  1. I get back to center a lot easier. I absolutely do. I hold myself accountable totally accountable. If I slip up, I do not take it out on, I don't say it's someone else's fault. I hold myself my own feet to the fire. I absolutely do. I'm real good about that. You know that? And I'm really good about also owning that I become pretty good person. You know, I think of myself now as like fine wine. I've had a I've reached that point in my life where I feel like It's time for me to treat myself better

  3. Yeah, I think what we're afraid of is how we are going to die. We're not afraid of death. Because if you're not, we've never been afraid of death. We're terrified of dying The process Who isn't? I don't care to disintegrate And go through some kind of horrible death. Neither do you, neither does your family members. We don't want to say goodbye to each other. We don't want to look at each other in the face and say fare thee well. I'll meet you on the other side. Right. We don't want to say that. That's heartbreaking. But we're not afraid to be dead because it's not possible. I assure you that. I promise you that. I promise you.

  4. Well, I think our bodies obviously die. All life, I observe the law. All life dies, all physical life dies. I don't think I don't think we're afraid of death. I actually think one of the functions of grace is that we are not afraid of death.

  5. I grew up in a house where my parents always said prayers literally at night with us, a little picture of an angel above my bed, and then I was educated. You were raised Catholic? Raised Catholic? Are you still practicing? And you know what? Do you know what Oscar Wilde said? I don't go to that place because they have all those gargoyles and all that other stuff. I don't live like a Catholic, but I'm going to die like one. And that's what's true.

  6. I've always, you know, I was so lucky, I was so ridiculously, no, I was blessed. Blessed. I'll take the word luck out. No luck. I was blessed. Totally blessed. Yeah, I never had that.

  7. You know what's strange? Totally intimate and totally cosmic, both simultaneously. That's a good guy. Yeah, it's not bad. I've marketed it.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  8. The order is universal. It is consistent, it is the nature of life, and the negotiating principle with mystical laws is prayer. That's what makes them intimate. Miracle is when God bends these laws for you. In an intimate way, and that's a miracle. I've never heard that before. I'm not sentimental about God. I do not personalize God with emotion, like love, and I don't go there.

  9. Mother saw it in you. Yeah, yeah, yeah When I went to the world of medical intuition, and that whole life began, then my inner world developed very rapidly, very clearly along a certain line, and it just has been that ever since.

  10. Should have left 20 years ago. This is the voice your conscience. It's the voice of your consciousness. It's the voice of your gut instinct. It's the voice. It's the voice you don't want to hear that never turns off. And when you follow this voice and you push, this is the part that says you should push and you should do this. So it's the part that keeps us moving and turning the wheel of our life. It's also the part that says, you've done as much as you could now. This is it. You've done everything you can. So it's the part that will say that's as far as you can go. It will guide you, it will say this is it.

  11. Oh no. No, it isn't Oprah. It's actually the source of people's greatest suffering. Because people hear when they've betrayed themselves, people are very much aware when they are not honest with themselves. It's that voice that says, you shouldn't have said that. You know, that's not right

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  12. A person has to try. A person has to put their energy into their own life and their own effort. You have to do that. We have an intuitive voice in us. We have born intuitive. We are so intuitive that it's actually for most people the source of their greatest suffering. That inner guidance tells us.

  14. You got something here that works. They want magic. Yeah. They want magic. They want to take what they have and they want to get what they want. And prayer is truly saying, you know, there's a lot more pain that comes from answered prayers than unanswered ones. I get used for it.

  15. No longer commands me. Where I go inside and I think about, like, there's a Catholic saint, I'm very enchanted by named Teresa Avalon. Here's one of her prayers. Hover over me, God. Hover over me, God. Remind me you're there. Hover over me, God. I don't need more than that. What that does is it just reminds me, reminds me of everything, reminds me, be kind to that person. Be kind, kindness is much better than anything else. Be kind.

  16. Oh, I love prayer so much. Prayer is truly that it's an inner mystical awakening. To me, prayer is so many things. Prayer is. Dialogue with God. It's not petition. You know, most people know prayer through petition prayer. Can I have? Can I want But that's not really the holiness of prayer. Prayer is when you withdraw from your five senses. I closed my eyes and I closed my ears and I withdraw and I go into a world where rational thought no longer commands. And distracts my intellect.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  17. The voice that comes in and says, I'm going to prevent you from doing something really ruinous right now. That's Grace. Here's Grace. Grace is the kind of thing that comes in and says, you'd be all right and goes away. Grace is the kind of thing that is put your hand on that person just for a minute. And you could feel an energy go through you and an energy calm them down. And it doesn't give you an explanation. It just says when you are flushed with worry and you think, am I going to be all right? And then you suddenly know, yes. Yes, you

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  18. You ever have that in an argument with someone where you got so fired up and you thought, ooh. I could just say this. And all of a sudden LaVoy said, You sure you want to do that? You want to say that because it's a game changer if you say that it's grace.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  19. I think in some cases you're saying you're not worth protecting, and the other one is saying you are no different than the people who hurt you.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  20. Right, and the way you're managing the path you're on, and it's harming you. And when your life path begins to harm you. Then we have to sit back and say you've taken a detour.

