The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.

Everything that happens to you is self-created. Whenever you're responding to any situation, whether it's a sip of coffee, or a traffic jam, or a love note, or criticism from a boss, or rainy weather, you're in fact responding to a signal that you generated within yourself.

Everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you've made in the past.

There is a need for everyone's brain to be imprinted with more self-enhancing impulses: the impulse to peace over violence, love over fear, compassion over selfishness.

Thoughts come and go like leaves in the wind, but the core of consciousness is forever.

The person you call an enemy is an exaggerated aspect of your own shadow self.

Remember this: Beliefs divide, values unite. When we go to the values that underlie so many religious beliefs, they unite us.
