“Do not tell others about God’s compassion. Do not preach your religion or tout your alliance with God. Be compassion. Be forgiveness. Be love and kindness and there is no need to convince anyone of anything, because a greater power is flowing through you, one which needs no endorsement and is beyond contestation.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Truth cannot be labeled, defined, or packaged into a nice little ideology or religion. When you add structure to truth it is no longer truth. It is a contaminated thing that was once truth. The same is with you. When you use labels to define yourself, to feel safe, or to feel better about your life, you are actually […]
“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
“Thoroughly unprepared, we take the step into the afternoon of life. Worse still, we take this step with the false presupposition that our truths and our ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live in the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning, for what was great in the morning will be little at evening and what in the morning was true, at evening will have become a lie.” -C.G. Jung
“There exists a behavior born of the fear of greatness, viral in a crowd, and the source of humanity’s greatest insecurity – the total surrender of thought to an organization, religion, or charismatic voice.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Those that transform the world do not attempt to convince humanity of ideologies with check lists and patriarchs, or any ideology for that matter. They do not preach what is popular, nor do they encourage regurgitated, mechanized living. They inspire, by example, others to live fresh, new visions of their lives. Have courage and transform the world. Break the status quo. Obtain the certainty that only comes from risking every belief you are sure of and feel the ethereal integrity of inner freedom.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Variability is to quantum physics as certainty is to organized religion.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Inner self-reliance means you have a strong sense of who you are without titles, without achievements, without family, social groups, or religion. Inner self-reliance is who you are without all of these things, which is (ironically) what you are meant to be with them.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“Religion, ideologies, even gurus, are only as beneficial to the inevitable evolution of the human psyche as they influence a person to think for him/herself.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeno.com
“From birth to death your beliefs will change. Hardship, loss, and pain will shape them. But why not observe? Use the brilliant faculties given you to discover each new belief with joy, excitement, and within the wonder of doubt.” -Amy Larson, AmyJalapeño.com
