“Namaste means the spirit in me sees the spirit in you. And do you see yet the great truth in this simple phrase? When your eyes and brain alone cannot see the spirit in another, the spirit in you sees it always.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“I know you don’t want to stand up to the bullies, the peace-breakers, or even the demons among you. You want someone else to handle it, someone else to tell them to stop, someone else to bring the peace. And very often in your life, there will be someone else, and you’ll be able to stay in your place of peace. But other times, the peace you crave can only be found by fighting the battle, and the light you crave can only be seen by fighting the darkness.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Papal Visitor

― Sean Patrick Brennan, Heaven, Hell, and the Planet In Between: Book 1: The Uniter

“No amount of sin-finding on Earth will bring you any closer to God. You won’t get a gold star on your soul when you return to Heaven, nor will anyone greet you with congratulations for identifying sinners on Earth and all their sinny, sin sins.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“Ego, when given the chance, will direct all thoughts and actions to its own purpose and passion. It hijacks all work of the soul, and runs the mind and body completely contrary to the soul’s mission.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“It’s a funny irony, really, and one most humans seem to miss. When you manifest light, and allow your spirit to shine, you hurt no one, and your expression of joy is pure, but when you use your personality to purposely outshine another, you live under a shroud of darkness instead.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“Do not let your conscience be clouded by unknown storms. Trust in the atmosphere of spirit that breathes so calmly deep within you at all times.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Papal Visitor

“Choosing the good of all is always your highest calling, even if that means people don’t like you for it. Being liked is meaningless if real love is not at the heart of your purpose.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“God has created each soul in God’s image, and every soul is inherently good. Just as certain conditions can cause mold to grow on food, so too do certain circumstances cause an un-spiritual mold to grow on a person’s soul. Before long, the mold has taken control of the spirit and a person seems possessed of that mold. But no matter how controlled by the mold a person is, their soul still belongs to God, and is absolutely, always redeemable.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Heaven, Hell, and the Planet In Between: Book 1: The Uniter

“Once a human brain becomes aware of another kind of self within, it’s like unlocking all new powers and abilities for you, the soul. You’ll go from witness to creator, and your influence over the brain will only grow stronger and stronger as the brain matures. The brain begins to relax in a way, and finally gives power over willingly to the soul.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“We cannot fully appreciate eternal life and all its bliss without first understanding the important testing ground of human life on Earth. We cannot be all until we are one. We cannot be raised high until we go low. And we cannot appreciate all our many freedoms until first we begin with nothing.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“The death of the human body is not only inevitable, but necessary, too. Just as you’d never wish to be forced as an adult to wear clothes you haven’t fit into since you were five, the soul needs to move on and away from the body. It outgrows it.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“It's an unholy crusade against good people everywhere, all in my name. If I had a stomach, I'd be sick to it. You see now why so many good people just give up out there? You can only take so much evil pretending to be good. You can only handle so many broken souls acting as if good people are the evil ones, before you raise your hands and claim defeat. But I want you all to understand something. There is evil happening. There are spirits from Hell demonizing. There are even wars planned, and dark judgments justified by the self-righteous fanatics. But none of that means good can't also triumph. None of that means good cannot rise up against hatred, against judgment, against the armies of Hell itself, and bring about a tidal wave of joy and love. Evil does, but good always is.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Papal Visitor

“Even if it’s a really funny joke, don’t laugh if the devil’s the one telling it!”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Papal Visitor

“You have to love and respect your body, just as you must love and respect your soul, before you can truly love and respect the bodies and souls of those you care for. Of course the body itself is no matter to Heaven for the same reason that matter is no matter. Your gluten and your gluttonous maximus are a corporeal issue. Only your gluttony is an affair of the soul.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Heaven, Hell, and the Planet In Between: Book 1: The Uniter

“Imagine someone is fast asleep in a very dark room. The friend who opens the curtains to let the light in will be cursed and hated. But the day had long since started, and the friend still sleeping curses the light, and prefers the darkness. In the same way, those who bring light to a dark situation will be cursed and ridiculed for their optimism and love. They will be scorned and rejected for their joy and hope. But optimism, love, hope, and joy should be pursued anyway. In all things, you must trust in the knowing your brain will never know, the feeling your heart can never reveal, and the Spirit your own soul still hasn’t even begun to explore. This is the profound gift of a firm grasp on faith.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Papal Visitor

“Like sparks of light bursting from the earth, Peaches and her spirit animal dove up from the root system all at once, then ran over and through the leaves on the forest canopy, as water-worn rocks appeared beneath their feet the closer they got to the creek. A moment or so later, they were diving underneath the fast current of the shallow water, spiraling downward toward a bright beam of light emanating from the very bottom of the creek.”

“All parents were once babies and children themselves, so try to remember this when observing parents from afar. Adults are just children who have grown up—they’re toddlers with longer legs.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“Real soul work knows there is no such thing as the other. The other is a myth, and a fabrication of an imperfect mind. A true being of light, fully possessed of itself and cognizant of its presence, sees only fellow beings of the one light whose individual brightness is sometimes dimming. To this end, your greatest mission in human form is to help others shine brightly as the angels they have forgotten they are. When you live like this, perceived darkness is but a fading shadow on the bright pane of existence, and only light goes on forever.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“Namaste, a person says, and with just one word, she acknowledges so much. She acknowledges the existence of the soul, she acknowledges the existence of the soul within her, she acknowledges the existence of the souls within other people, and she acknowledges the need to remember this holiest of holy truths often.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“Live in the present. Tomorrow is a puzzle you can only solve with the answers you find today.”

― Sean Patrick Brennan

“Close your eyes often, and by opening the eyes of your soul, see the proof of the majesty surrounding you at all times.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel's Guide to Taking Human Form

“There really was nothing else like it on earth. Nothing else he’d ever experienced before, anyhow. It was an unmatched, unrivaled, kinetic high just to be inside the front door of someone else’s house without their knowledge or permission, let alone any of the other miniature highs of opening drawers and cabinets to snoop around. Whereas some folks were built to avoid such drama by nature, Pat lived for this kind of thing. He’d been born for it.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Moments to Spare

“Know that God loves you very, very much. And remind others that they are loved too. If they don’t want to hear that God loves them, then tell them you love them. It will be just as important! Beliefs vary, but love always works!”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, Heaven, Hell, and the Planet In Between: Book 1: The Uniter
