John Welwood Quotes About Awareness

• La conciencia nacida del amor es la única fuerza que puede traer la curación y la renovación. Por amor a otra persona, estamos más dispuestos a dejar que nuestras viejas identidades se marchiten y caigan, y a entrar en una noche oscura del alma, para poder permanecer desnudos una vez más en presencia del gran misterio que yace en el núcleo de nuestro ser. Así es como el amor nos hace madurar: calentándonos por dentro, inspirándonos a salir de nuestro caparazón e iluminando nuestro camino a través del oscuro pasaje hacia un nuevo nacimiento.

  Love, Lying, Fall

• I would define love very simply: as a potent blend of openness and warmth, which allows us to make real contact, to take delight in and appreciate, and to be at one with--our selves, others, and life itself. Openness--the heart's pure, unconditional yes--is love's essence. And warmth is love's basic expression, arising as a natural extension of this yes--the desire to reach out and touch, connect with, and nourish what we love.

  Real, Corazón, Expresión

• Great love -- the kind that illumines and transforms us -- always includes a keen awareness of limitation as well. Though love may inspire us to expand and develop in new ways, we can never be all things to the one we love, or someone other than who we are. Yet once accepted, limitation also helps us develop essential qualities, such as patience, determination, compassion, and humor. When love comes down to earth -- bringing to light those dark corners we would prefer to ignore, encompassing all the different parts of who we are -- it gains depth and power.
