Transformational Teachings from Counselor Jane Ilene Cohen

“Because I’m documenting this on my blog, when we clear things, and you shift, and you see that things work that you thought could not possibly work, it’s going to be down in black and white. This whole work is a demonstration that life is meant to work…”

“The truth is you can’t combat truth from overwhelming you. It’s supposed to overwhelm you because it’s supposed to transform you. It’s not a bad thing. It’s a good thing. It frees you.”

“Understanding that ‘life is meant to work’ seems to be the big evolutionary challenge for human beings, because every limiting decision people make boils down to some form of ‘life is not meant to work.’”

“A leader is a person who is accessing reality from their own experience and expressing that. He or she has a fix on reality in a way that others don’t. They have a very strong knowing that something is very important and must be said and is really true. And the truth of it causes people to recognize it. When someone speaks truth you know it, whether or not you’re willing to listen to it, or have a trigger against it. But truth rings true. It has a big effect. And the fact that leaders are connected to truth, makes them leaders.”

“Your parents probably had an attitude that it’s a moral mandate that you must do what your parents tell you to do. You must be obedient, no matter what they say, just for the sake of being obedient, rather than look at what they’re saying, make sense of it and decide, ‘OK, this is how they feel about it. Does this make sense for me?’ This dictates that you must not understand life from your own perspective, your own understanding of what is true and real, in order for you parents to have control over you. And this basically is what is handed down from generation to generation.”

“Besides specific, individual limiting decisions, there are limiting decisions that permeate entire cultures, and those that are global, representing where humanity has evolved at that particular point-in-time. Our collective limiting decisions affect the whole social concept of how to earn a living, how to keep social order, how to raise children, etc. These ways of being in life are substitutes for Divine Truth, separating humanity from what really matters to us.”

“In order to be in the present moment, self-interest is a crucial element. If you’re not connected to what matters to you, personally, and if you’re not following that path of what really matters to you in every moment… It’s crucially important. That’s how you define reality.”
