1 " It takes courage to walk away from what is inauthentic without benefit of a secure structure to grab onto. It takes courage to experiment with taking risks. And it takes courage to face the valuable and scary parts of you that are submerged in your cellar self. As your cosmic barbecue burns away your faulty identity, your heart opens to self-compassion, as well as greater compassion for the flawed humanity of others. "
― Toni Galardi
2 " The LifeQuake Journey, unlike some models for discovering your life purpose, is a quest for the Holy Grail –the part of every man or woman that is an open cup but made of a durable gold to support us – going beyond the limited information of one’s experience to a new level of receptivity and accessibility for downloading, using, and then releasing information obtained from the universal ‘cloud’. "
3 " Historically, among early tribes and aboriginal peoples, when an individual had a breakdown, it was seen as a blessing or omen, a breakthrough. That person often became a healer, shaman, or prophet. He or she would leave the tribe and go into the forest or desert on an initiatory journey. They were believed to have left the ordinary world behind to connect with the non-ordinary realm to bring new information back to the tribe. We have no such initiations in Western mainstream society so people sometimes experience psychotic breaks and then we medicate that. Some people need to go crazy to find themselves; their belief system has to shatter before they can discover who they really are. "
