The places in our personality where we tend to deviate from love are not out faults, but our wounds. God doesn't want to punish us, but to heal us. And that is how He wishes us to view the wounds in other people.
Love brings up everything unlike itself.
It is your thoughts and your thoughts alone that determine what's possible for you now.
Forgiveness is 'selective remembering'--a conscious decision to focus on love and let the rest go.
Spend the next few days preparing for the year ahead: Forgive everyone, let go of everything, let God take charge. Amen.
There is a point at which we begin to receive a diminishing return on the accumulation of sacred knowledge unless we use it to at least try to improve the world.
The way to have the life we want is to receive more deeply the life we have. Sometimes we keep our own life at arm's length, thinking we'll wait until circumstances improve before giving it all we've got. But life is just a reflection of consciousness, so it's never going to give any more to us than we give to it. Don't wait for a perfect life; breathe in the life that's already perfect.
Seek more opportunities to put more love in the world.
The ego is always looking to find something. The Spirit can see what's already there.
As we awaken individually, we will act more powerfully collectively.
Faith isn't blind, it's visionary
The world we knew as children is still buried within our minds. Our childlike self is the deepest level of our being. It is who we really are, and what is real doesn't go away.
Carrying the past in to the present, we program the future to continue the past. Letting go the past in the present, we free the future to be something else.
I think those of us on a spiritual journey can help create a new conversation, a new America, and a new world.
