We are all led to the truth for which we are ready for. When the
student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Feeling is the
language of the soul. Words are merely utterances: noises that stand for
feelings, thoughts and experience.
All great
discoveries have been made from a willingness, and ability, to not be right.
If you have but
the faith of a mustard seed, you shall move mountains.
The more you are,
the more you can become, and the more you can become, the more you can yet be.
Life is not a
process of discovery, but a process of creation.
Life is an
opportunity for you to know experientially what you already know conceptually.
You need merely remember what you already know and act on it.
Illness and
disease are opposites of health and wellness, and are made manifest in your
reality at your behest. You cannot be ill without at some level causing
yourself to be, and you can be well again in a moment by simply deciding to be.
All of life exists
as a tool of your own creation, and all of its events merely present themselves
as opportunities for you to decide, and be, Who You Are.
There are no
victims in the universe, only creators.
Each circumstance
is a gift, and in each experience is hidden a treasure.
Do you praise to
the creation, even as you seek to change it.
It is only when
they can accept responsibility for all of it that they can achieve the power to
change part of it.
The first step in
changing anything is to know and accept that you have chosen it to be what it
is. Seek then to change not because a thing is wrong, but because it no longer
makes an accurate statement of Who You Are.
That this is so
patently obvious is what makes it so utterly painful and so poignantly ironic.
Nothing is painful
in and of itself. Pain is a result of wrong thought. It is a error in thinking.
Pain results from
a judgment you made about a thing. Remove the judgment and the pain disappears.
Judge not, and
neither condemn, for you know not why a thing occurs, nor to what end.
Belief in God
produces belief in God's greatest gift—unconditional love—and God's greatest promises—unlimited potential.
Learn to greet
each incident as a small part of a larger mosaic.
It is in not
struggling that this process proceeds. It is in surrendering that the victory
is won.
Your thought is
the parent which gives birth to all things.
You can be, do,
and have whatever you can imagine.
Emotion is the
power which attracts.
Thought is
creative. Fear attracts like energy. Love is all there is.
Masters are those
who have chosen only love.
Desire is the
beginning of all creation. It is first thought. It is a grand feeling within
the soul. It is God, choosing what next to create.
Begin at once to
imagine it the way you want it to be, and move into that.
Check every thought, word, and action that does not fall into
harmony with that. Move away from those.
All conditions are
temporary. Nothing stays the same, nothing remains static.
Which way a thing changes depends on you.
Perfect love is to
feeling is what perfect white is to color. Thus for the soul to experience
perfect love, it must experience every human feeling.
Healing is the
process of accepting all, then choose best.
These things and
more, shall you also do.
All attack is a
call for help.
Do God a favor and
don't try to contain Him. Do yourself the same favor.
God is so big, you
can't miss.
If there is some
aspect of creation you find you do not enjoy, bless it and simply change it.
Choose again. Call forth a new reality. Think a new thought. Say a new word. Do
a new thing. Do this magnificently and the rest of the world will follow you.
Ask it to. Call for it to.
Become very clear
in your thinking. Think about what you want to be, do and have. Think about it
often until you are very clear about this. Then, when you are every clear,
think about nothing else. Imagine no other possibilities. Throw all negative
thoughts out of your mental constructions. Lose all pessimism. Release all
doubt. Reject all fears. Discipline your mind to hold fast to the original
creative thought.
When your thoughts
are clear and steadfast, begin to speak them as truths. Say them out loud. Use
the great command that calls forth creative power: I am. "I am" is
the strongest creative statement in the universe.
Harnessing your
thought, exercising control over them, is not as difficult as it might seem. It
is all a matter of discipline. It is a question of intent. Learn to monitor
your thoughts; to think about what you are thinking about.
When you catch
yourself thinking negative thoughts—thoughts that negate your highest idea
about a thing—think again, literally!
Keep a day for
God, ad you shall call it holy. This, so that you do not long stay in your
illusion, but cause yourself to remember who ad what you are. And then shall
you soon call every day the Sabbath, and every moment holy.
Enlightenment is
understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have
to be except exactly who you're being right now. Stop trying to get there. Be
there.
What Enlightenment
asks you to do is to know something you have not experienced and thus
experience it. Knowing opens the door to experience.
A true Master does
not "give up" something. A true Master simply sets it aside, as he
would do with anything for which he no longer has any use.
What you resist
persists. What you look at disappears.
You are constantly
in the act of creating yourself. You are in every moment deciding who and what
you are. You decide this largely though the
choices you make regarding who and what you feel passionate about.
Understand it, see
the illusion, and step aside from the passions that do not serve him--all the
while loving the illusion for what it has brought to him: the chance to be
wholly free.
Passion is the
love of turning being into action. It fuels the engine of creation. It changes
concepts to experience. Passion is the fire that drives us to express who we
really are.
To live your life
without expectation--without the need for specific results--that is freedom.
Passion is the
path.
If you look at
something--truly look at it--you will see right through it, and right through
any illusion it holds for you, leaving nothing but ultimate reality
in your sight. In the face of ultimate reality you puny illusion has
no power. It cannot long hold you in its weakening grip. You see the
truth of it, and the truth sets you free.
There is nothing
in your reality to hold onto. Simply recreate it.
Look at whatever
it is directly-accept the reality as your creation--then choose to keep it or
not, as you wish.
The true
renunciate does not renounce, but simply chooses differently. This is an act of
moving toward something, not away from something. Resist not
temptation--but simply turn from it. Turn toward God and away from anything
unlike God.
