Think of the world as a loving place that is designed to give you everything that you need.

You can make really effective changes when your consciousness is free of emotional turmoil.

By tuning in to your minute-to-minute stream of consciousness, you discover the addictions that make you worried, anxious, resentful, uptight, afraid, angry, bored, etc. You thus use every uncomfortable emotion as an opportunity for consciousness growth. Even though you may still be feeling emotional and uptight, you begin to get at the roots of your ups and downs - your brief bits of pleasure and your long periods of unhappiness.

Giving up an addiction means re-programming that part of your brain that makes you restless and unhappy if a desire is not realized.

As the watcher of the screen, you are perfect. The movie that is playing on the screen might be horrendous, but you are not the movie. You are what is watching the movie.

View others as unfolding beings in their journey toward higher consciousness.

I open myself genuinely to all people by being willing to fully communicate my deepest feelings, since hiding in any degree keep me stuck in my illusion of separateness from other people.
