Our success and our understanding is that all beings are right inside, the deeper we go inside ourselves. There's a saying that Unity uses that I have always liked: "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." We all have to be a part of this. We have to be the initiator. We can't wait.

We create our own reality because of our inner emotional - our subconscious - reality draws us into those situations from which we learn. We experience it as strange things happening to us (and) we meet the people in our lives that we need to learn from.

We have what is happening as a result of the current administration in our country, which I think has taken us in a totally wrong direction, postulating totally wrong things.

We are not alone in the universe. They have been coming here for a long time.