You are, and have
always been, already there.
Suffering has
nothing to do with events, but with one's reaction to them.
Dedicate your
whole mind, your whole body, your whole soul to the process of creating Self in
the image and likeness of God. It is a choosing and a re-choosing every
instant. It is ongoing creation. Conscious creation. Creation with a purpose.
A true teacher is
not the one with the most knowledge, but one who causes the most others to have
knowledge.
The law of God is
the law of cause and effect. There is nothing you can't have if you choose it.
Even before you ask, I will have given it to you.
You always get
what you create, and you are always creating.
The purpose of a
relationship is to decide what part of yourself you'd like to see
"show up," not what part of another you can capture and hold
The purpose of
relationship in not to have another who might complete you; but to have another
with whom you might share your completeness.
The paradox of all
human relationships: You have no need for a particular other in order for
you to experience, fully, Who You Are, and... without another, you are nothing.
The most loving
person is the person who is Self-centered. Let each person in relationship
worry not about the other, but only, only, only about Self. It doesn't matter
what the other is being, doing, having, saying, wanting, demanding. It doesn't
matter what the other is thinking, expecting, planning. It only matters what
you are being in relationship to that.
The test of your
relationships has had to do with how well the other lived up to your ideas, and
how well you saw yourself living up to his or hers. Yet the only true test has
to do with how well you live up to yours.
The losing of the
Self in a relationship is what causes most of the bitterness in such couplings.
You must honor
your feelings. For honoring your feelings means honoring our Self.
You are love. Love
that needs no protection, love that cannot be lost.
What is the
highest choice? NOT what is the most profitable or how can I lose the least?
At the critical
juncture in all human relationships, there is only one question: What
would love do now?
Treating others
with love does not necessarily mean allowing others to do as they
wish.
You cannot have it
all until you are willing to give it all up.
Never do anything
in relationship out of a sense of obligation. Do whatever you do out of a sense
of the glorious opportunity your relationship affords you to decide, and to be,
Who You Really Are.
Try not to confuse
longevity with a job well done.
Cultivate the
technique of seeing all problems as opportunities to be and decide, Who You
Really Are.
Broaden the scope
of your horizons. Extend the depth of your vision. See more in you than you
think there is to be seen. See more in your partner, too. If others
notice that you see them as more, they will feel safe to show you
what you obviously already see.
People tend to see
in themselves what we see in them. The grander our vision, the grander their
willingness to access and display the part of them we have shown them.
Demonstrating Who
You Are constantly ultimately reminds others of Who They Are, for they will see
themselves in you.
There is not
obligation. Only opportunity.
Walking in
awareness.
Embarrassment is
the response of a person who still has an ego investment in how others see him.
The universe is
just a big Xerox machine. It simply produces multiple copies of your thoughts.
How to change a
Sponsoring Thought?
Reverse the
thought-word-deed process. Do the deed that you want to have the
new thought about. Then say the words that you want to have your new
thought about. Do this often enough and you'll train the mind to
think a new way.
Decide to act
before you think. Act in accordance with the new idea you have. Act quickly, or
you mind will kill the idea before you know it. The idea, the new truth, will
be dead in you before you've had a chance to know it. So act quickly when the
opportunity arises, and, if you do this often enough, your mind will soon get
the idea. It will be your new thought.
You are what you
think you are.
Doing is a
function of the body. Being is a function of the soul. The soul is forever
being. Your soul cares only about what you're being while you're doing whatever
you're doing.
Your body is
simply and merely the tool of your soul. Your mind is the power that makes the
body go.
The soul leads you
to the right and perfect opportunities for you to experience exactly what you
had planned to experience.
The function of
the soul is to indicate its desire, not impose it.
The function of
the mind is to choose from its alternatives.
The function of
the body is to act out that choice.
When body, mind,
and soul create together, in harmony and in unity, God is made flesh.
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. Remember, you cannot have what you want,
but you may experience whatever you have. "I am"
Affirmations work
only when they are statements of something you already know to be true. The
best so-called affirmation is a statement of gratitude and appreciation.
Wonderful results are from an awareness that results have already been
produced.
The body and the
mind are not dropped. The body changes form, leaving its most dense part
behind, but retaining always its outer shell. The mind goes with you too,
joining with the spirit and the body as the one energy mass of three
dimensions, or facets.
The actions of the
body were meant to e reflections of a state of being, not attempts to attain a
state of being. Your life is not about what your body is doing. Yet it is true
that what your body is doing is a reflection of what your life is about.
Everyone can love
everything the moment they understand what they are doing, and why. No one does
anything he doesn't want to do.
Worry is
pointless. It is wasted mental energy. Health will improve almost at once when
worrying ends. Worry is the activity of a mind which does not understand it
connection with God. Worry, hate, fear--together with their offshoots:
anxiety, bitterness, impatience, avarice, unkindness, judgmentalness and
condemnation—all attack the body at the cellular level. It is impossible to
have a healthy body under these conditions. Similarly--although to a somewhat
lesser degree—conceit, self-indulgence and greed lead to physical illness, or
lack of well-being. All illness is created first
in the mind.
Thought
knows no distance.
You
can never be open to the teachings so long as you are closed
to everything save your won truth. The soul conceives, the mind
creates, the body experiences.
I
and the Father are One.
Truth
is more unlimited than you can imagine.
Joy
and sacredness do mix. They are, in fact, the same thing.
You
already know the answer. You just don't know that you know it yet. Whenever you
have a question, simply know that He has answered it already. Even before you
ask, I will have answered.
