While we measure our own success in terms of our personal comfort and security, the universe measures our success by how much we have learned.

Healing... is an active and internal process that includes investigating one's attitudes, memories and beliefs with the desire to release all negative patterns that prevent one's full emotional and spiritual recovery. This internal review inevitably leads one to review one's external circumstances in an effort to recreate one's life in a way that serves activation of will - the will to see and accept truths about one's life and how one has used one's energies; and the will to begin to use energy for the creation of love, self-esteem, and health.

There are no insignificant relationships. Every experience that we have contains purpose and meaning. Each event, each person in our lives embodies an energetic fragment of our own psyche and soul. Our individual spiritual task is to recognize and integrate all of them into our awareness so that the greater pattern of our mission can shine forth in its full dimensions.

We're actually making not one but 30 choices at a time: Our mind is making a choice. Our heart's making choices.

Every single choice we make is either going to enhance the spirit or drain it. Every day, we're either giving ourselves power or taking it away.

That which serves our spirits enhances our bodies. That which diminishes our spirits diminishes our bodies.

Becoming adept at the process of self inquiry and symbolic insight is a vital spiritual task that leads to the growth of faith in oneself.
