If you did something in 1975 that you deeply regret and that you now can recognize as having been profoundly irresponsible, for example, the only way to be lifted out of deep regret and the pain over it is through atonement - through the kind of remorse that leads to genuine atonement, the making of amends, and forgiveness of self and others.
Putting love first means knowing that the universe supports you in creating the good, the holy, and the beautiful. It means knowing that you're on the earth for a purpose, and that the purpose itself will create opportunities for its accomplishment.
The Light in you is the unalterable truth of who you are. You can deny it and obscure it, but you cannot uncreate it.
Make a room for love and it always comes. Make a nest for love and it always settles. Make a home for the beloved and the beloved with always find their way there
If a person is fearful, it is a fearful time. If a person is hopeful, it's a hopeful time. If you look at world events one way, fear is reasonable. If you look at the world another way, hope is justified.
Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing. At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.
How tragic it is that so often we stop everything just as we reach the starting line. We must move past the narcissistic preoccupation with getting the love we think 'works' for us. The point of love is to make us grow, not to make us immediately happy. Many of us have forsworn the chance for the deepest love in reaching out for the easier one.
Since our peace lies in loving as God loves, we must strive to love everyone. The only love that completes us is the love of God, and the love of God is the love of everyone.
We're often afraid of looking at our shadow because we want to avoid the shame or embarrassment that comes along with admitting mistakes.
We find our happiness to the extent to which we use our minds to bless the world, for that is the natural use of the mind. It is the reason we were born.
The real transformation of the world comes not from what we are doing but from the consciousness from which we are doing it.
When we think with love, we are literally co-creating with God.
Where there is peace, there cannot be chaos; the two cannot coexist at the same time.
The human race is almost addicted to war. It's like we just can't stop.
