If you think there's something you need in order to be happy, then you believe in lack. Then believing you lack, you will create more lack.

You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of God that lives in us. It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others.

Silence is the Sabbath of the soul. Therein we rest, and therein we hear everything.

The miracle-minded perception would be to make happiness itself our goal and to relinquish the thought that we know what that would look like.

If I had to choose between a narrow-minded woman or a man who was an enlightened thinker, I would vote for the man.

Rather than accepting that we are the loving beings that He created, we have arrogantly thought that we could create ourselves, and then create God. Because we are angry and judgmental, we have projected those characteristics onto Him. We have made up a God in our image. But God remains who He is and always has been: the energy, the thought of unconditional love.

We have to wage peace. That's the law of the spirit is the waging of peace, because if we simply seek to manage the effects of hatred, which does need to be done, of course. But if all we do is manage the effects of hatred, then hatred will simply stalk us the next decade or the next generation. We need to dismantle hatred itself.
