Essence Quotes

“One must be present, fully and deeply, in the garden of the now. In this state of presence, the ego’s chatter can be heard, acknowledged, and understood for what it is – not the entirety of our being, but a part of our human experience. It is in this mindful acknowledgment that the ego is gently guided to take its rightful place as a servant to the essence, no longer the master of our destinies.”
― Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

“In our being, where the tangible meets the intangible, there lies a duality as ancient as time itself - the ego and the essence. These twin forces, ever-present and perpetually intertwined, are the sun and moon of our inner universe, each holding sway over the landscape of our spirit in a dance as old as the stars.”
― Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

“I am the essence, the unwavering light within. A constant, unfiltered sun, burning at the core of our being. Untouched by the transient world, I am the eternal truth in your heart, the perpetual whisper of your authentic self.”

“I have seen, there,
In the moonlit space of self, where the ego glides,
Its silvery essence, a mirror upon life’s tides.
Shaped by the ebb and flow of journey’s dance,
Reflecting beliefs, in life’s intricate, ever-changing stance.

This luminary, a learned guide in identity’s play,
Casts shadows, illusions in its luminous display.
A sculptor, artful, in societal norms it trusts,
Chiseling character with life’s whims and cultural dust.

The ego, in its carnival, spins tales so keen,
Crafting who we ought to be in expectations unseen.
In costumes of roles and societal dreams it dresses,
Creating our outward selves in myriad, intricate presses.

In stark contrast, behold the inner sun, our essence so bright,
A steadfast flame, in the core of our being, burning with pure light.
Unfiltered, unwavering, unlike the moon’s fickle gleam,
A constant force, our authentic self, a deep, untouched stream.

This essence, our unchanging truth, in the heart it resides,
A whisper of eternity, beyond masks, where true self abides.
Beyond roles, beyond transient ego’s elaborate dance,
Lies this truth, unswayed by the external world’s fleeting glance.

In the quest for self, twixt these luminaries, discernment is key,
Traversing the self’s tangle, understanding what must be.
Though ego’s voice echoes loud, in desires and fears it plays,
It’s the essence’s silent light that guides through life’s stormy bays.

Through recognition, understanding, transformation’s alchemy begins,
Turning life unexamined into enlightened existence’s wins.
A celestial voyage, within us, between sun and moon’s embrace,
Ego teaches, grows us, in our worldly place.

The essence, radiant and wise, to eternity connects,
Offering authenticity, a path that perfects.
Yin and yang, in our existence, they intertwine,
In their dance, our soul’s rhythm, in harmony, divine.

In moon’s reflection and sun’s light, a balance we find,
Understanding their interplay, the rhythm of humankind.”
― Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

Moon: “And I, the ego, mirror the silver luminescence of experience. Shaped by the ebb and flow of life’s tides, I reflect the lessons, beliefs, and identities formed through your journey.

Sun: “Unlike you, who waxes and wanes, I am a perpetual beacon. I am solid, the silent guide amidst the storms of life, illuminating the path to enlightenment. I am the light that shines beyond all darkness, the eternal truth within.”

Moon: “True, I may dance in shadows, casting illusions, but through my reflective glow, I bring lessons, growth, and an understanding of our place in the material world. My phases are a reminder of life’s impermanence and the transformative power of introspection and self-inquiry.”

Sun: “It is in recognizing our dual nature that the process of transformation begins. From the unexamined to the enlightened existence, I offer wisdom, authenticity, and a connection to the eternal. Understanding the self is the key to liberation.”

“In the garden of self, the wise gardener must guide,
Sun and shade, water and earth, in harmony reside.
Just as plants seek balance in nature’s embrace,
Ego and essence together find their place.

Ensures neither ego nor essence reigns supreme, but near.
In this journey of the soul’s own making,
Both light and shadow partake in awakening.”
― Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

“To cultivate harmony between ego and essence is to walk the middle path, a path of balance and unity, where the light of the essence illuminates the shadows cast by the ego, and the ego, in turn, grounds us in the physical world we inhabit. This is the path of true self-mastery, a journey that leads to the inner sanctum of peace and the outer expression of our highest potential. It is in this sacred alignment that we find our true selves, not as fragmented beings of light and shadow, but as whole, integrated beings, dancing in the eternal light of harmony.”

― Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

“In your life too, the interplay of ego and essence is at work,
Shadow and light are part of your nature.
In your heart, there is that duality.
Pride and deep truth, are together, in you.

In your soul, the story of you, as the hero, is softly spun,
Witness even in mundane acts, grandeur’s seeds are sown.
Your daily deeds, though small, are never done,
In every breath, your true, victorious self is shown.

At times unseen in day’s bright, blinding light,
You shine with fierce resolve past night’s embrace,
Is this a humble life – in silence’s might?
Perhaps. Though, maybe, you calmly shape the world, and time, and space.”
― Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

“To align the ego with the essence, one must first recognize their distinct voices. The ego, often loud and insistent, speaks in tones of desire and doubt, pride and prejudice, shaped by the external world and its ceaseless demands. The essence, on the other hand, whispers in the language of intuition and inner truth, a language as old as the universe itself, resonating with the frequencies of love, compassion, and authenticity.”
― Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

― Shahid Hussain Raja

“All we see is an "illusion" but a beautiful, meaningful, and purposeful illusion, no less real and realistic if it were the other way. The most important thing is the existence and rejuvenation of the ultimate, primordial immaterial essence. Transformation of this essence and power (supreme primary quality), similar from a human point of view to "alchemy," does not undermine the value and reality of matter and the Universe. In this sense, we believe that the ultimate immaterial Being is omnipotent and capable of creating and recreating itself through different modes of transformation. The most important transformation is the transformation of the essence into existence.”
― Dejan Stojanovic, ABSOLUTE

“What is this?” Lan asked.
“A sandwich. How’s the coffee?”
Lan sipped the coffee. She paused. Of course she knew what coffee was.
But she had never tasted Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed milk.
Lan looked about her at the happy customers. They seemed so different
from the ones who were now coming to Starrgate. Why was this different
from the donuts at the shop? And why did sipping a sweet Vietnamese coffee
—why did that make her heart skip?
A sandwich that is more than a sandwich. Coffee that is more than coffee.”
― Ryka Aoki, Light from Uncommon Stars

“Releasing the sigh at night, the flower fields have woken to life again. This is how, deserts release the cry and grow desert roses.”
