The highest level of creativity consists in being, not doing.
A Course in Miracles tells us that although 'we think that without the ego, all would be chaos, the opposite is true. Without the ego, all would be love.'
If you allow spirit to have dominion in your heart you will have dominion in your life. That changes thinking. That IS the miracle. That I'm not just a child of the body, I'm a child of the universe and in the universe I am programmed for greatness, and the fact that I don't have money in my bank account now doesn't mean I'm any less programmed for greatness. I was programmed for greatness just like the acorn is programmed to be an oak tree.
These are very serious times, and serious people need to be doing some serious thinking.
We're just afraid, period. Our fear is free-floating. We're afraid this isn't the right relationship or we're afraid it is. We're afraid they won't like us or we're afraid they will. We're afraid of failure or we're afraid of success. We're afraid of dying young or we're afraid of growing old. We're more afraid of life than we are of death.
The universe is a multi-dimension al creative process, constantly forming new facets of possibility for you and all living things. Expanding our awareness of the process, we allow ourselves to experience more of it. Every moment we can remember that ANYTHING is possible in a realm of endless possibility.
Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed, but can only be hidden
The bottom line in love is not whether someone loves you, but whether someone chooses you.
We need more than a new politics; what we need is a new worldview. We need a fundamentally different bottom line.
By softening our attitudes, practicing mercy and compassion, we transform our lives by transforming other people's experience of us. Send love before you when you enter a room, and people will subconsciously feel it; they'll be prone to show greater kindness in return. That's how love makes things work better in our lives; it realigns the reactions of people and things around us.
A real leader is not the top dog who merely shouts down orders. a leader is one who holds the space for the brilliance of others.
We experience who we really are, and what it is we are meant to do, in any moment when we pour our love into the universe.
Prayer enables us to transform the world because it transforms us.
We need to shift from an economic to a humanitarian organizing principle for human civilization. And women, en masse, should be saying so.
