“Surrendering to God means letting go of attachments to outcomes, but it doesn’t mean that while God is taking care of the world outside of you so to speak, you are spending your time sitting on the couch watching sit-coms. It means that when you leave the outer circumstances to God; you will become sincerely concerned with what happens on the inside. It’s a time of integration and understanding of wisdom. Surrender is not passive at all” ~Maria Erving
“Awareness of our masculine and feminine energies is healthy – too much masculine energy can be aggressive and controlling while too much female energy which is attractive and receptive can become lazy and passive. To go with the flow of our own energies means balancing them so that the creative force can have a healthy and positive outlet. Life goes in ebbs and flows and thus the energy of creation: honoring both our masculine and feminine side is what brings us staying personal power!” ~Maria Erving
“Serious spiritual practice is more than serene walks in the woods and lit candles and incense. You have to be committed. You have to be willing to enter into your own darkness and transcend it” ~Maria Erving
“The time in between the old you, and the new you, you will have to spend some time in a space in between, and that place can be terrifying if you don’t have faith. To embrace that space completely, and give yourself time off of everything is vital. Non-interference and basically letting life have its way with you” ~Maria Erving
“I think too many people hold on to rigid beliefs that only keeps them stuck. Whatever we believe, if we don’t keep our minds open to the possibility of things being the total opposite, in my mind that is rigid and just plain foolish” ~Maria Erving
“When we grow, our current belief systems will be replaced with new “truths”, and as long as we understand that there is no “ultimate Truth” (like “this is It”-mentality) the journey gets much more interesting. What is “true” to me now, won’t be next year because I will have evolved even more by then, and my path is not the same as yours” ~Maria Erving
“Make yourself useful and stir the pot of mass-consciousness. Your opinion will only provoke those who’s belief is weak. Why would anything bother us if we really believed? Because it stirs up the doubt within that we didn’t even know we had. Instead of becoming defensive we could look at it as an opportunity for growth and open ourselves up to just listen to the other person – and not hold on to our rigid beliefs. No one holds the ultimate Truth” ~Maria Erving
“God didn’t give us our abilities and unique talents for selfish purposes. They were given to benefit other people just as others were given their abilities for our benefit. We are all here for each other. That’s why it’s so important to recognize what you came here for and take action in order to bring it forth. People are waiting for you to share what you came here to share!” ~Maria Erving
“Success is determined by what our Soul wants. All else is just a rat race, a mediocre state of mind regardless the amount of money we may have. If it is from ego we will never be satisfied, and there will never be enough, always straining and struggling for more, more, more. Right action comes from Inspiration!” ~Maria Erving
“Whenever you try to fix something or force things to happen, you do it out of fear. Decide now that you are not going to a dark place anymore thinking it will bring you some sort of insight, because it won’t. Insight comes from a place of trust and peace” ~Maria Erving
“It’s not enough to just feel our feelings, there has to be an acceptance too in order to transcend them. To accept them fully means that you’re not taking them back by apologizing for how you feel. We can’t go beyond anything by denying” ~Maria Erving
“We can’t “Find Ourselves” by approaching our Inner Self intellectually. Become aware of the voice in your mind that always seem to find excuses to not meditate. It doesn’t matter how many books you read, or how many programs or seminars you attend, if you don’t make the time to actually connect with your Spirit Spiritually” ~Maria Erving
“Spirit lives in the present moment. Only ego flows back and forth to an imaginary future and regretful past. Whenever you encounter some sort of challenge in life, the best way to handle it is to do anything you can to bring yourself back to the Now. The present moment is all we have, and when we get worried or fearful we become lost-and it’s all happening in the movement of thought.” ~Maria Erving
“Just as the act of conscious giving, the awareness about what we give out, and why, is an important universal principle; so is the act of receiving. To be willing to receive is to say yes to life” ~Maria Erving
“After every plateau a new path opens up, and when everything seem to be stagnant we are really not, we are being prepared for the new, and the sooner we can accept where we are, accept that we don’t know what will happen next, and accept that there are plateaus in life and they are there for a reason, the faster and more harmoniously the change can come about for us.” ~Maria Erving
