Quotes By Eldon Taylor

“Inside every human being is an eternal truth and a life purpose. Using our mind power is simply starting the engine on that journey of self-discovery and highest self actualization."
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

"Not only is our reality a matter of choices, but so is the power we give it."
~ Eldon Taylor, Mind Programming

"Life has many twists and turns, and seldom do we find the road to be straight and narrow. The same can be said for the choices we have to make."
~ Eldon Taylor, What Does That Mean?

"Knowing ourselves is a journey—an exploration—and one that demands we risk being wrong about everything we think that we know or believe."
~ Eldon Taylor, What If?

"Visualization should be a part of every day. By seeing a successful, rewarding day upon awakening, we’re more likely to have one."

~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"Many believe that self-help and self improvement is about rags to riches, failure to success, and so forth, when indeed it is the beginning of a journey into self- discovery,” says Eldon. “Inside every human being is an eternal truth and a life purpose. Using our mind power is simply starting the engine on that journey of self-discovery and highest self actualization."
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

“Within every human being exists a propensity for greatness. The gifts may vary, and the greatness may live out in a vast array of alternatives—say, from carpentry to rocket ships—but the gift that gives one true self-respect, lifts the spirit from “same old, same old,” resides within. These are not just words or some lofty notion, as will be shown in later chapters. This potential resides within each one of us—but if so, then why is it so often denied?”
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

“Defining consciousness turns out to be a process somewhat akin to searching for the core of an onion. Revisiting consciousness is more than a philosophical exercise or a scientific inquiry. It is a duty, even a moral imperative, to reevaluate the nature of consciousness, for this inherently devises the strategy by which mankind treats itself and all life.”
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

“Perhaps, just perhaps, mankind will only know his highest, most noble self when he offers the deepest respect for all life. Perhaps the invigorated enthusiasm searching for a firm hold on this stuff called consciousness will eventually give rise to the respect I speak of. Perhaps the Zero Point nature of consciousness now being experimented with by respectable physicists will yield access, conscious access, to the One Mind of the Universe.”
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

“If you consider the successful to be greedy or evil or inherently over paid for what they do, and therefore subject to a different set of rules than those with less, like even heavier tax burdens, then why would you want to work long and hard to be successful. In short, if prosperity is your dream, how can you condemn it on one hand and seek it on another. Instead of perhaps thinking about that person with the Bugatti, or the Aston Martin, or the Lamborghini or the Ferrari as fat cats who probably did something unethical or illegal, wouldn’t it make more sense to think about them as, “Wow—great for you. That’s for me too!”
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

“Most people do not accept that within themselves is a power that can change all of those self-limiting, self-destructive beliefs, a power that can indeed result in manifesting person so self-responsible that they walk and live above the fray—in the world but not of the world. This is truly your birthright. Life is not designed to be only struggle.”
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

“In short, we build esteem by adding, not by subtracting, and we add most when we add from unconditional love. When we go to the aid of another, and do so without an eye to what we might get out of it, we add both to our worth and to the worth of mankind in general. When we give love without condition—a string attached, so to speak—we add again both to our worth and to that of another. True self-esteem comes from what we give, not from what we take. It comes from the walk we walk, not from the things we say. True self-esteem builds character, not ego. It is, after all, the act of being who we really have been created to be. Further, our intention to give unconditionally creates a field that generates opportunities beyond the scope of selfish intentions.”
~ Eldon Taylor, Choices and Illusions

"You are created with such an awesome potential to manifest your given talents, to face and overcome all challenges, to rise to a level of human existence that honors you and your creator, and to do so by doing your best with integrity in all matters with service to your fellow human beings as the defining factor in your life."
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"When does trust devolve to distrust? How many apologies can be made before they become meaningless? How many lies do we hear before we know longer listen? I feel it important to bring something into focus now. As I have said before, I want to trust my government. I want to believe in our leaders. I want to think we live under the best system in the world. I have a big package of ethnocentric biases that causes me to dismiss the possibility that malevolent forces are at work in this great country. Unfortunately, my faith has moved away from the leaders per se and toward the people. “We the people” are at the core of what created the good old USA. What I have attempted to deal with in this book is both so complicated and complex that to do so in detail would lead to a veritable encyclopedia. Therefore, what I have tried to do is place some dots on the page. It is up to you to determine if there is a picture there when you begin to connect them. Perhaps you will find a picture that disturbs you, as it does me. If so, I encourage you to share the picture with others. It is up to us, for if not you, who, and if not now, when?"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"We have collectively become obedient consumers excited about our next purchase, or vacation, or trinket of some kind, as though they represented the means to be happy. Blindly we march on in cadence to the drum of the Pied Piper of consumption, and there is never an end to things we want—more, more, more!"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"You will come to understand that the system is designed in such a way today that our real education must be in how to find the truth rather than in memorizing names, dates, and places, as most of us were taught. Thinking is becoming a lost art for too many. In other words, it is only when our mind turns full around on itself, examining not just its content but its operating system, that we stand a chance in realizing who we really are, let alone what we really believe."
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"You are created with an awesome potential to manifest your innate talents, to face and overcome all challenges, to rise to a level of human existence that honors you and your creator, and to do so by doing your best with integrity in all matters with service to your fellow human beings as the defining factor in your life. This sort of self-help, self-esteem building, I encourage. This is what I write about and endorse. This is not free self-esteem, no price to pay—you just deserve it—and that’s the kind I am criticizing."
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"One by one our ‘protected’ freedoms are being taken away from us. Each time there is a brief hue-and-cry about it, but nothing is ever done. Soon the new restrictions are just a part and parcel of normal American life. If it does not impinge on us personally, we just let it go . . .until it does and it is too late!"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"Whether by VNRs or other means, the public has become so saturated with information presented 24/7 by the media that it’s no wonder we walk the talk of the advertisers, buying their products, using their drugs, trusting the authority to care for us by protecting our food, guarding us against disease with inoculations, regulating our habits to keep us safe wherever we are, etc., etc., etc. We have collectively become obedient consumers excited about our next purchase, or vacation, or trinket of some kind, as though they represented the means to be happy. Blindly we march on in cadence to the drum of the Pied Piper of consumption, and there is never an end to things we want—more, more, more!"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"Are we as a country on a path destined to eliminate self-reliance, replace creativity and productivity with ideas of fear and scarcity, and thereby fuel a welfare state while imposing the will of the collective?"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"Are we on a path determined to spread the virtue of cultural relativism and consequently break down ideas of right and wrong, leading us further and further away from any possibility of an absolute value, including that of life itself?"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"Have we become convinced that media can teach us all we need to know without confirming the information for ourselves? Is H. G. Wells correct that we are living under an 'Open Conspiracy'?"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha! 

"If the individual is only a cog in the wheel, a disposable asset employed to turn the wheel, and if social Darwinism is combined with this view, then the fittest (our so-called elite) are justified in treating the masses as a herd of animals to be controlled."
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"Is fear the means of operant conditioning that keeps the masses following the promptings of the herders?"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"One of the problems with all of this brainwashing and propaganda is that it can create some very strong polarization, which leads to a breakdown in our ability to communicate."
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"My ambition with this work is and has been to empower as many as possible with the information necessary to live in our modern world as free of as much manipulation as possible. I truly believe in the incredible power that resides in each and every one of you, but I also know that this power will lie dormant in many throughout their lifetime."
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!

"Participating in the world while still holding onto your own individuality can be a really tricky business, but the rewards are immense. Inner conflict is often the evidence that we are not being true to ourselves. Learn who you are and neutralize any attempts to turn you into mere automatons!"
~ Eldon Taylor, Gotcha!
