-The common nature brings nothing that you cannot bear.
-If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. And it is in your power to wipe out this judgment now. But if anything in your own disposition gives you pain, who hinders you from correcting your opinion? And even if you are pained because your are not doing some particular thing that seems to you to be right, why do you not rather act than complain?
-The ruling faculty is invincible.
-The mind that is free from passions is a citadel.
-How then shall you possess a perpetual fountain and not a mere well? By forming yourself hourly to freedom conjoined with contentment, simplicity, and modesty.
-He who does not know for what purpose the world exists, does not know who he is, or what the world is.
-Frequently the bad are in the enjoyment of pleasure and possess the things that procure pleasure, but the good have pain for their share and the things that cause pain.
-It would be a man's happiest lot to depart from mankind without having had any taste of lying and hypocrisy and luxury and pride.
-Do not despise death, but be well content with it, since this, too, is one of those things that nature wills. For such as it is to be young and to grow old, and to increase and to reach maturity, and to have teeth and beard and grey hairs, and to beget, and to be pregnant and to bring forth, such also is dissolution.
-It is no way right to be offended with men, but it is your duty to care for them and to bear with them gently; and yet to remember that your departure will be not from men who have the same principles as yourself.
-He who does wrong does wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly acts unjustly to himself, because he makes himself bad.
-If you are able, correct by teaching those who do wrong.
-All things are the same, familiar in experience, and ephemeral in time, and worthless in matter. Everything now is just as it was in the time of those whom we have buried.
-All things are changing: and you yourself are in continuous mutation and in a manner in continuous destruction, and the whole universe, too.
-Death, is this anything to fear?
-You have endured infinite troubles through not being contended with your ruling faculty's doing the things that it is constituted by nature to do. But enough of this.
-When another blames you or hates you, or when men say anything injurious about you, approach their poor souls, penetrate within, and see what kind of men they are. You will discover that there is no reason to be concerned that these men have this or that opinion about you. You must, however, be well disposed toward them, for by nature they are friends. And the gods, too, aid them in all ways, by dreams, by signs, toward the attainment of those things on which they set a value.
-Set yourself in motion, if it is in your power, and do not look about you to see if anyone will observe it.
-You can rid yourself of many useless things among those that disturb you, for they lie entirely in your imagination.
-Loss is nothing else than change.
-Why are you disturbed? What is there new in this? What unsettles you? Is it the form of the thing? Look at it. Or is it the matter? Look at it. But besides these there is nothing. Toward the gods, then, now become at last simpler and better. It is the same whether we examine these things for a hundred years or three.
-An antidote against the stupid man: mildness.
-Where is the harm or the strangeness in the boor acting like a boor?
-What more do you want when you have done a man a service? Are you not content that you have done something comformable to your nature? Do you seek to be paid for it?

-The lesson we must learn from human relationships is accepting people for who they are without expecting our happiness to be totally dependent upon anyone.

-The signs are placed in our mind now in order to job our memories later as humans.

-The recognition class is a final review... bringing all of us together. There will be special triggers for each of these people.
-Why don't our guides just give us the answers we need on Earth? Why all this fooling around with signs to remember things? For the same reason we go to Earth without knowing everything in advance. Our soul power grows with what we discover. Sometimes our lessons get resolved pretty fast... usually not. The most interesting part of the road are the turns and it's best not to ignore the flags in our mind.
-Recognition signs.
-We were attracted to each other on Earth because inside our minds was the memory of what we were supposed to look like.
-The signs are there. There are times in my lives when I change directions because of too much thinking and analysis. Or, I do nothing for the same reasons.
-Some of our best decisions come from what we call instinct.
-My subjects say if they were to compare the moment of birth with that of death, the physical shock of being born is much greater.
-Once birth has taken place, the union of spirit and flesh has been fully solidified into a partnership. The immortal soul then becomes the seat of perception for the developing human ego.
-A major aspect of our mission on Earth as souls is to mentally survive being cut off from our real home.
-All the accounts of life after death in my case files have no scientific foundation to prove the statements of these subjects.
-We are divine but imperfect beings who exist in two worlds, material and spiritual.
-The lesson we must learn from human relationships is accepting people for who they are without expecting our happiness to be totally dependent upon anyone.
-Is it coincidence, ESP, deja vu, or synchronicity when the right time and place come together and you meet someone for the first time who will bring meaning into your life?
-The signs are placed in our mind now in order to job our memories later as humans.
What kind of signs?
Flags. Markers in the road of life. The road signs kick us into a new directions in life at certain times when something important is supposed to happen... and then we must know the signs to recognize one another, too.
-The recognition class is a final review... bringing all of us together. There will be special triggers for each of these people.
-Why don't our guides just give us the answers we need on Earth? Why all this fooling around with signs to remember things? For the same reason we go to Earth without knowing everything in advance. Our soul power grows with what we discover. Sometimes our lessons get resolved pretty fast... usually not. The most interesting part of the road are the turns and it's best not to ignore the flags in our mind.

Journey of souls by M. Newton. Quotes VIII
-When we enter the space of life selection, we are full of hope, promise, and lofty expectations. Here, souls are virtually alone, with their guides out of sight, while evaluating new life options.
-Without knowing why, most people believe their life has a plan.
-Whenever I am confused about what to do in life, I quietly sit down and think about where I have been and compare this to where I might want to go in future. The answer to the next step just comes to me from inside myself.
-During our lives all of us will experience opportunities for change which involve risk. These occasions may come at inconvenient times. We may not act upon them, but the challenge is there for us. The purpose of reincarnation is the exercise of free will. Without this ability, we would be impotent creatures indeed.
-The law of cause and effect for our actions always exists.
-We are the masters of our destiny.
-If souls choose a life where their death will be premature, they often see it in the place of life selection. I have found that souls essentially volunteer in advance for bodies who will have sudden fatal illnesses, are to be killed by someone, or come to an abrupt end of life with many others from a catastrophic event. Souls who become involved in these tragedies are not caught in the wrong place at the wrong time with a capricious God looking the other way. Every soul has a motive for the events in which it chooses to participate.
-Blueprints for the next life vary in the degree of difficulty the soul-mind sets for itself. If we just come off an easy life, making little interpersonal progress, our soul might want to choose a person in the next time cycle who will face heartache and perhaps tragedy.
-My cases show few real accidents involving body damage which don't fall under the free will of souls.
-When a soul is inside a damaged body, this choice can involve a learning path to another type of lesson.
-Sometimes one of the most important lessons is to learn to just let go of the past.
-Subjects will see his real mother again.
