• You have within yourself the answer to every question you propose – if you only knew how to look for it. In the Land of the spirit, you cannot walk by the light of someone else’s lamp. You want to borrow mine. I’d rather teach you how to make your own. Anthony de Mello

• Enlightenment is not the process of learning ‘new’ information. It is the process of ‘reminding’ ourselves that the answers are already ‘within our consciousness’. All knowledge, all energy, all information is within us, not outside of us. it always has been and always will be. Eric Allen
• Pretend that you’re 99 years old, very wise and in perfect health. Answer the following questions in your journal: What would you have me know? What should I concentrate on in the coming days and years? What things could I do or experience that would have the most positive impact on my life? Sandy Grason
• If you are obsessively active, please at least pause to ask yourself why and to listen for the answer from the still, quiet voice alive and well within you. I don’t have an answer for the hurry sickness afflicting our society and our souls. But I do trust that the how-to-stop-it is within you, and you can change your pace if you want to. Sue Thoele
• Awaken intuition. Reflect on the fact that the perfect answers and solutions exist within you. State clearly what it is that you wish your subconscious to bring to you. Repeat confidently “My subconscious is now bringing me…” Relax and fill your mind with faith and expectancy that the right answers will come. Then listen to your feelings and hunches and “inner voice.” John Kehoe
• Good judgement comes when your logical and rational thoughts and ideas are supported by a gut reaction that the decision “feels right”, and you can live comfortably with the consequences of your action. Inner wisdom goes even further because the decision not only feels right, but it also fits in with our values and beliefs. Something deep inside you can answer, “Yes!” Dr Barbara Killinger
• There is a wise being living inside of you. It is your intuitive self. Focus your awareness into a deep place in your body, a place where your “gut feelings” reside. You can communicate with it by silently talking to it, making requests, or asking questions. Then relax, don’t think too hard with your mind, and be open to receiving answers. They are usually very simple and relate to the present moment, not the past or the future, and they feel right. Shakti Gawain
• If none of your role models provide the answer, then it is time to go within and ask yourself, “What would make me happy?” In other words, let your feelings guide you. This doesn’t work well if you focus narrowly on your personal needs. I am not talking about selfishness or self-interest. When I ask, What will make you happy?, I mean, What way of loving others feels right for you? Choose a way of loving that makes you happy, and your efforts will be play rather than work. Bernie Siegel

…deep in your heart

• The heart holds answers the brain refuses to see. Rob Kall
• If you observe well, your own heart will answer. R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz
• Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being… Rainer Maria Rilke
• When it comes to forks in the road, your heart always knows the answer, not your mind. Marie Forleo
• And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny. Lauryn Hill
• There is a place deep inside every single on of our hearts that knows all the answers to our biggest questions. Rohit Sharma
• I know the answer! The answer lies within the heart of all mankind! The answer is twelve? I think I’m in the wrong building. Charles M. Schulz
• We wander, question. But the answer waits in each separate heart – the answer of our own identity and the way by which we can master loneliness and feel that at last we belong. Carson McCullers
• I trust so much in the power of the heart and the soul; I know that the answer to what we need to do next is in our own hearts. All we have to do is listen, then take that one step further and trust what we hear. We will be taught what we need to learn. Melody Beattie
• Only the heart knows the correct answer. Most people think the heart is mushy and sentimental. But it’s not. The heart is intuitive; it’s holistic, it’s contextual, it’s relational. It doesn’t have a win-lose orientation. It taps into the cosmic computer – the field of pure potentiality, pure knowledge, and infinite organizing power – and takes everything into account. At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought. Deepak Chopra
