I just knew I had to find a way to photograph them and offer them the light of day, so to speak.

  3. Jeff, the quiet of the forest floor teaches so many lessons along with these insightful quotes. This one particularly spoke to me right now: Some shaping happens through our own efforts, some happens when we lay back & let the universe do the shaping for us. It reinforces that it’s not an either-or situation. We can both act and surrender as the moment (the Universe, God, awareness) directs. Namaste. Thank you for these words and beautiful pictures!

  4. Every last one of your photos here is stunning, Jeff! I agree with Laurie, reading the inspiring quotes between the exquisite images made me feel like I was in a sanctuary, too. Thank you for helping me to reach “a new plateau of awareness” this morning.
