Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

"No effect occurs without cause, and no cause occurs without effect. No unjust action goes without penalty, and no action or thought flows unnoticed throughout the universe."

"Behind every effect there is a cause. You can never eliminate an effect without first understanding its cause."

"THE CONSCIOUS HUMANYou are not just white,but a rainbow of colors. You are not just black,but golden. You are not just a nationality,but a citizen of the world. You are not just for the right or left,but for what is right over the wrong. You are not just rich or poor,but always wealthy in the mind and heart. You are not perfect, but flawed. You are flawed, but you are just. You may just be conscious human,but you are also a magnificentreflection of God. Suzy Kassem“The Conscious Human” Poetry by Suzy Kassem"

"It's time for everybody to start becoming conscious of their conscience."

"To know the good from the bad, measure the heart. Actions reveal the true coloring of one's heart, not their intentions."

"Even if everybody is looking at the same light bulb, the unique composition of an individual will dictate how they interpret and see things. Some people will only see things with their left eye (mind/moon), while others will use only their right (heart/sun). Some people are completely void of light and repel it immediately. For instance, a beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different than the insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature — human or not human."

"Be very careful when you judge another human being. Do not measure anybody strictly based on the bad you see in them and ignore all the good. Be wary of any man who intentionally ignores another man's record of deeds or work history simply to impose their own agenda. Such a man's judgment lacks merit and should be disregarded immediately. Without a conscience, there is no truth in them."

"None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities. Everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them, and within them."

"If you do not understand the Golden Rule, which is the most important law in the universe, then you are in trouble. All other rules in your holy books combined — are not as valuable as the ONE Golden Rule. Take two minutes to learn the most crucial law in life. Killing another human comes with the highest penalty, regardless of how you justify it. All life is sacred."

"If man could write his own fate, he would have designed his journey to be without obstacles. Yet all obstacles come with valuable lessons designed just for you and only you. Suffering is imposed on us time and again so that one day we would become brave wise masters. That is, a strong being who is confidently aware of their intended direction in life, and fearlessly adding value to the world and their future."

"No truth, no equality. No equality, no justice. No justice, no peace. No peace, no love. No love, only darkness."

"Fear attracts the darkness. When you have no fear, the darkness fears you."

"Be yourself. An original is always worth more than a copy."

"Without the wetness of your love,The fragrance of your water,Or the trickling sounds of Your voice,I shall always feelthirsty."

"Never fear Death for you will feel aroused by his sleep. Never cheat death or he will slap you with a sentence of misery for the defeat."

"Fear the vulture and the vulture will come. Fear nothing and you are the vulture."

"SOUL SHINEYou know that thing You do so well,That little spark You hide In the dark,That you think Nobody Knows About But You?Well,Did you know That There's A sheen That you beam,When you talk Or do Anything,That everyone Knows About But You?"

"Do not allow any negativity or ugliness in your surroundings, or anybody at all, destroy your confidence or affect your growth as a blooming flower. It is very normal for one ugly weed to not want to stand alone."

"Be Yourself. An original is worth more than a copy"

"A human being can only take so much when their basic rights as a citizen of the earth are being denied to them – or sold at a high cost."
