All religions develop, become exclusive, become divisive and quarrelsome.

A fixed habit is supported by old, well-worn pathways in the brain. When you make conscious choices to change a habit, you create new pathways. At the same time, you strengthen the decision-making function of the cerebral cortex while diminishing the grip of the lower, instinctual brain. So without judging your habit, whether it feels like a good one or a bad one, take time to break the routine, automatic response that habit imposes.

It is undeniable that we all create scenarios and then become convinced by them, down to our very cells.

When we heed the call of our deepest desires, we fulfill our true destinies.

Churchgoers feel righteous, responsible, and obedient to God's will. They view anyone unlike themselves as devoid of values, and therefore unworthy of God's love. By denying God to all those who have strayed from the path of righteousness, the devout are unwittingly taking on themselves a role that belongs only to God.

You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love - that is the spiritual goal of life.

If you create any open space within yourself, love will fill it.
