“We are conditioned from birth to think and feel according to the psychological distortion of those before us, to take another’s word as our own without question, to follow the emotions of the masses. This shapes a narrow scope of the universe, squeezing life of passion and enthusiasm. The only way out of such an […]
“Some of the most extraordinary moments can be devalued and stained by feelings of shame and unworthiness – thought patters that spiral you into an existence of limitations. You don’t even realize you are doing it, and you think because you are exerting a tremendous amount of effort to make things work, you are on […]
“Anyone who seeks to be a leader should not be one, because those who want to lead must have a continual flow of people they consider less than. Whereas a true leader, a good teacher, an excellent mentor desires and encourages only the spiritual, psychological, and emotional independence of those who choose to follow them.” […]
“Every authority, mentor, guru, or spiritual leader who has your best interest in mind persuades you to be your own.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There is no whole-hearted, committed relationship without each party having a clear sense of inner freedom and appreciation for the individuality and differences of their beloved. All other forms of duty are a devotion to varying degrees of misery.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There are more possibilities than you can imagine, more solutions than you are presently aware of. The only thing between you and mental, emotional, and spiritual freedom is your insistence on what you already know.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com

“The key to inner freedom is to not latch on to any person, thing, or idea that can answer what you cannot right now. There are no plausible stories for the unanswerable. There are no real endings containing ‘just because’ or ‘it’s God’s will,’ etc. The way to inner freedom is to feel comfortable with the unknown, with uncertainty, and to not fill in those spaces with stories and assumptions and fairy-tales and then call them reality. You will never know all of the answers. Never, ever, as long as you are human will that happen.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“There is an opportunity for you to grow deeply, to make more room in order to feel a deeper love, and it is blocked by your judgement of a situation or another person. Rash judgment is the protector of pain and fear and ego. This is the gateway to freedom from those things: when you approach a person or situation that has brought you misunderstanding or pain, pretend you’ve never looked upon them before. Practice setting aside your preconceived notions of how the encounter will turn out and the opportunity for joy and depth will light up your mind.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
