To have a friendship with God, all I really have to do is have a friendship with my Self.
This is the great secret. This is the sacred wisdom. Do unto others as you would have it done unto you.
Social evolution is demonstrated by movement towards unity, not separatism.
Act as if you were separate from nothing, and no one, and you will heal your world tomorrow.
You cannot change the outer event, so you must change the inner experience.
The new spirituality will also base itself on a third very large spiritual understanding, which is that life is eternal. Most religious people claim to believe that, but very few people actually live as if that were true.
The first problem, of course, is that we haven’t learned to love ourselves. That’s the first problem. We can only give to another what we have to give. And if we have no love over here, we can’t give it over there.
Nothing can happen, nothing can occur in your life which is not a precisely perfect opportunity for you to heal something, create something, or experience something that you wish to heal, create, or experience in order to be who you really are.
What? You’re thinking for yourself? You’re deciding on your own? You’re applying your own yardsticks, your own judgments, your own values? Who do you think you are, anyway? And, indeed, that is precisely the question you are answering.
You must learn to honor and cherish and love your Self. You must first see your Self as worthy before you can see another as worthy. You must first know your Self to be holy before you can acknowledge holiness in another.
The result of your not listening to your experience is that you keep re-living it, over and over again.
Nothing changes the environment like one person deciding to love another, no matter what.
If you need to know in advance that everything will ‘work out’ before you jump in, you’ll never jump into anything.
Life’s irony is that as soon as worldly goods and worldly success are of no concern to you, the way is open for them to flow to you.
The soul creates, the mind reacts. The soul understands what the mind cannot conceive.
If you use God with awareness and with intention, all things will change.
If you don’t go within, you go without.
Thank you, God, for bringing me success in my life.
Choose, but don’t want.
You don’t have to do anything! If you enjoy life at this level, if you feel this is the ultimate for you, you can have this experience over and over and over again!