  22. You have. I mean, and the numbers of times someone will say to themselves, I want to get out of this circumstance, but I'm too afraid to take care of myself. So I will lie about how happy I am in this marriage. I will put up a front. I will lie about this. But they're betraying everything that's in their heart. Betraying everything. When they say to me, Am I on the right path? Here's what's true. You're on your right path. You're just not managing it that well right now.

  23. Compromise is when you willingly, willingly Willingly and out of love, say you'd say all right, a little this, little that, little this, little that. But in a compromise, You don't go away feeling like I betrayed myself. I betrayed myself. I've allowed myself, I've put poison in my mouth here.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  27. And not only that, that for every one choice we make, we're actually making 30 because of our emotions, are making a choice. Our mind is making a choice. Our heart's making choices. Our unconscious is made. So every moment, we're probably making 500 million choices.

  28. Life on earth will never be fair the way we want it to be. It will never be for every one cause there's one effect. There's not for every There's millions of causes and millions of effects for every single breath we take.

  29. And what else, but what would you do with it? Augustine says to him, Tell me about your life. He says, well, I have family and I have food and I have friends. And he said, that sounds like gold to me. He says, but I don't have real gold. And Augustine said, well, what would you do with it? Well, I would hire my friends and they would work for me and then I wouldn't have to work. And Augustine said, hmm, well, I can understand why God hasn't given you gold. Why? Because it would turn your heart into someone bitter, and you would abuse your friends. And I can see why God has been so fair and just by not giving you the answer to your prayer, by not giving you what you think you want. Protected you from the worst of you and given you the best of you. But is

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. This happened to me. And who did you think it was going to happen to? Person across the street, and it makes them think I must be on the wrong path And why is that? Because something bad happened to you? Something you thought was bad? What if it was the best thing that ever happened? One of the stories I love to tell, which is Saint Augustine. It's old story from Saint Augustine when this man said to Augustine, I've been praying, praying, praying for what? Gold and why do you want gold? Because I'm poor.

  32. Yeah, no expectation. In the sense, think about this expectations are that certain things should not happen to you that happen to ordinary people.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  33. Yes. Or something happened to you, and you said this it shouldn't have. And you never got over it. One of those things happened, and you said it shouldn't have happened to me. I promise you, that happened. When someone finally said, it's not my life. I don't know how I lost my purpose. No, you didn't. You did not lose your purpose. What you lost was this sense that you thought certain things shouldn't happen to you and they did. As if you were excluded from the ordinary everyday things of life and you can't get over it.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  34. You had your life focused on something that didn't belong to you and a path that didn't belong to you. Yes, you did or you wouldn't be here.

  38. One of the seven billion of us totally. It can't be otherwise. And this is why I absolutely love studying the work of the mystics because this is what's so extraordinary. The tiniest. Tiniest truth is the same at the big level. If you have life, one drop of life, one atom is as purposeful as our planet. What is in one is in the whole. Wow. It can't be otherwise. It cannot.

  40. Something that you don't belong to, that life doesn't belong to you. But in our society, we're taught to imitate something, to want something that doesn't belong to us.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  41. That knowingness is what the soul understands. I was born and it was for a purpose. You have agreements, fundamental agreements that you simply feel. You can't put your finger on them because they reveal themselves to you. Within the context of your life through coincidence, through synchronicity. Through obligations, you can't get out of. Through mad love, you can't stop no matter what you do.

  44. There is no other choice. Even if you thought, even if you're in a grocery store and you're thinking, should I buy this or not? And your gut says, you know, you can't eat that. And you decide, I'm not going to listen to that voice right there, even in that tiny thing, you've walked toward fear. Because you've blocked your intuitive

  46. Everyone can relate to that. Part of your spirit that is simply drawn to hope that will not give in to despair. The part of you that has to believe in goodness, that has to believe in something more.

    2018-07-25 · Oprah's Super Soul · Caroline Myss: Discovering Your Life's Purpose · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
