There is a kind of spirituality that transcends the bounds of religion,
\nthat honors a God who is beyond the particular path you found to get to
\nthat God. Honoring differences is a spiritual practice that causes us
\nto make major shifts in our lives but that can give us some of the
\ngreatest joy we will ever experience. When we learn to respect each
\nother’s uniqueness, we truly understand that in truth, we are all one.
\n– Mary Manin Morrissey<\/p>\n
When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and
\nbrings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life.
\n– Jean Shinoda Bolen<\/p>\n
The most powerful thing you can do to change the world is to change
\nyour own beliefs about the nature of life, people and reality to
\nsomething more positive…and begin to act accordingly.
\n– Shakti Gawain<\/p>\n
Continuing to cling to the patterns you know inhibits your ability to discover what you don’t know.
\n– Eric Allenbaugh<\/p>\n
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people
\nalways do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can
\nbe great.
\n– Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)<\/p>\n
All things belong to us; that is, all things are ready for us whenever
\nwe can use them; but we cannot use the greater things in life so long
\nas we are living a small, partially dormant life. The riches of the
\nkingdom are not for us ‘to have and to hold;’ they are for us to use;
\nand we can use them all only as we become alive with the life more
\nabundant in every element of body, mind and soul.”
\n– Christian D. Larson

\nGod is on your side. God has a stake in you. God is not someone to
\nreach for but a Presence to accept. Instead of dwelling on how
\ndifficult things are for you, turn often to the center of your being
\nand relax in the assurance that you are God’s living enterprise and
\nthat your good fortune is secure because it is God’s good pleasure to
\ngive it to you.
\n– Eric Butterworth

\nAll emerge from that One Whose Being is ever present and Whose Life,
\nrobed in numberless forms, is manifest throughout all creation.
\nCreation is the logical result of the out-push of Life into
\nself-expression.
\nErnest Holmes

\nKeep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people

\nYour talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
\n– Leo Buscaglia<\/p>\n
In your moments of fear, recognize what your own power of choice is.
\nYou are not at the mercy of your inadequacy. The intention that will
\nempower you must come from a place within you that suggests that you
\nare indeed able to make responsible choices and draw power from them,
\nthat you are capable of acts of wholeness.
\n– Gary Zukav<\/p>\n
Have no fear about being afraid. Fear can’t learn, which is why you
\nmust learn about fear if you ever wish to be a fearless learner. So,
\nthe first thing you must learn is how to get past your fear of being
\nafraid. Here’s how. The next time a fear of some kind tries to fill one
\nof your moments, try to see the difference between the fact of your
\nsituation and your feelings about it. This it the right use of your
\nmind. For instance, it’s a fact that interest rates change. It’s not a
\nfact you have to get scared when they do. That fear is not a fact of
\nlife, but only becomes one for you as long as you insist that life
\nperform according to what you think are your best interests. As you
\nlearn to see that these fearful feelings don’t belong to you, but only
\nto your wrong thinking, you cease to be afraid, even of your own fears.

\nthey haven’t already done so, that humanity is now faced with a stark
\nchoice: Evolve or die. A still relatively small but rapidly growing

\nspiritual ideology, or mythology. We are coming to the end not only of
\nmythologies but also of ideologies and belief systems. The change goes
\ndeeper than the content of your mind, deeper than your thoughts. In
\nfact, at the heart of the new consciousness lies the transcendence of
\nthought, the newfound ability of rising above thought, of realizing a
\ndimension within yourself that is infinitely more vast than thought.
\nYou then no longer derive your identity, your sense of who you are,
\nfrom the incessant stream of thinking that in the old consciousness you
\ntake to be yourself. What a liberation to realize that the ‘voice in my
\nhead’ is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that. The
\nawareness that is prior to thought, the space in which the thought – or
\nthe emotion or sense perception – happens.
