I only read a book if I feel intuitively led to read it. Echo Bodine More Quotes by Echo Bodine More Quotes From Echo Bodine I think it's very important for someone going to buy a book, taking a class or listening to a lecturer to ask, "Is this the right thing for me to do now? If it isn't, guide me to what I need." Echo Bodine classbookthinking Sometimes people run out and read a lot of books, but they don't absorb anything from them. They want to read the next popular book. Echo Bodine runningbookpeople If I am intuitively led to buy and read a book, what that means is that there is something there that will help me grow spiritually. Echo Bodine helpingmeanbook I think too much importance is placed on spirit guides. They involve looking outside of ourselves to do it, to fix it, to tell us what to do.

Echo Bodine scaryheavenbelieve I've come to believe, on the journey of mine, that we have a still, small voice - and that voice does come from God. It's there to bring us comfort and to bring us guidance with everything. Echo Bodine voicejourneybelieve We need to be able to set all of the voices aside, and then go to the still, small voice and say, "Show me the truth of this situation." Echo Bodine ablevoiceneeds Knowing is the same thing as the inner voice. Echo Bodine inner-voicevoiceknowing One of the voices that we struggle with inside is the voice of religion. Religion teaches us some very strict things about God and our relationship with God. Some religions teach us that we aren't worthy of having a personal relationship with God.

Echo Bodine way-to-liveintuitionwonderful We have a lot of controlling people who are trying to tell us how to live our lives, and a lot of co-dependent people around us.
