Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we
\ncall forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth
\nmore positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately.
\nHaving won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter,
\nI now savor the sweet.<\/p>\n
Love in your mind produces love in your
\nlife. This is the meaning of Heaven. Fear in your mind produces fear in
\nyour life. This is the meaning of Hell.<\/p>\n
In asking God to heal you, you are committing to the choice to be healed. This means the choice to change.<\/p>\n
– (all the above by) Marianne Williamson<\/p>\n
I know God promises not to give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn’t trust me so much.<\/p>\n
– Mother Teresa<\/p>\n
Evil
\n(ignorance) is like a shadow– it has no real substance of its own, it
\nis simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by
\ntrying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other
\nform of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to
\ndisappear, you must shine light on it.<\/p>\n
– Shakti Gawain<\/p>\n
I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.<\/p>\n
– John Cage<\/p>\n
When
\nyou indulge your anger, jealousy, vengefulness, or any other form of
\nfear, you turn your back on the nourishment the Universe provides
\nyou. Indulging in your emotions with the intention of learning
\nfrom them is like eating from a banquet that never ends.<\/p>\n
– Gary Zukav and Linda Francis<\/p>\n
The
\nArt of Peace is medicine for a sick world. There is evil and disorder
\nin the world because people have forgotten that all things emanate from
\none source. Return to that source and leave behind all self-centered
\nthoughts, petty desires, and anger. Those who are possessed by nothing
\npossess everything.<\/p>\n
– Morihei Ueshiba<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t look outside
\nyourself for answers. Don\u2019t seek refuge in the ideas, opinions and
\nadvice of other people. Don\u2019t go into your head and try to figure
\nthings out. Surrender all of that, and seek the place where love
\nbegins, in your own heart. It is your responsibility to reconnect with
\nthe Source of love when you need to. No one else can do it for you.<\/p>\n
– Paul Ferrini, Return to the Garden<\/i><\/p>\n

God
\nis all that there is. No matter what I am experiencing, it’s happening
\nwithin this one perfect Presence. That which I perceive, the act of
\nperception, and the perceiver are one. I see the face of God everywhere.<\/p>\n
Today,
\nI decide to let my heart be completely opened to this Presence. Rather
\nthan hold myself back or stand off to the side in skepticism, I dive in
\nto the complete experience of God.<\/p>\n
The truth is that I can
\nexperience God in many ways – as immutable law and unconditional Love.
\nAs perfect principle and as the comforting presence within. I look
\nwithin myself and discover that I am ready to know God as both love and
\nlaw. I use the lawful nature of God intelligently, deliberately, and
\nwith immediate results. There’s no need to check my intelligence at the
\ndoor to have a heart-centered experience of God. So with the amazing
\nintelligence I have been given by God, I now experience the radiant
\npresence within my own heart.<\/p>\n
It’s nothing I need to reach,
\nto accomplish, or to find; it’s everywhere I am. There’s no ‘deserving’
\nthat needs to take place; for this I was created. God is with me
\nalways, and I know it with all of my mind – and all of my heart. In
\ncomplete gratitude, I let this word unfold in surprising and wonderful
\nways. And so it is.<\/p>\n
