Soul-the spiritual principle, the creative spark of God-cannot work if you panic. Anxiety shuts down the creative centers. When you can't think, whatever you try to do becomes one blunder piled upon another. If you slow down, the spiritual principle can begin working through you so that you can figure out the solution to the problem that is bothering you.

Whether you are out in the world, or you're at home, you are simply an instrument of God's love in your universe.

Every thought, word, or deed, either purifies or pollutes the body.

Youth are the leaders of tomorrow. Those who practice the Spiritual Exercises of Eck will know how to lead by the example of love instead of the methods of force and lies, which are the standards of leaders under the spell of the negative force.

The outflow that comes from giving of oneself opens the door to spiritual unfoldment while the attitude of taking locks it.

When you do your best, you are expressing an attribute of God.

You must always remember this. When hardships come, don't automatically ask God to deliver you from them. Perhaps it would be wiser to ask: What do I have to learn before I am delivered from this problem?
