We shouldn’t use our own upset as an excuse for not helping.

Gratitude is an opener of locked-up blessings.

You know what we need to heal are the thought forms and the feelings that cause us to create war and mass destruction on this kind of a level, because ultimately if we are to survive as a species, we have to become a human race for whom the thought of war is unthinkable.

We have a lot of choice about whether to interpret something as adversity or as opportunity. I see in myself the tendency at times to make situations worse than they have to be because of my catastrophic interpretation.

There are other kinds of emotional pain that emerge from our own mistaken thinking. As we surrender that pain, we are inviting into our thought system a guide who will lead us to different thoughts. It’s like the song “Amazing Grace”: I was blind and now I see.

Our deepest human need is not material at all. Our deepest need is to be seen.

The love is what's left at the end because it's the bedrock, fundamental reality that gets hidden all the time, but never really goes away.
