"The greatest good that can come to anyone is forming within them an absolute certainty of themselves, and of their relationship to the Universe, forever removing the sense of heaven as being outside of them."

"Undoubtedly, each of us is now demonstrating his concept of life, but trained thought is far more powerful than untrained, and the one who gives conscious power to his thought should be more careful what he thinks than the one who does not. The more power one gives to his thought - the more completely he believes that his thought has power - the more power will it have."

Please remember that when you stress or worry you are telling God, the Universe, Source Energy, your Soul, and life itself that it has no power and you need to be freaking out. Shut your mouth and quiet your brain and let the powers that balance the entire universe take over. You might be surprised at the peace you find and how things will work out.

_"I see something of God each hour of the
Twenty-four, and each moment then,
In the faces of men and women I see God, and in
My own face in the glass,
I find letters from God dropt in the street and every
One is signed by God's name."
-Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself"

_"When
you really, really want something, and you are thinking about your
desire and feeling pleasure from the thought, your thought vibration is
now in alignment with your desire - and the current from you Source is
flowing through you toward your intended desire with no restriction or
resistance. We call that: ALLOWING. But when you really, really want
something and are feeling anger or fear or disappointment,
that means you are focused upon the opposite of your desire, and in
doing so, you are introducing another non-matching vibration in the mix -
and the degree of negative emotion that you are now experiencing
indicates the degree of your resistance to your receiving of that
desire."

You are goodness, mercy, compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always.
You cannot change the outer event, so you must change the inner experience. This is the road to mastery in living. Nothing is painful in and of itself. Pain is the result of wrong thought. It is an error in thinking. Pain results from a judgment you made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears.

"The future is the only place where fear can reside. The only place love can reside is in this very moment. So it isn't a choice of whether I fear or not but where am I, in the moment or in the future? The beauty of it all is when you are in the moment with love, the future you desire that is devoid of fear manifests itself."

"Love seems to be the appreciation that we are all little lumps in the same earthly soup which is a little lump in a larger cosmic soup. So, love is an awareness of this beautiful energetic relationship and a natural appreciation of this situation. It doesn't seem to be a matter of finding love...it's a matter of being aware of it. It's not a question of invention but rather discovery."

What are you willing to do today or this week that's risky? Is your heart risking anything? Is there some forgiveness that you need to initiate, amends you must make that you fear the other person will reject? Is there some generosity of the heart that you must express, yet you don't want to look foolish?
As you mature spiritually, you ask life a set of questions. Instead of, "Where can I find love? you ask, "How can I radiate love?" You transcend wanting to be loved. It's natural to want to be loved, but when you mature, this desire doesn't develop into a needy personality. It shifts from desperately asking, "Isn't anybody going to ever love me?" to "How can I manifest and express more love in my life?" Then from the center of your Self there will radiate a divine love so potent that you will begin to fall in love with being loving and no longer limit yourself to having to have an object to love.

"And finally, this question...The mystery of whose story it will be...Of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad, lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it...that tells all these things?
Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free?
It's you.

"The fundamental instinct of life, then, may be summed up thus: as a desire for continued, conscious existence in a state of perpetual enjoyment...Thus do all beings reveal their divine nature...Complexities arise because soul-joy is forgotten, and because people substitute for it the fleeting pleasures of the senses. All things, however, came from Bliss, or God. Eventually, all things must evolve back to that Bliss-state."

'You can make an agreement that says, "I like you; you are wonderful and you make me feel so good. I'll bring the flowers, you bring the soft music. We'll dance, and we'll both go to the clouds." It's beautiful, it's wonderful, it's romantic, It's no longer a war of control; it's about service. But you can only do that when the love you have for yourself is very strong.'

"The joyous rays of the soul may be perceived if you interiorize your attention. These perceptions may be had by training your mind to enjoy the beautiful scenery of thoughts in the invisible, intangible kingdom within you. Do not search for happiness only in beautiful clothes, clean houses, delicious dinners, soft cushions and luxuries. These will imprison your happiness behind the bars of externality, of outwardness. Rather, in the airplane of your visualization, glide over the limitless empire of thoughts. There, behold the mountain ranges of unbroken, lofty, spiritual aspirations for improving yourself and others."
