We lack faith in *what* exists within us because we lack faith in *Who* exists within us.

We are here to repair the world. I grew up thinking that was what everybody was trying to do.

The pain itself is a product or a reflection of how I am interpreting whatever it is that is causing me pain.

As difficult as it can be to find genuine inner calm, it is the key to creating peace in the world as we know it. The world will not change until we do, and there is nothing the world can deliver to us that will give us the peace we crave. Peace comes not from the world, but from God.

In every heart there is an inner room, where we can hold our greatest treasures and our deepest pain.

Think of the mystical three days between the crucifixion and the resurrection as the time it takes for a situation to change once spirit has infused our consciousness. As we come to look at an experience differently, in time in begins to transform.

Love is not neutral. It takes a stand. It is a commitment to the attainment of the conditions of peace for everyone involved in a situation.
