Intuition, psychic knowing, fruits of the spirit - Know Your Soul:
Edgar Cayce, HH Dalai Lama, Rumi
"Keep it [your
soul] then in patience, in love, in gentleness, in kindness . . .
For these are indeed
the fruits of the spirit . . .
And remember, a
kindness sometimes consists in denying as well as granting those activities in
associations with thy fellow man."

Peace of mind; His Holiness the Dalai Lama
“An affectionate
disposition not only calms the mind, it’s good for our physical well-being too.
On the other hand, hatred, jealousy and fear disturb our peace of mind, they
make us agitated physically and mentally. Such agitation is disturbing, which
shows that the need for peace of mind is in our blood.”
"The kind of
behaviour that really is spiritual practice consists of refraining from falsehood
and abiding by the truth, neither humiliating nor mocking others, being humble,
and having a good heart and helping others" ~ HH Dalai Lama
"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher" ~
Dalai Lama
"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you" ~ Rumi

Falling Below And Rising Above Thought - Eckhart Tolle
“When you are very tired, you may become more peaceful, more relaxed, than in
your usual state.
This is because
thinking is subsiding, and so you can’t remember your mind-made problematic
self anymore.
You are moving
toward sleep.
When you drink
alcohol or take certain drugs (provided they don’t trigger your
pain-body), you may also feel more relaxed, more carefree, and perhaps
more alive for a while.
You may start
singing and dancing, which since ancient times are expressions of the joy
of life.
Because you are
less burdened by your mind, you can glimpse the joy of Being.
Perhaps this is
the reason alcohol is also called “spirit.” But there is a high price to
pay: unconsciousness.
Instead of rising
above thought, you have fallen below it.
A few more drinks,
and you will have regressed to the vegetable realm.
Space consciousness
has little to do with being “spaced out.”
Both states are
beyond thought.
This they have in
common.
The fundamental
difference, however, is that in the former, you rise above thought; in the
latter, you fall below it.
One is the next step
in the evolution of human consciousness, the other a regression to a stage
we left behind eons ago.'
'If you are not
spending all of your waking life in discontent, worry, anxiety,
depression, despair, or consumed by other negative states;
if you are able
to enjoy simple things like listening to the sound of the rain or the
wind;
if you can see the beauty of clouds moving across the sky or be
alone at times without feeling lonely or needing the mental stimulus of
entertainment;
if you find yourself treating a complete stranger
with heartfelt kindness without wanting anything from him or her . . .
it means that a
space has opened up, no matter how briefly, in the otherwise incessant
stream of thinking that is the human mind.
When this happens,
there is a sense of well-being, of alive peace, even though it may be
subtle.'
'The intensity will
vary from a perhaps barely noticeable background sense of contentment to
what the ancient sages of India called ananda—the bliss of Being.
Because you have
been conditioned to pay attention only to form, you are probably not aware
of it except indirectly.
For example, there
is a common element in the ability to see beauty, to appreciate simple
things, to enjoy your own company, or to relate to other people with
loving kindness.
This common
element is a sense of contentment, peace, and aliveness that is the
invisible background without which these experiences would not be possible.”
