The pain and suffering that comes to us has a purpose in our lives-it is trying to teach us something. We should look for its lesson.
Anything you strive to hold captive will hold you captive, and if you desire freedom you must give freedom.
At a simple level, good is that which helps people-evil is that which hurts people. At a higher level, good is that which is in harmony with divine purpose-evil is that which is out of harmony with divine purpose.
If we fear nothing and radiate love, we can expect good things to come.
I deal with spiritual truth which should never be sold and need never be bought. When you are ready it will be given.
Every good that you do, every good that you say, every good thought you think, vibrates on and on and never ceases. The evil remains only until it is overcome by good, but the good remains forever.
If you don’t have enough you won’t be happy. Neither are you happy if you have too much. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.
Religion is to be used as a stepping stone to God but it must never be used as a tower to hold one aloft from others. We are all cells in the body of humanity. When anyone attempts to isolate another, they only isolate themselves more.
You have endless energy only when you are working for the good of the whole – you have to stop working for your little selfish interests. That’s the secret of it. In this world you are given as you give.
Are you a slave to your self-centered nature or does your divine nature guide your life? Do you kow that every moment of your life you’re creating through thought? You create your own inner condition; you’re helping create the conditions around you.
We worship God, but have no faith in the workings of God’s laws of love. The world awaits the living of the law of love, which will reach the divine within all human beings and transform them.
It’s very important to get your desires centered so you will desire only to do God’s will for you. You can come to the point of oneness of desire, just to know and do your part in the Life Pattern. When you think about it, is there anything else as really important to desire?
Just concentrate on thinking and living and acting in harmony with God’s laws and inspiring others to do likewise.
Religion is not an end in itself. One’s union with God is the ultimate goal. There are so many religions because immature people tend to emphasize trivial differences instead of important likenesses. Differences between faiths lie in creeds and rituals rather than in religious principles...
In order to help usher in the golden age we must see the good in people. We must know it is there, no matter how deeply it may be buried. Yes, apathy is there and selfishness is there – but good is there also. It is not through judgment that the good can be reached, but through love and faith.
Think about all the good things of your life. Never think about your difficulties. Forget yourself, and concentrate on being of service as much as you can in this world, and then, having lost your lower self in a cause greater than yourself, you will find your higher self: your real self.
I would like to emphasize again that right prayer leads to right action, that faith without works is dead. An excellent way to put thoughts into action is to write a letter for peace.
I considered myself liberated long before it became the fashion. First I liberated myself from debilitating habits, and went on to free myself of combative, aggressive thoughts. I have also cast aside any unnecessary possessions. This, I feel, is true liberation.
When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.
In this world you are given as you give.
