Vicki Woodyard Wisdoms
The Self is sanctuary.
Everything is seamlessly integrated. It is only the mind that says otherwise.
Straight is the way and narrow is the gate and the ego is a double wide.
Let the heart be the path on which the mind walks.
The seeker is within, as well as the sought.
The whole purpose of the spiritual journey is to learn to live behind the mind.
Awareness is the pearl in the oyster of mechanical life. Use grit to grow.
My tension comes from inattention.
Drop the “k” in seeker.
The daily grind can be a “find,” when you are looking at the nuggets of now.
Nurture the now.
I count my blessings to make sure none get away.
Charity begins within.
The teacher, both within and without, is merely a mirror. Simple reflection is the great healer.
For something to happen, the entire universe must AGREE.
Everything is destined.
The flow will find you when it needs you.
In between, relax…
Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is within. He had a lot of nirvana to say that!
No one can reach the silence. One must become it
Retreat from self-attack and all others will retreat immediately.
My place of surrender is my place of power.
Trying to push the river makes one all wet.
Dearest friend. I have just known that you existed on this planet!. I was visitting Craig Hamilton´s page. You have captured my heart with the above WISDOMS.
I love you and thank you for them!
Love from Argentina!
Hi, Josefina. I have lots more of these one liners. I need to post them.
Post them, they’re good!
Vicki,
Appreciate your accepting my friend request.
I am enjoying exploring your links and wisdom, and look forward to reading your book.
I like this wisdom-ism a lot:
“Straight is the way and narrow is the gate and the ego is a double wide.”
Curious…will you get another dog?

I am a student of ND and Advaita and pretty much self medicated because I am totally alone here in SC. There are a couple of what Vicki calls race horses here but I am just a mule. The race horses have their own track of course and pull their own kind of carts but seems the southern mules also have to carry the masters and the slaves burdens as well on the way home. I just want to say that it is great to read this stuff here. Vicki has this what I call the southern thing going on. Years of ingrained prejudice and hatreds to wade thru going to the light. Not saying the race horses don’t, just observing. Namaste
Vicki, you are surely someone to share, just found you, because someone shared you, and I will do the same, share you, thank you for you, I feel blessed, that you are <3
Lots of love from a rainy, cosy sunday in Denmark,

Wonderful aphorisms. I particularly liked ‘The whole purpose of the spiritual journey is to learn to live behind the mind.’ With gratitude and respect, Hariod Brawn.
This is it. Love. Thank you.
Namaste Vicki,
I was delighted on hearing your Interview on “Buddha at the Gas Pump” Podcast Number 525 in The Podcast App. I am dumb struck by the way you dealt with the loss of your Husband and Daughter and your cheerfulness despite the sorrows in your life. Your hallmark is The Simplicity which is very Complex to attain.
May The Almighty shower IT’s choicest blessings on you and your son.
Lokah Samastha Sukino Bhavantu!!! (Affirmation in Sanskrit language of Hinduism Religion meaning “May All Beings Be Happy! May None Suffer.)
I loved talking with Rick, even though I was afraid I wouldn’t do well. Yes, my life has been mostly tragedy with a dash of comedy. For me, simplicity is the only way home.
The fewer words the better. Thanks for liking what I do.