“If you chose to stay in a crappy relationship, when you don’t see any progress coming and you feel drained to be in it, but you decide to stay; it only means you are living your life based on someone else core values and ignoring (or not even aware of) your own.” ~Maria Erving
“Sometimes something is not right for us at one time, and then later on it will be. Sometimes we jump into things without thinking only to find out later that it was completely wrong for us. Either way, it was all right for us at that particular moment in time, and there is a lesson to be learned. Maybe we needed that jump just so we could learn to check with our inner being more often in the future. Time is always right for us, even when we think it was wrong” ~Maria Erving
“(Spiritual living) It’s about making choices that empowers us, and letting go of situations and people who try to drag us down. It’s about staying true to our own standards without judging others to have the wrong ones.” ~Maria Erving

“The day will come when you have grown so strong in faith it will make you untouchable and even though situations should work against you, they won’t. Things will run smoothly for you, and be made right from the beginning. You will be able to walk with confidence and a strong conviction that nothing is impossible now that you have faith, blissfully knowing that God is smiling upon you.” ~Maria Erving
“We are not our names, our titles, roles, religions, bodies or colors. We are nothing of physical nature. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience, and we are whole and perfect just as we are. We don’t need anything to be worthy of the best life possible, because we already are it. When we get in touch with the essence of who we really are, life makes sense in a totally new way and in a totally new light” ~Maria Erving
“Ego will only tell you FOREVER that you are “not ready”‘; that you have to study more, go to more classes, know more, read more, evolve more, do this and that more, before you can do the thing you know your heart is calling you to do – don’t listen to it, or you will never be ready” ~Maria Erving
“You grow into your own being, you learn to trust yourself, and the more you begin to really love yourself the more respectfully you will treat yourself. You have to become your own best friend, and it’s much easier if you give yourself a break. Learn and learn again until you get it, but don’t beat yourself up ever again. Doing that is insane, if you think about it” ~Maria Erving
“Spirituality means coming to the realization of the presence of Spirit and trust it, and rely on in more than you have previously relied on the world to take care of you, provide you with jobs, shelter and clothing. When you no longer think that you have to join the flock who think they are born and later die in and in between you should go to school, get a job, get married, have children, car, dog and a house, travel sometimes, get retired later, save money and hope for the best” ~Maria Erving
“Faith is the connecting link between you and God, and the second you start demonstrating that, progress can be made, quickly. Faith is the energy that will allow everything good to open up and come your way” ~Maria Erving
“There is a deeper realm of being that is beyond what we perceive with our senses; much more to life than what we see and hear with our senses. Tune into that, even if you can’t feel it yet, even if you have no idea how it looks like, just know it’s there, within you and keep asking your soul to reveal that which is real and true in your existence” ~Maria Erving
“The positive energy that comes from within your soul, that’s God. To live a spiritual life is to remember who you really are, to walk closer with God and be connected to the divine, to put your soul first. When you find the kingdom within, all good things follow” ~Maria Erving
“Often we know what we want, but we are too afraid to go for it. Lay that fear aside and know that it is nothing more than your ego trying to hold you back from your own greatness. The fear is nothing to take too seriously; just recognize it and turn your focus on Spirit” ~Maria Erving
“Where you have been, what you have done or experienced in your life is not important; what’s important is where you are going. Your past is dead. The only way to keep it alive is when we keep rehearsing and justifying and complaining and blaming and… you get the point. Let all that go and set yourself free” ~Maria Erving
“Just as the act of conscious giving, the awareness about what we give out, and why, is an important universal principle; so is the act of receiving. To be willing to receive is to say yes to life” ~Maria Erving
“Religion teaches us that we are sinners and unworthy, and that if we are good (meaning following a particular churches beliefs and rules) then we might get to heaven after we die. Although the truth is that we are here to create heaven on earth with our free will, completely worthy of the Kingdom of God right now” ~Maria Erving
