Donna Goddard quotes about wisdom
There is a depth to life which only comes from our connection to other people. However, we have to find it without becoming a prisoner.
— Donna Goddard, Waldmeer

— Donna Goddard, Waldmeer
The question is: do you want suffering or do you want peace? It’s that simple.
— Donna Goddard, Waldmeer
Relationships are used by the darkness to keep people revolving around the ego’s demands. For a moment, people see the light of the divine in each other. They run to it and then quickly forget the light they once saw as their fears reclaim their consciousness. Thus begins the ongoing battle to protect one’s own ‘rights’, in case they be forgotten or betrayed. The tally of what is owed is counted, the guilt of perceived wrong doings is cast upon the other, one’s freedom must be paid as the price for ‘love’, and it is only in short periods of peace when all of this is forgotten. Those moments are the precious windows of the Soul.
— Donna Goddard, Waldmeer

If we become aware that someone is sending thoughts of ill will in our direction, we do not argue with the apparent reality of malice. To do so would give it more substance. We remove the personal sense of ourself and the other person.
— Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion
We may talk lightly but never carelessly. We keep at bay the flow of common, ignorant thought which runs its damaging course through the pathways of ordinary human conversation.

We do not engage in idle or intentional gossip which undermines someone else’s integrity or which spreads the seeds of fear by talking unthinkingly about illness, disasters, and all the other fears which run rampant in the world.
— Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion
The path is paved with consistent, conscious mental and spiritual alertness and the gradual growth of goodness in our heart and clarity in our mind. We are awake. If we keep trying to understand, we will understand. If we keep telling ourselves that we are loved by Life and if we keep looking for evidence of that love, we will find it.
— Donna Goddard, Love’s Longing
It could be said that we become so much a stranger that we disappear and find ourselves reborn in the midst of humanity which is quite a paradox.
— Donna Goddard, Love’s Longing
It is not possible to be seduced by the lure of ego-gratification or intimidated by the tyranny of imposters when we know that we are as the angels. We are loved beyond comprehension. So, we must claim our rightful inheritance and live with the confidence of protection.
— Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion
A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others’ approval nor rejects others’ presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.
— Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion
Faith changes us – faith in something intrinsically good, something other than ourselves, something bigger than ourselves.
— Donna Goddard
More than nakedness, for there is no cover to take.The fire in your eyesis ringed with water; wide and cool.We are far from the brutal place, but you do not think so.You take my hand and disappear like you were never there, except that I am now somewhere else.
— Donna Goddard, Love’s Longing
Somewhere along the way, there develops within the soul a yearning that can no longer be ignored, a craving for the great love affair. We feel it drawing ever closer. It is the greatest of them all. It cannot fail. It is all consuming. It is incomparable. It is the love affair with our own true nature and the source from which it comes. The desire is in all of us but, more often than not, it is ignored for other interests. We wrestle with each interest, trying to make it work, growing with each adventure until the light has grown bright enough for us to reach for it.
— Donna Goddard, Love’s Longing
We love with all our heart, in every way that we can love but the heart is not burdened. We learn to keep it light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. It waits on Life to give instructions. It sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. It stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. It lets go when death and seeming endings have left their irrefutable mark. It moves. It heals. It hopes. It allows Life to be lived in the safe, fertile, and still inner space where it grows stronger and more compelling every day.
— Donna Goddard, Love’s Longing
Whenever possible, choose peace.

Every wonderful quality “in” someone is waiting to be recognized in all of life’s great symphony.
— Donna Goddard
Being liked or not, having company or not, being understood or not, being acknowledged or not are not issues of concern on the spiritual path.
— Donna Goddard
If love isn’t there, nothing will grow. If it is, there is always hope and it will win in the end. Love is vital and sacrosanct.
— Donna Goddard
We are spiritual beings – indestructible, immaterial and safe.

We love with all our heart but we also keep our heart light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. It waits on life to give instructions. It sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. It stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. It lets go when endings have left their irrefutable mark. It moves. It heals. It hopes.

It is warmer here. Can you see the light? Trust it. It is safe. It has lived a long time. It has seen much more than you. You fight a demon that you once knew but the demon is already slain. And from the corner of your eye you will see the scattered, sacred fire reform again. Settle, settle. Peace, peace
— Donna Goddard, Love’s Longing
