There is a direct correlation between what al Qaeda says and what it does. And the one thing that has been the gold standard of correlation has been bin Laden's 1995 - or was it 1996? - pledge that every attack is going to be more powerful than the last. If you go back to the first attack in Yemen in 1992 and chart it out, every attack has been more powerful, more destructive than the last one.

There are clearly times when quieting down and bringing our energy back into ourselves is a step toward inner peace.

Take stock of your thoughts and behavior. Each night ask yourself, when were you negative when you could have been positive? When did you withhold love when you might have given it? When did you play a neurotic game instead of behaving in a powerful way? Use this process to self-correct.

Marianne Williamson

No matter what I go through today, I need not fear. For God is all-powerful and God is here. I am never separate from the One who created me. There is nothing I can do to make Him turn his face away from me. I am loved, I am cared for, and I am totally safe in the arms of God.

"When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I am not speaking of that force which is just emotional bosh.

This man, your oppressor, is automatically morally defeated, and if he has any conscience, he is ashamed.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation.
